I have a question how to I leave lakka to come back to luncher?

[BUDA]

that autofocus made me feel what is to be a chicken

[mikejones]

Was having issues where the joycon didn't work, even after dumping the joycons. Also Lakka is booting into the old XMB UI instead of the newer Switch-like UI. Guessing I have old configurations from older builds, going to delete all the files and copy them over again. Great video, thanks!

One question. HOW do I adjust the brightness while using Retroarch?

[allantebu]

i have a problem with the configuration of my pad, my right joycon does not work anymore, so when i dumped them in nyx options, hekate recognise only one joycon'(the left) but when Lakka start, i can't configure my xbox360 pad that i used to play with it on atmosphere. do i habe to buy new joycons, or is there a solution at this stage to resolve it? thank you

I wish Retroarch can be installed into polymega. It would be awesome.

[carnby]

ahhh...this works only on unpatched version....not on mariko! I get coreboot error.

[faizzakaria]

Why mine become blue screen when launch it?

[Sasaki]

Do you have to format the sd card? I have atmosphere installed and wondered if by installing Lakka it would give me an extra option to boot or it just wont work if i dont format the card?

[KylekingOspojellyz]

Great i installed it, how can you overclock the ram, i would like to know

[JEHINC.GameVidz]

Can't format my SD card to fat32. There is no option. So I used I program to do it, but it only lets me put a certain amount of data on it. I tried with two different SD cards and got the same results. One is 256GB and the other is 64GB. Is the fat32 really required? I haven't really tried

[XNIlAAA]

how do i close a game. I'm stuck in family guy 💀

[Gabriele]

I chose "Reboot Lakka" from the menu, now my switch it's stuck with a cross tahat moves wherever i put my finger. How can i remove it?

[clizzon]

with me it just boots onto the loading lakka screen then stops does anyone know how to fix

[vvindham]

As pro retroarch user, may I ask you what’s better way to run it on the switch? I’ve done the lineage Android setup and downloaded arch off the store. wasn’t anymore happier than homebred version, same performance to me.

[Mario.Taumberger]

The lakka symbol will stay for ever and it dont start on my switch

[tthef]

How do i exit lekka and enter hekate on the lasted firmware on switch

[radonptg]

What would be the advantages of running Lakka on the switch instead of running Retroarch on Atmosphère

[coinckwac]

its telling me it can't find my joy cons even though they are connected

[BFY]

Does the switch have to be hacked in order to boot Hekate?
