Just wondering if there is any word of someone doing a double dash port? I recently tried playing with GameCube emulator on my switch but it just didn’t run smooth enough for my liking. I’m currently playing the wind Waker GameCube port and it runs so nice!

Was trying to follow the instructions on creating a recomp port and turns out my old laptop can’t run some of the software needed. I have a game dump of WWHD. I just downloaded the ready-to-useversion of WW Gamecube but would really like to get my hands on a ready to use HD version.

Question MK8DX not booting with mods just vanilla?

0 Upvotes

Title, I have all the mods installed and in the correct folders, but when I boot it it just boots normally. I have gotten a 100% save file but any mods don't work, just boots with DLC and my 100% save.

Any ideas how to fix?

(RCM Jig switch, using atmosphere. Ver 3.0.4 of MK8)

News Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Controls Remap mod (unpopular)

0 Upvotes

Key bindings

Action Button
Accelerate / rocket start R or ZR
Drift / hop / ramp trick L or ZL
Use item / hold item / horn B
Brake / reverse A
Look behind Y
Steer / aim items forward or backward Left stick (unchanged)
Pause + (unchanged)
X No racing action assigned by this remap

Normal menu navigation is intended to stay the same: A to confirm, B to go back. Button prompts still show the original controls. This changes the bindings, not Mario Kart's handling, physics or abilities.

This mod turns Mario kart 8 deluxe controls to any modern games like.

SWITCH:

Download from the latest release.

  1. Use the normal system/controller button mapping so it does not stack with this mod.
  2. Back up any existing mod that replaces Common/Controller/NXDouble.gctr.
  3. Extract the ZIP and merge its atmosphere folder into the SD card root.
  4. Fully close and reopen Mario Kart.

​

SD:/atmosphere/contents/0100152000022000/
└── romfs/
    └── Common/
        └── Controller/
            └── NXDouble.gctr

Eden:

Right-click Mario Kart and select Open Mod Data Location. Create a folder named CrossWorlds Controls, then copy the included romfs folder into it. Enable the mod and leave Eden's controller mapping at the normal Switch layout.

Question Help updating (any advice helps)

2 Upvotes

Pls note that I don't have much knowledge in this so your patience is really appreciated ;(

Hi all, I have this switch lite and had someone help install a mod chip into it forever ago. I'm picking this thing up for the first time in years and would love some pointers/tutorials on how to update it.
I vaguely recall the person who helped me install the mod that there was a one and done app natively on my switch for me to update everything as well, I'm not sure where to find this.

Anything helps, thanks for reading

Details I know:

- hekate v6.5.1

- cfw v16.0.3|AMS 1.10.2|E

I’m so excited that WWHD is apparently working on switch but it would be a dream to have it running 60fps. I doubt it’s possible but one can always help! If not the HD version, what about the GameCube version? Is HD texture pack usable on the GC decomp version?

News Finished the Windwaker HD port! Ver 0.4.6 Spoiler

I just wanna take a moment to thank the devs for making the Wind Waker HD port possible on the Switch.

The port has been surprisingly playable, and with the latest updates, there have been very few issues in my experience. The devs have also been pretty quick to address bugs and fix problems, which I really appreciate.

If you're still hesitant to try this port because you think it's "too early" or because of the controversy surrounding the use of AI in its development, I'm telling you, you're missing out.

I genuinely never thought I'd see the day when I'd be able to play Wind Waker HD natively on my Switch. getting to experience this game on the go is something I never imagined would actually happen.

Once again, huge thanks to the devs for all the work they've put into this project. You guys have made something special, and I can't wait to see how much further this port improves!

OC - CPU: 1428MHz, GPU: 460MHz, MEM: 1600MHz

(with these clocks, It last about 3 hours of gameplay on 100% battery, and temp goes below 50°c, mostly on 45°c.)

News PlayGuard :the Switch’s own parental controls and play-time limit, set offline on a modded console

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

19 Upvotes

Hi r/SwitchPirates,

If you've tried to set a play-time limit on a modded Switch, you know the problem: the Parental Controls phone app needs the console to reach Nintendo, and System Settings has no time limit at all. The usual answer is a sysmodule or an overlay.

https://github.com/JigSawFr/PlayGuard

I wanted the console's own parental controls to do the job, so I wrote PlayGuard. It's a homebrew app that sets Nintendo's native parental controls directly on the console, offline. No phone app, no Nintendo account, nothing sent to Nintendo.

Because it's the native system, the countdown, the "time's up" warning, the PIN prompt and the suspension are exactly the ones you get on a stock Switch. Nothing runs in the background, and the limits stay in place even if PlayGuard is deleted from the SD card.

What you can do with it:

• Set a daily play-time limit, the same every day or per weekday, give extra time, or stop play for today
• Set the bedtime alarm, the restriction level, the age rating and the PIN
• See play time per game and per user account, and export it (CSV, JSON, XLSX, PDF)
• Keep the console clock right offline (NTP), and see when someone has moved it
• Unlink a previous owner's phone app or remove parental controls on a second-hand console
• Undo any change from the history, back up your settings, in every console language

Good to know:

• Firmware 21.0.0 to 22.5.0, tested on 22.0.0, 22.1.0 and 22.5.0. Older firmware works except for the play timer. 23.x opens read-only until it has been tested on hardware.
• Nintendo's timer has one limit for the whole console. If you need a different limit per kid, NSParentalControl is a better fit.
• sysMMC and emuMMC each have their own parental controls: set both if you use both.
Install extract playguard.zip to the root of the SD card. Updates then install from the app itself.

Download: https://github.com/JigSawFr/PlayGuard/releases

It started as a fork of Taylor's Pctl Manager and it's open source (GPLv3). I'm the developer, so ask away. And if you try it on 23.x, a report would really help.

Discussion Should I update the 6.0.0 firmware of my stock unpatched & un-modded Switch before modding it?

3 Upvotes

Story time....

So when I bought my switch back in 2017, I only ever updated it to 6.0.0 played Mario and Zelda and then got a new job the never got round to playing it again, so much so I actually forgot a few times I owned one 😂

Over the years I would remember and check out what the modding scene is up to in the hope that I could play game online* (yeah I was being a cheap bastard, #sorrynotsorry 😄) but all the solutions proved to not be the case (at least the advertised solutions as I remember when the OG Xbox method was kept a quiet secret for years before they finally let the cat out the bag, as everyone moved to the 360) so I waited and waited, and basically nearly 10 years later were on the newer released Switch and I realised I never got to enjoy my switch... So that's on me.

Back to my actual question. This thing is basically a virgin!... I got my RCM Jig, a 250GB SD Card and the https://switch.hacks.guide/ guide and all downloads e.g. OmniRCM, Hektate etc ready to go.

But before I start this process, this switch is still on firmware 6.0.0 is there any benefit to keeping it on this version or should I just update it to 23.0.1? or its makes no difference?

Thanks.
