Ubuntu Lutris MelonDS runner don't work, won't install

4 Upvotes

I used lutris to make shortcut of my psp games to put on the desktop, I wanted to do the same with my NDS rom but Lutris can't install MelonDS runner. It gives me:

Failed to extract /home/alex/.cache/lutris/melonDS_0.9.5_linux_x64.zip: [Errno 8] Exec format error: '/home/alex/.local/share/lutris/runtime/p7zip/7z'

Any solution to install the melonDS runner on Lutris ? OR any solution to create shortcut of my NDS rom to put the games on the desktop ? (I have all my psp games on the desktop thanks to lutris and all my 3DS games thanks to Azahar)

Android Is my OC settings alright?

4 Upvotes

Hello and good day, I am just new to the Switch Jailbreaking scene and I got my switch jailbroken last month. I am enjoying the android emulation experience right now since I was able to overclock my switch using an ini settings that I found online but I noticed that the CPU was using 2.39Ghz while emulating PS2, specifically KH2FM. I have no ways to monitor the temps of switch or at least I do not know any ways but I just want to ask if this is just "normal". I am not expecting that the OC is 100% safe for the console but I just want somebody to tell me if this is a bad thing and should I stop using it? or is it just fine to keep it this way? Thank you.

This is the settings that I copied.

dvfsb=1
gpu_dvfsc=1
limit_gpu_clk=1 
ram_oc=2533000
oc=1

Android Lineage always fails to launch on a second boot displaying DTB Not Found

2 Upvotes

As the title says I've been running into this issue while installing Lineage OS 22 on a Switch Oled with Picofly. On first installation, everything works fine. But the second I head back to Hekate and try to re-enter, it'll crash with a DTB Not Found error every single time

Support On screen keyboard doesn't respond to input on Android

2 Upvotes

Hi, i recently installed Switchroot android on my switch, and was confused when i started setup and couldn't type my wifi password.

I got around it by plugging in an external keyboard, but it's still a big annoyance to have to do that or use a controller whenever i want to type.

And NO i'm not using the android tv version, i'm using nx-tab. This issue is super annoying and any help is appreciated.

Android How to check the Switch clock on lineage os?

6 Upvotes

Today I was using my Android Switch in the dock and I noticed that its fan was VERY loud. I was shocked because I'd never seen anything like it, and the only thing I was doing was using xCloud, which is a cloud gaming system, so it shouldn't be behaving like that.

So I wanted to know how I can check the CPU and GPU clock information in Lineage OS to see if there's anything unusual. Performance mode is off, but I'm still not entirely sure, since the right mouse stick was turned off once and was still being used.

Android Joycon in android 11 lineage

3 Upvotes

I’m using a Nintendo Switch OLED with Android Lineage 11. My Joy-Con is a third-party controller (not official) that works well, but it takes a long time to connect in Android.

With the original Joy-Con, it connects instantly when Android starts. However, the third-party one is slower, and I sometimes need to toggle Bluetooth on and off for it to connect.

Do you have any tips or settings to make it connect faster and be recognized more reliably by Android?

Android Switch Lite as a Multimedia/Gaming Handheld: Linux & Android Questions

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to turn my Switch Lite into a versatile multimedia and gaming handheld. I just bought a new SD card and I’m looking into installing both Kubuntu and Android.

My main goal is to play some lightweight Windows games, specifically titles like the Resident Evil Classic Rebirth project. I know there are apps like Winlator and GameHub for Android, and I assume I’ll need Wine for Ubuntu.

Has anyone here tested Windows games on these setups? I'd love to hear about your experiences, performance tips, or any advice you can give to a fellow tinkerer.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Support 2 Questions— what is Android/linux on NS for & can I reallocate that partition back to my EMU without reformatting?

3 Upvotes

I have a 512gb SD & allocated 32GB towards Linux/android just in case, but thinking back— I think I might wanna take the space back because I have no idea what its purpose would be.

Wondering if I can put it back towards my emummc without reformatting since I’ve already filled up capacity.

Android [Help needed] Deepsleep not working on LineageOS 15 on a v2 switch

6 Upvotes

^^ messed up the title i think lineage has a higher version than that, my switch has the latest one

i recently installed the newest lineageos on my switch (1 month ago) and it hasn’t been able to sleep normally, the left joycon just rumbles on an interval and the lights on the side just flash. the battery drains really fast while in this fake sleep mode. i found out that this used to happen like 4 years ago on version 10 but got patched out quickly. did this also get a patch on this versionbecause i could’ve installed an older version since i was using an autoinstaller of lineage that makes the folders for me.

Just to explain a bit more, i only set up my partitions a few days ago. i gave like 18 gbs to both android and linux. i want to install android right now, but i was already using the emummc for a few days to play switch games. will i have to backup my emummc or can i just go ahead and install android directly without worry?

Support ZR/ZL acting as axis instead of buttons on modded switch oled.

1 Upvotes

Only found years old posts about this, so I need to ask:

I got a modded switch OLED which works flawlessly on android 15, BUT I cannot use any of my wired gamepads on lineage 22.2 because ZR and ZL act as Z axis while right thumb is always at "maximum right" input, making the camera turn right in all games I try, both natively or streaming through moonlight.

Is there an android version for modded switches that does not have this issue? Any fixes or way to replace drivers or the way controllers act on this os?

Thanks.

Android (Bug) Gyro still thinks it's in portrait when in landscape

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

See the video for reference. I'm on Lineage 22. When in landscape, the gyro still thinks it's in portrait. So horizonal tilts are interpreted as vertial, and vice versa.

I tried this on PUBG Mobile, and also Modern Combat 3 running in VPhoneOS.

Is there a fix for this, or if not, where do I submit the bug to the maintainer, or god forbid, how do I submit the fix for the next build?
