I’ve got him set as “young child” but it will still allow me to open metro 2033 under his account. 


and also, he can just select me as the user (without password protection) and open anything anyway…

You have to put restrictions on your own account too.

Having a bit of a nightmare with replacing my SD card in the Switch.

 

Had a 128gb one and want to replace with a 512.

I copied the contents of the 128 onto my Mac.

Put the 512 in the Switch to format it.

Put 512 in my Mac.

Dragged contents of 128 onto it.

Insert in Switch.

Switch asys SD card can't be read.

Format 512.

Can then be read (although obviously is empty)

 

Have tried different variations where I just copy certain things across.

For example , the "save" folder on the 512 had 2 files created when it was formatted so instead of replacing those with the ones of the same name I kept them.

The 'best' result I had was that the card was readable but all the games that were meant to be on the card were saying they needed to be downloaded. 

Another time I insterted the card and the Switch said some data was correupted and would need to be deleted. It deleted the contents of the "registered" folder where it seems the games are kept.

 

Anyone have any advice?

Only Splatoon 2&3, Animal Crossing and Smash Bros on there for me.

I think the problem is/was the way Mac OS writes the data to the card. Thankfully the Terminal advice on @SMD’s link fixed it.

 

 

It is, but isn't affected if you copy from one to another direct. That's what I've been doing.

Oh I see. I didn't have a USB card reader to hand so just had to use the built-in slot. Although if I could've found my USB reader I would've just used the PC in the house and avoid the Mac altogether for it.

 

Good to know for future so thank you.

I’ve only ever watched my mate play it, but isn’t that the kind of game which would demand absolutely frame-perfect emulation?

I’m not good enough at Tetris to know about such high level play. To my eyes, it plays well enough and it’s a fun - it sits firmly between classic Tetris and modern “guideline” Tetris.

 

The biggest issues with it were licensing and political, not really technical. The Tetris Company were very rigid on only releasing “guideline” games for a long time (i.e. mandating narrow rules on how the game plays, such as piece swap, piece colours, piece ghosts, how rotation works etc) along with giving publishers exclusivity in the West. This meant a game like TGM, which was Japan-only and pre-guideline, was stuck firmly in rights hell, especially combined with the decline of the Japanese console game market. The developers, Arika, were also reported unhappy with emulation as, rightly or wrongly, they believe it killed the series.

 

Edit: Have had two hard locks though!

What are the good Switch docks that won’t brick my launch switch?

 

Daughter got a bedroom telly for her birthday, and I want to get her a switch dock for Xmas, though an official one on Amazon looks to be £120, which is too steep. Thanks!

While not an actual dock this is meant to be good and is very portable should your daughter bring her switch elsewhere.

Tetris: TGM is the most addictive single-player version of Tetris I’ve ever played - the levelling system and grading system really add to the “one more go” feeling. I’m still not very good at it, mind (can’t get past S2).

Thanks, that does look good, but I worry about getting anything sent from overseas at this point in the month in time for Xmas, plus she’s quite clumsy so I’d prefer an actual dock, rather than her messing with too many wires 🙂

They sell them on Amazon :)

 

I think it looks great too, actually! Looks to be a perfect solution to quickly connect my Switch/Steam Deck/iPad to my TV in the lounge, as I have the docks for them setup elsewhere.
