Here is a list of frequently asked questions and, obviously, an answer to each of them. What you want may already be listed on the official Lakka FAQ so check it out aswell.

Replace ppsspp with ppsspp-sdl in the code for the SDL version. Uninstall: To remove the PPA, either go to Software & Updates - Other Software or run command: sudo add-apt-repository -remove ppa:ppsspp/stable. To remove PPSSPP, either use your system package manager or run command: sudo apt-get remove -autoremove ppsspp ppsspp-sdl ppsspp-common. Downloading PPSSPP. Video: Speed Up PPSSPP If you have problems with any of the steps in this article, please ask a question for more help, or post in the comments section below.

  • We both have the latest version. However, for some reason, we cannot get his ppsspp to play multiplayer. Whenever he enters networking mode, it crashes right after he presses ok at the ad-hoc screen (he gets a black screen, and it eventually just crashes). He is on mac OSX. Everything seems to work perfectly fine on my end (im on windows 7).
  • If you want instant gratification, quick saves are the instant saving you want. Capturing a quick save: To capture a quick save go to File Quick save and choose a slot, as shown here. MGBA lets you save up to 9 different quick saves (9 different slots).The keyboard shortcut for saving a quick save in slot 1 is Shift+F1.; Loading a quick save: To load a quick save that you.

How stable and safe is Linux to use ?

The battery bug has been fixed as of the 02/07/2018 update. Be sure to apply the fix from Hekate 3.0 first !

The known side-effects of using Linux on your Switch are :

  • RTC (Real-Time Clock) desynchronization - this will break the date and time in Horizon. To fix that, just stay online in Horizon or reset the time manually after each time you run Lakka.
  • Possible unsafe SD Card unmounting ; your PC will ask for a repair (or mount the SD Card read only), do it if you want. If REC files appear on the root of the card, it means that some files were corrupted. Avoid force shutting down the system (always go back to RCM first) to prevent that from happening.

Will it brick my Switch ? Will it replace the official operating system ?

Notepad for Mac is a note-taking app for Mac OS X. A trial version is available from several download sites, while the full licensed version of Notepad for Mac will cost you $20. Notepad for Mac.

No. Lakka boots from the SD card, it never touches the NAND of the console. It's a 'dual boot', if you prefer.

What currently works ? What doesn't ?

How do I enable Vulkan ?

Go to Settings > User Interface and enable Advanced Settings. Now, go back to the top of the Settings list and go to Drivers. Here, you can change the video driver from gl (OpenGL) to vulkan, or the opposite. Then, restart RetroArch for the change to take effect.

Warning: Do NOT set any of the drivers to null before restarting RetroArch! If you do so, you will need to edit the config file manually to fix it.

Which cores support Vulkan?

  • All 2D / software rendered cores (PCSX ReARMed counts as software rendered)
  • Beetle PSX HW
  • Dolphin

Please go back to OpenGL for any core that's not in this list.

How do I change my Wi-Fi MAC Address ?

The MAC Address should be written in the chip in the factory, but for some reason Nintendo didn't do that. As a result, the MAC Address is software controlled, which means that Horizon has to manually set the address… and Lakka too. As we cannot pull the Horizon MAC from the NAND for now, Lakka uses a random address and writes it to /storage/.config/macaddress. If you want to use the same address as Horizon, you can by editing this file and rebooting.

Where can I see the IP address of the Switch on my network ?

From your Switch, you can see this in the first tab, Information > Network Information. From your host PC, various methods are listed there.

How do I add games to the system ?

You need to copy your games to the lakka/storage/roms/downloads directory on your SD card.

Once your games are copied, go to the tab which icon is a plus sign (on Lakka, on the Switch) and scan the directory where you added your game (you can just scan the top-level directory, it will go through everything recursively). If your games were recognized, new tabs will appear (one for each console) with them listed inside. If not, you can still load the game manually from the first tab.

How do I setup Bluetooth audio ?

Please note that Bluetooth is currently broken. Do not bother trying this as it will not work.

  1. Enable Bluetooth in Services
  2. Pair your headset using SSH : (use Putty on Windows, credentials are root and root)
    1. bluetoothctl
    2. agent on
    3. scan on
    4. Wait for your headset to show up and see its MAC address
    5. pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, put the correct MAC address (protip : use tab-completion)
    6. trust XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
    7. connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
  3. If the audio is choppy, make sure to update the boot/tegra210-nintendo-switch.dtb file on your SD card (take the one from the latest update archive). If it doesn't work at all, make sure that Audio driver is set to pulse and Audio and Audio sync are enabled.

