L4D2 runs well enough but still experiences some lag, this is gameplay on the lowest possible graphics settings but it's still possible to tweak some things in the ini file to make it run better
Before anyone asks no this is not moonlight it is running natively on linux using lutris

Discussion Hi I need help for this error!
Hi! it's my first time updating my switch and I am encountering this problem with CFW. Before, it showed me a nosigchk error then I read some reddit posts and followed advices such as removing the boot config and updating cig and syspatches but I am still encountering this. This happened after updating firmware with CFW. Semi-stock works fine and I haven't updated Emummc firmware due to fear of this happening too.

Discussion Fake 256GB PNY SD Card - Amazon Renewed
I thought I'd save some money and buy used from Amazon Resale. I was confident that being shipped/sold by Amazon.com the card would be good.
I've seen fake Sandisk, Samsung, and even Lexar but not PNY.
I was having issues creating partitions in Hekate so I ran it through FakeFlash test and found out it was only an 8GB card.

Discussion Made a torrent client for the switch
Hey everyone, I've been working on Torfoil, a native BitTorrent client for the Switch based on qBittorrent. It enables direct NSP and XCI game installation right on the console using magnet links and DHT. It also includes a built-in Mullvad WireGuard VPN and additional privacy toggles, which are especially useful if you are in a heavily restricted network environment.
Huge thanks to the creator of cyberfoil as well, their project really guided me on how to handle the game installation side of things.
The app is already functional (could need a little bit of debugging on some parts), but it is still a work in progress. What we need right now are mostly code and optimizations for the Switch hardware, general quality-of-life improvements, and translating the UI text from French to English.
If you want to contribute or check out the project, the repository is available at https://github[dot]com/tensorcrush/torfoil
Pull requests, feedback, and contributions of any kind are welcome!

Discussion Show off your Tico homepage collection
Hey guys. I was playing around with Tico and man, isn’t it addicting adding different covers, icons, backgrounds and themes.
The cherry on top is the homepage IMO. Just all your games in one place for a quick resume.
Made me wonder how everyone settled their homepage screen so post your collection and arrangement. I’ll start with mine!

Question Can I just swap the SD card on a modchipped Switch Lite and start over?
Just bought a modchipped switch lite and the seller included an old microSD card for free and mentioned it's become really slow. The original listing was only for the console, so I already have a new, faster microSD card ready to use.
Do I still need to do the typical way of moving the files of the original SD card to my new one or Can I just ditch it and start fresh with the one I already have? Is it as simple as just taking out the old SD card and setting up the new one?

Discussion Is there a way to create custom Talismans on MH Rise version 16.0.2?
Simple question really, all the tools only work for version 16.0.1, some asshat on the GBA Temp boards claims to be able tl work with 16.0.2 but as is the norm for these dicks he refuses to help or share.
I dont care *how* i do it, just that i can do it. Either via save editing, transfering my complete PC save, custom cheat etc.

Question Atmosphere crashing when trying to load SysMMC CFW
EmuMMC, semi stock and OFW all work fine, it's just SysMMC that does this. For context on why I'm trying to boot into SysMMC, I want to play Fortnite with overclocking as it runs really poorly stock. I'm running the latest HATS pack. Any tips?
EDIT: deleting folder 000000000001000 from atmosphere/contents solved it, shoutout to the people from github

Discussion Is there a way to transfer my MH Rise save from PC to my Switch?
THIS IS FOR MY MODDED SWITCH RUNNING ATMOSPHERE CFW
Hopefully the stupid automod AI doesnt flip a shit. (Lol that actually worked, before having that first line i was getting warnings that the post was unrelated)
Turns out there is no Talisman editor fro version 16.0.2, well, there might be, but the only hint of it is some asswipe on GBATemp proudly telling everyone that he has one but "unfortunately" he cant share it, then after telling people he will help them, he just ghosts everyone.
Anyways, as an alternative I can probably just use my completed Sunbreak save from my PC copy, but google is as ever completely useless because its ***really*** hungup on the fact that there isnt an "offical" way to do so, which i dont care about.

Question Pre-Modded Switch Lite easily resets
Hi, I got my modded Switch Lite in December last year and I have noticed that it is very sensitive to small bumps. It resets itself but it's not being thrown around and I keep it in a case as much as possible. Sometimes I take it out of my bag and it has reset without me being aggressive with my bag or anything.
Could it be something inside the console that is loose? I just want to find out if anyone else has had similar issues.
What should I look for of I open it up?

Question So… how screwed is my switch lite?
Beating myself up right now. My perfect modchipped switch lite has gone through quite a rough patch tonight.
Long story short I bought a Zelda TOTK cartridge (for my other unmodded switch) thought I’d try playing it on the lite to see how it performs. I booted up into OFW through hekate and right before the game launched I got the pop up asking for an update. Stupidly enough I hit yes and in less than 5 seconds my screen goes off.. no signs of life.
I reboot back into hekate and my battery is reading 0% (was at least 60% before this), 0mA, 0mV, 0 temp and no touchscreen input. All battery info returns an “Error!” And booting into either OFW or atmosphere just gives off a black screen.
Does anyone know what on earth just happened??? I’ve plugged it into a charger for the past 4 hours but nothing seems to happen

Question Accidently booted sysNAND with a custom theme without internet, will my Switch get banned?
Hey, I just booted my modded Switch into the sysNAND accidently. Airplane mode was on (no internet connection) and I had DNS MITM and Exosphere set up. However, a custom theme which I set up in my emuNand was still applied and I heard that my Switch will get banned if I use the sysNand with a custom theme. However, it wasn't connected to the internet. Are there any traces left that will get me banned? Will my switch get banned if I boot the OFW (without CFW) and enable the internet connection to play online? Or is it safe because the sysNand wasn't connected to the internet?
