Bounty for NVDEC support in libnx
I have started a bounty for NVDEC support in libnx.The GitHub issue is here: https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx/issues/580The bounty is here: https://app.bountysource.com/issues/116504826-question-video-hw-decoderNVDEC support would allow for hardware accelerated video decoding. That can make things like NXMP and Moonlight run substantially better in HOS.If you would like to see support added, and have a few bucks to spare, please consider joining the bounty.

Let's Get Ready to Rumble!!! Play Switch games using your OG N64 controller + Rumble Pak or Gamecube Controller.
I'm back with a couple of updates to my project that uses a Raspberry Pi Pico ($4 microcontroller) to allow you to play Nintendo Switch games using an OG N64 or Gamecube controller over USB or Bluetooth.A common question I'd get is whether this project supported rumble. Due to the complexities of responding to requests from the Switch, it didn't - until now! After I added Bluetooth in the last update, I finally felt well-equipped enough to tackle controller rumble. Gamecube controllers natively have rumble, and I decided to pick up an N64 controller Rumble Pak to get rumble working on both controllers.Unfortunately, the Switch sends 4 different 'types' of rumble commands for HD rumble and these controllers really only support on/off rumble. There may be some (very few that I've found) instances where a Pro Controller rumbles and your N64/Gamecube controller won't. I tested rumble in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the NSO N64 app and it worked well. I also tested it in Snipperclips and it worked very well.Another smaller update - the code now auto-detects whether the plugged in controller is an N64 or a Gamecube controller. You only have to power cycle the Pico when you switch between the two and it should work without reprogramming!Give it a try and let me know if you have any other questions or feedback!https://github.com/DavidPagels/retro-pico-switch

Need help with Nintendo Switch Thermal Paste / Cooling Solutions.
I've been planning to re-paste thermal paste for my V2 switch (2019).It doesn't get seriously hot, but there is definitely an increase in heat fan noise and heat overall. Plus I think it needs little bit of cleaning and servicing! I have serveral years of experience with PC parts and larger consoles, but this is the first time I'm taking apart something small and delicate as the switch.Im planning to do the following to improve the thermal performance of this device, please let me know if I've planned something wrong or anyway I can improve these.Remove the metal CPU shield cover shim (or whatever thats called) and re-apply thermal paste there (Noctua NT-H1, surface will be cleaned with Arctic Clean Kit + 70% alcohol wipes).Put thermal pad on memory modules (options below)2.a - Put a 0.5mm thermal pad in between the shim and the memory module2.b - Put only on top of the shim not inside it (but I feel like there is not enough contact between the modules and the shim2.c - do both above.Then reapply the paste between shim and heat-pipeThen between the pipe and the shield plateI also wanted to know If I can replace the foam pieces on heat-sink with standard duct-tape -----or----- some thermal pads? (Thermal pads on heat-pipe will be a bad idea when it comes to heat dissipation) - I have a feeling they are tightly glued and may tear when removing the heat-sink, just being ready.I need help with steps 2 and 5 mainly here, what should I do?

UPDATE: In less than 24 hours, /r/SwitchHacks will be going private indefinitely.
Hello everyone,Like many other subreddits, we want to update our community on our intentions to make /r/SwitchHacks private within the next 24 hours. This post is an edited x-post used by several subs in protest of the recent changes to Reddit and the CEO's repeated libeling and lies of and towards third party app developers like Apollo's developer.This was not an easy decision to make, given a variety of factors, but it's one we feel comfortable making. Anything posted before tomorrow, June 12th, will be the final front page of our community before we privatize the subreddit entirely. In the (somewhat unlikely) scenario that Reddit's leadership has a change of direction that sees the reversal the recent API policy change, we will reopen the subreddit, but until this happens, /r/SwitchHacks will be unavailable for use in any capacity whatsoever. Many other subreddits are doing the same, and we stand with them. Please see /r/ModCoord and these extremely informative posts by the moderators of /r/AskHistorians and /r/videos: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/142w159/askhistorians_and_uncertainty_surrounding_the/https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/145vns0/the_future_of_rvideos/FAQ:Q: What does making /r/SwitchHacks private mean, in this case?A: Taking /r/SwitchHacks private means that no-one, except moderators and approved submitters, can see the subreddit's front page. When attempting to access the subreddit, you will be met with a blank screen stating