How do I setup AirPlay audio ? (thanks to @rd for this guide)

Open SSH and run the command pactl load-module module-raop-discover. This will discover all AirPlay receivers on your network and add them as PulseAudio sinks. Then, use pactl to select the sink corresponding to the desired receiver. You can also use the module module-raop-sink to directly connect to the right receiver, given its IP (see full command below).

You can use your Android device as an AirPlay receiver by using the AirBubble app.

If you want to use your Android device's own hotspot with AirPlay, you will need to use this command :

pactl load-module module-raop-sink server=[192.168.43.1]:5000 protocol=UDP encryption=RSA codec=ALAC channels=2 format=16 rate=44100 latency_msec=2000

Where 192.168.43.1 is the IP of your Android device. You shouldn't need to change this, as all Android devices have the same local IP on their own hotspot : 192.168.43.1. Should it not be valid, use ip route on Lakka : the default gateway IP will be the one to use (assuming you're connected to your hotspot).

My Switch doesn't turn on anymore / won't turn on unless it's docked / it's bricked

Don't worry, your Switch is not bricked. You most probably left it in RCM mode for a prolonged period and it ran out of battery. Plus, the calibration may be wrong.

First, hold the POWER button for twelve seconds to make sure that the Switch if off, then place it on the dock and wait for it to charge at 100%. Don't forget that the battery is decalibrated !

I don't have any icons, the font is ugly and nothing works

Your RetroArch configuration file somehow got corrupted. Delete the lakka/storage/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg file on your SD card and try again. If doing it over SSH, don't forget to stop RetroArch first : systemctl stop retroarch && rm -f /storage/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg && systemctl start retroarch.

Next time you power off your Switch from Lakka, remember to reboot to RCM first !

My games are always freezing

Enable Advanced settings in User Interface then disable Threaded Video in Video settings. It may enable itself again in the future so be careful.

I have a black screen when trying to boot (hekate works)

It happens sometimes : it boots but the LCD stays black. When it happens, wait a bit for RetroArch to launch (to prevent corrupting the configuration file) and force shutdown by holding the POWER button for twelve seconds. Try to boot again. If it still happens, reboot to Horizon before trying again.

Sometimes however it will not boot at all, giving a black screen everytime you try. This is a know issue, and there is currently no known solution.

How can I get boot logs?

Lakka can use USB as serial output to gather boot and shutdown logs from your PC. This only works if the backlight is on (if your copy of Lakka crashes before turning the backlight on, don't bother trying).

  1. On your SD card, go to /lakka/boot, remove boot.scr and rename boot_usb.scr to boot.scr.
  2. Boot Lakka
  3. Plug the Switch to your PC (using an USB-C cable)
  4. If you're using Windows, go to the device manager and check the COM port corresponding to the Switch (warning: it will change it you change the USB port you plug the cable into)
  5. You can now use PuTTY (or similar) to get the logs on the COM port you got in the previous step

Now to gather boot logs:

Quickest and working tutorial on how to get ppsspp for mac os
  1. Boot hekate
  2. Plug the Switch to your PC
  3. Open PuTTY, don't open the COM port yet
  4. Boot Lakka
  5. As soon as the Switch is connected to your PC (Windows will chime), open the COM port in PuTTY (chad Linux can use a udev rule to open a terminal automatically instead)
  6. You will drop a few early boot messages but most useful stuff will be there (late kernel boot + systemd userland logs).

Do my Joy-Cons charge when using Lakka ?

Short answer : no. Long answer : while the driver is currently not capable of charging Joy-Cons, this is a feature that's being worked on.

How do I overclock or underclock the GPU ? What is the GPU profile setting in the first tab ?

This setting allows you to underclock or overclock the GPU of the Switch. At each reboot, the non-docked profile is applied.

While underclocking the GPU can allow the battery to drain slower, be aware that higher profiles may cause power failures when the Switch is not docked. Plus, the Switch was not made to exceed the docked profile : use at your own risk.

