I moved from 256 to 1tb.

First I used an usb-c adapter for the new ssd, this allowed me to copy all the files over from the existing disk using desktop mode and some terminal commands. Even the hidden files etc. After proper formatting and prepping the new disk.

Then I just replaced the old with the 1tb. Everything was the same: no loss of anything. The full 1tb was usable as well.

I followed a tut online just for the commands. If you don’t find it: shoot! I will digg in my history :)

Haha indeed!

It’s funny when it starts to just invent things. Like packages, with version number!, that… do not exists…

Or when it outputs code without using the variables …

The most annoying thing is imho that it keeps explaining everything al the time. Even when I prompt “you have a working app with vuejs…” and others it sometimes still explains how to setup the app.

That said: the tool has become a staple in my workflow whenever I need a starting point. Or have to do some math algorithmic things

Finally had some time to do this and it is somewhat “easy” … but it depends. For me finding the TOTK rom was the hardest, only because I was to lazy to take it from my switch. I have bought a physical copy, it’s the booting to the tools that is just nerve rekking for me.

The Egg Ns Sim… site is your friend BUT I did already have a fully working Emudeck install with my own Switch private keys and other things. I have a first gen one, but even so I had to 3d print a thing to short circuit some pins and patiently trying to get it into the special boot modus. I followed some guides on the net, don’t remember exactly which one… only that it was extremely frustrating getting the thing booting correctly. Thinking now I think it was the a guide in the docs of Yuzu I followed.

In the end: it’s worth it. TOTK runs very smooth for me, even if I want to keep it at 1.0.0 (easy dupe glitch!!) for now with only the 60fps static mod (search gbatemp.net 5.0 post). That said I’m back at the sky tutorial level. it has some issues with fused weapons but overall I get the feeling the game is faster and runs better on the deck. Especially the loading times.

If only Nintendo came to reality and released ports for other machines. I actually would have bought it in a heartbeat. Even twice.

Finally had some time to do this and you’re totally right: in the end it was fairly easy to do. even with motion controls.

Should have been clearer: traveling would be an added bonus. I don’t travel a lot. Although this might be a good solution: if their is a dock that is small for the switch that does work for al my other devices :)) but like you said the power delivery is often the issue then.

I sometimes feel like sure with usb-c we have a single connector but it’s all more complicated than now even before we had usb. We had multiple connectors then but not “oh that cable/psu does have the good connector but not the watt or density for fast charging/data or whatever”

That said: al the different micro usb connectors and usb3 connectors was a nightmare as wel. Af least that is solved now I guess.

Damnit. Ugh. :( I thought I read that somewhere.

Man I love Nintendo, bought almost all consoles over the years but their strange overly protective platform guarding makes zero sense. Especially in 2023. It’s even worse than Apple imho.

Yeah I know, but I like the motion controls.

And frankly the exclusives is the only thing I play on my Switch anymore. It’s just easier. Especially given I do not have much time anymore to tinker with things like when I was 20y ago. 😉

But… it is on my todo - someday - list for sure!
