I'm interested in hacking my Switch solely for emulation purposes. If I just use Lakka and nothing else (so no cfw or homebrew) what are the chances I get banned?

HenryEx posted:Very very low, when you never touch the Horizon OS. Can't rule it out completely, but it's as safe as it gets when you don't boot into Nintendo's firmware at all to do your thing, which i assume Lakka doesn't (it's one of those linux packages, right?) Correct, it's a linux thing so in theory it wouldn't interact with Horizon at all. I buy most of my Switch games through the eshop, so I'm a tad paranoid about getting banned.

Bank posted:I picked up a Wii U and going through the motions to install CBHC on it. As I'm doing that, I'm realizing how much I hate the Wii U controller. I have a Wiimote at home but what are the recommended controllers for it? Should I buy a Wii U pro controller? Pro controller is a solid choice, that thing is way more comfortable to use than wiimote or tablet.

You don't need to solder the battery in, just wrap the battery+contacts in electrical tape. That's what I did when I replaced the battery in my Crystal cart and it worked fine.

I've not tried the Wii U but the Wii was piss-easy to put homebrew on and a very good experience overall.

Beating all the levels with each character just gets you a fifth shiny star on your save slot which while tempting isn't worth playing as Peach with her floaty nonsense jump Excuse you peach's floaty nonsense jump solves so many platforming problems and is cool and good.

Now that I have the new fancy oled switch I can go to town on my old one without fear of being without a switch if I break it. Anyone have recommendations for jigs and whatnot I can use to get things started?

Commander Keene posted:I recommend this guide. I hacked my Vita, two 3DS consoles (old and new), and my Wii U (twice) using the guides on this site, without ever having any problems or suspicious files. Seconding this guide, I've hacked two 3DSes and a switch using this guide and it's been easy and free of bad files.

LizzieBorden posted:SD card poo poo the bed. New SD card has arrived. Can I just copy by back up folder on to it after I've formatted it and pop it in? Yup! You may need to pop it into the console first to initialize the card or whatever but you should just be able to copy over your old stuff.

If you get banned it will almost certainly just be a console ban. Account bans are really only given out for cheating in an online game. Your chances of a console ban are pretty much dependent on what was on there that would be noticeably different. Did you have non-official stuff as icons on the home menu? Did you have any hacks or mods installed, even texture mods? If not, then you're probably okay, but these things are never certain.

AlternateNu posted:What is the easiest way to merge multi-disk BIN files for emulator use? For PSIO, it's relatively easy because I have the PSIO system console for that, but it can be a bit fiddly, and it doesn't always merge things in a way that makes them readable by more generic emulators like Retroarch. If the emulator supports it, making a .m3u file (use this tutorial) is the easiest way.

I have various hacked consoles, including a cfw capable switch. I also have a steam deck. What would be the best way to play 3DS games on a big screen? Assume I'd be playing games that don't need touch controls.

Saoshyant posted:Deck has a big screen for a handheld but if you mean an actual TV set, then you can also dock it there. Citra will play nearly everything in the 3DS catalogue pretty well. Check the EmuDeck stuff. Thank you for this, been meaning to look into EmuDeck.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:I use Citra via EmuDeck on the Steam Deck and can confirm that it's great. Always found the Switch screen just a bit too small and the performance wasn't always great. Deck is perfect. This is excellent to hear. Can you give any detail on games you played and how they ran?

mandatory lesbian posted:Is hacking an OLED switch easy enough? I probably should have kept my launch switch to hack but the battery life was so trash....and the OLED is such a pretty screen... There is currently no way to software hack an OLED switch. You can search around and see if hardware mods are available but chances are pretty slim of you getting anywhere with it without a lot of difficulty or a lot of money. Should've kept the launch one.