John the Ripper (JtR) is one of the hacking tools the Varonis IR Team used in the first Live Cyber Attack demo, and one of the most popular password cracking programs out there. In this blog post, we are going to dive into John the Ripper, show you how it works, and explain why it's important.

Notes about hacking: Hacking is a pursuit of knowledge about systems, design, and humans. In this case, we are talking about software and operating systems.

Hacking is not necessarily criminal, although it can be a tool used for bad intentions. We advocate for ethical hacking. Stay in the light side of the Force.

How Does John the Ripper Work?

Quickest And Working Tutorial On How To Get Ppsspp For Mac 2017

JtR supports several common encryption technologies out-of-the-box for UNIX and Windows-based systems. (ed. Mac is UNIX based). JtR autodetects the encryption on the hashed data and compares it against a large plain-text file that contains popular passwords, hashing each password, and then stopping it when it finds a match. Simple.

Map store nc. In our amazing Live Cyber Attack demo, the Varonis IR team demonstrates how to steal a hashed password, use JtR to find the true password, and use it to log into an administrative account. That is a very common use case for JtR!

JtR also includes its own wordlists of common passwords for 20+ languages. These wordlists provide JtR with thousands of possible passwords from which it can generate the corresponding hash values to make a high-value guess of the target password. Since most people choose easy-to-remember passwords, JtR is often very effective even with its out-of-the-box wordlists of passwords.

JtR is included in the pentesting versions of Kali Linux.

What is John the Ripper Used for?

JtR is primarily a password cracker used during pentesting exercises that can help IT staff spot weak passwords and poor password policies.

Here is the list of encryption technologies found in JtR:

  • UNIX crypt(3)
  • Traditional DES-based
  • 'bigcrypt'
  • BSDI extended DES-based
  • FreeBSD MD5-based (linux and Cisco IOS)
  • OpenBSD Blowfish-based
  • Kerberos/AFS
  • Windows LM (DES-based)
  • DES-based tripcodes
  • SHA-crypt hashes (newer versions of Fedora and Ubuntu)
  • SHA-crypt and SUNMD5 hashes (Solaris)

That's the 'official' list. JtR is open-source, so if your encryption of choice isn't on the list do some digging. Someone might have already written an extension for it.

How to Download John the Ripper

JtR is an open-source project, so you can either download and compile the source on your own, download the executable binaries, or find it as part of a penetration testing package.

The official website for John the Ripper is on Openwall. You can grab the source code and binaries there, and you can join the GitHub to contribute to the project.

JtR is available on Kali Linux as part of their password cracking metapackages.

Tutorials for Using John the Ripper

We are going to go over several of the basic commands that you need to know to start using John the Ripper. To get started all you need is a file that contains a hash value to decrypt.

If you ever need to see a list of commands in JtR, run this command:

Cracking Passwords

John the Ripper's primary modes to crack passwords are single crack mode, wordlist mode, and incremental. The single crack mode is the fastest and best mode if you have a full password file to crack. Wordlist mode compares the hash to a known list of potential password matches. Incremental mode is the most powerful and possibly won't complete. This is your classic brute force mode that tries every possible character combination until you have a possible result.

The easiest way to try cracking a password is to let JtR go through a series of common cracking modes. This command below tells JtR to try 'simple' mode, then the default wordlists containing likely passwords, and then 'incremental' mode.

You can also download different wordlists from the Internet, and you can create your own new wordlists for JtR to use with the –wordlist parameter.

If you want to specify a cracking mode use the exact parameter for the mode.

Word Mangling Rules

Mangling is a preprocessor in JtR that optimizes the wordlist to make the cracking process faster. Use the –rules parameter to set the mangling rules.

Viewing Your Output

When you want to see the list of passwords that you have cracked, use the –show parameter.

If your cracked password list is long, you can filter the list with additional parameters. You can also redirect the output using basic redirection in your shell. For example, if you want to see if you cracked any root users (UID=0) use the –users parameter. Rome total war mac download.

Or if you want to show users from privileged groups use –groups.

Below is the JtR command from our Live Cyber Attack Webinar. In this scenario, our hacker used kerberoast to steal a Kerberos ticket granting ticket(TGT) containing the hash to be cracked, which was saved in a file called ticket.txt. In our case, the wordlist used is the classic rockyou password file from Kali Linux, and the command was set to report progress every 3 seconds.
