⠀Detecting the Capture Card

Open a terminal in the /Modules/ folder and run the following command:

python3 Game_Capture.py

Select the "Print all available video devices" option. You should obtain at least one OK. If not, your capture card is not connected properly, please read VM Setup Guide.

If you obtained more than one OK, you can check what capture card is being used by running the previous command again and selecting the "Check current capture device" option.

⠀Verify the User Interface

Open a terminal in the /Modules/ folder and run the following command:

python3 GUI.py

Select any "Open GUI using capture card" or "Open GUI using a template image" options. In both cases, you should see the main program user interface.

⠀Initialize the Database

Open a terminal in the /Modules/ folder and run the following command:

python3 Database.py

Select the "Print database" option. It should print an empty database, which will automatically store all the encounters and data related to your game. For example, how many Pokémon have you encountered, the total time running the program or the shiny count. You can check it whenever you want, as it may be interesting to you.

⠀Controlling the Nintendo Switch

IMPORTANT: When using the Bluetooth system in the VM, Bluetooth may not work as expected on your Windows/MacOS computer.

On the Nintendo Switch home screen, go to "Controllers" > "Change Grip/Order Menu". Plug in both controllers to the Nintendo Switch and if not, make sure they're not connected via Bluetooth. (See steps here).

Open a terminal in the /Modules/ folder and run the following command:

python3 Switch_Controller.py

Select the "Test Switch Controller" option. It should appear a pairing request, which you will have to accept. It may ask you for the root password too.

After accepting it, the program should run a testing macro, which will go to the home menu and return to the pairing screen. It may not be working at the beginning, try restarting the whole computer (not just the Virtual Machine) and Bluetooth systems. If you are not able to connect your computer to the Nintendo, please, report it to NXBT.

Save the Virtual Machine's State

If everything worked correctly, I highly recommend saving the state of the machine so you can recover it from this point in case it is messed up.

Power off the VM. Open Oracle VM VirtualBox, select your VM, click the 3 dots next to its name and select "Snapshots".

Now, click on "Take a Snapshot", write a name and save it.

From now on, you can restore the Virtual Machine to this exact point by right-clicking the snapshot and selecting "Restore".
