Honestly no idea what you're talking about

LE doesn't mind if Lakka things are discussed occasionally, but LE has zero Switch support (and isn't looking to change that) so it's not really on-topic for here. Perhaps better to discuss in Lakka/Retroarch forums?

This isnt lakka, lakka is based on libreelec tree. Basically libreelec with lakka changes dumped on top. I ported switch stuff to lakka. But since libreelec is also still in the tree, firing the build is literally changing the DISTRO variable. The real question I have is why a perfectly working build candidate for a commonly owned platform isn't something you would want to support? That is the part I don't understand? The work is basically done already, and would help other distro devs that base their work off of your trees to easily add support to their builds as well.

I know that the devs had issues with the way I did stuff in lakka tree. I was hoping that a working proof of concept build my help. Please respond with a list of code fixes you would like to see, and I will start porting the changes into libreelec clean without lakka specific stuff.

What works:

Pretty much everything I have tested, excepting updater, as I can't add builds to the update path.

What doesn't work:

There was an issue with nvv4l2 decoder with the South Park addon. This addon no longer works at all, so I am not looking to fix at this time, though I do have some ideas why it didn't work, I have no broken path to test the theory, or potential fixes at this time. If and when the addon starts working again, or I get a report of another addon failing in a similar way, I will look into fixing it.

Here is my latest build: https://nightly.builds.lakka.tv/members/gavin/…420-247d2dc.tar

For full feature support enable_upfs = 1 to hekate in file. This enable permissions in storage dir, which is needed for add-ons that try to set permissions on downloaded background executables. Also needed for systemd units in storage dir. System will run without this option, but you might hit permission issues.
