why are retards making a big deal out of this?
You can access the browser from the settings menu since day 1 through dns redir
are brainlets really not aware that comex pwned the browser shortly after the console released?
>>
we /steam machine/ now
>>
>>566017330
System Menu can get updated at any time so having a backup is always good.
>>
>>566019690
I expect the Steam Machine to be a disaster. Things might improve over time but it will be an utter shitshow on launch that kills all of the hype.
>>
>>566026060
the price will be disappointing for sure. the only way it'll be good is if it's priced appropriately which at the current climate, is literally fucking impossible.
but I expect it to be scalped as all hell just like the controllers recently
anyway, homebrews
>>
>>566019690
>>566026060
It seems like the path forward for me. I am a console gamer. I pirate. If devs are targeting those specs and I can get pirated games running on it then it makes sense. I don't care about getting the best framerates or whatever gay shit the consumer drones spend all their money to chase. I also don't want to maintain a PC gaming setup.
>>
>>566028073
If you're happy pirating games easily and playing in 1080p 30fps then it sounds like a PS4 is more your thing. Especially for the price difference.
>>
>>566005637
Is there any way to get Sharpscale for PS3?
>>
>>566028845
a ps4 can't emulate a switch, among other things
also, i would say "for the prospected price i got my current pc which is more powerful than the steam machine", but that was a few years ago now, prices aren't the same so whatever
>>
>>566026060
hoping for an updated revision a few years from now with an RX 9060 XT equivalent
>>
>>566028845
PS4 isn't going to be getting new games. I'll own a PS4 as well. Probably a PS5 too just because I can get it cheap enough but I can't see myself buying too many games and I'll probably just stick on whatever firmware I need to get GTA6 running.

a second starfox 64 remake just happened
>>
Thought you guys were joking about a random midnight Direct
>>
>>566016867
Yes, but you have to do the following:
1. Buy a Switch 2
2. Buy any games you want to play on it
3. Play the games on the Switch 2

Note that if you buy the Japanese Language Only Switch 2 you can only use Japanese Nintendo Accounts on it and games without a separate language selector will play in Japanese.
>>
>>566061825
yesterday when updating a friends switch I thought to myself
>what If I just make a hats-light with everything I mention in my pasta and only must-haves have mission control and sys-clk
maybe one day
>>
we up
>>
Well bros. I think it has come to this. I am going to try to delete a bunch of games and back up my Switch SD card so I can repartition it. I am making this decision while I just woke up and had my coffee, barely lucid. That's how you know it's a really good decision.
>>
>>566099743
I probably should have just deleted all the games so this takes less time. I have them all on my seedbox so downloading them is no problem. Oh well we will do this the slow way.
>>
I have a Linux partition. I have an Android partition. It's full steam ahead with this shit.
>>
Note to anyone reading: live blogging this shit is only an excuse to keep bumping this thread with on topic posts.

During my Nintendo Switch Linux adventures I got the news that my PS1, my Wii U gamepad, and my bluray burner from Japan have arrived at customs in my country. Hell yeah.
>>
Ubuntu works. Time to put everything back on the SD card.
>>
Yawn
>>
got a patched v1 switch, which modchip should i look for?
>>
>>566115478
whatever comes first on aliexpress
>>
got ubuntu running on my ps5
>>
>>566116283
Fuckin nice. I hope when I eventually buy one I will win the firmware version lottery. Seems quite unlikely.
>>
>>566116364
I got my system on launch day and stopped updating on 4.03, yeah dude you're looking for a 2021 system and that's when the ps5 use to just sell out in an instance
>>
Ah that damned archive bit. Can't forget about it.
>>
hihihi
>>
>>566016867
Unless there is a way to decrypt the kernel and games, no.
>>
Fuck phone posting now that I have Android on here I'm Switchposting
>>
>>566124579
which typically only happens if the system is hacked or if the keys leaked...?
>>
back to page 1
>>
nxbrew is back
>>
What's the best mods to make Scarlet/Violet not run like shit on Switch?
>>
Why oh why did my emuMMC get fucked up after installing Android? Hopefully it's an easy fix.
>>
>>566136631
You have to take the Switch, throw it in the trash and go to a retailer and ask them for Switch 2 model.
>>
>>566128558
Yeah, but at this point I would be content with just the keys, no need to be able to pirate shit on the console itself
>>
>>566140326
For me it's the opposite. I am a console gamer first and foremost.
>>
Well bros it looks like my shit is fucked right the hell up. Surely I can recover. But perhaps not in time to play any games on Horizon OS tonight. This is a battle for tomorrow.
>>
>>566141206
traces uh
>>
>>566148481
Nah nothing that horrific. I got mine done by a pro. After repartitioning my SD card so I could put Linux and Android I first flashed Linux. Then I copied the backup of the contents of my SD card back onto the Switch. Everything was fine. Horizon OS worked. Then after flashing Android I got "Invalid GPT Signature" and I couldn't fucking boot Horizon OS. One of the Reddit replies said to delete the emummc folder which worked, but of course my games and saves are not there after I do that. So I need to figure out how to properly migrate everything back in. It's likely going to involve just restoring the saves into a fresh emummc then reinstalling the games. Massive pain in the ass.
