Any chance of seeing those Fallout 1CE/2 CE ports on Switch?

I didn't even think about that! I mean, sure I could wire my pc to my tv... but I mean, having it all on the Switch would be dope
Bump, in case any devs have caught the Fallout bug and feel like giving it a go.
It looks like it just needs SDL2. It's already got SCUMMVM-style touchscreen-as-trackpad mouse movement support for the mobile ports.

Would love this. I've never played 1/2/Tactics before. Always on my perpetual backlog
Shocked.
They're truly VGM masterpieces. Try them ASAP.
Not sure about community edition but Fallout 1 has already been ported to the switch. You can find it on places I can not name here.
Thanks for the info! It's available on the "2u" site (can't give full name here), it's the original version set up to run in dosbox via retroarch, with the controls all set up and an nsp forwarder by the looks of it. Haven't tested yet but should be a reasonable way to run it on Switch if nobody ports the CE.
So I tried running Fallout 1 in dosbox-svn, and the performance didn't feel great tbh, not too smooth.
What I've got now is fallout1-ce built for Switch Linux, I fixed a bug for duplicated cursor movements with the touchscreen, it's still a bit funny about registering a click when you start a movement on the touchscreen but it seems playable, only with touchscreen for mouse movements so far, controller support would be more work. Or you can use an actual mouse if it's connected and working on your Switch before you run the game.
If you're running Linux on your Switch, you can copy the files from a Windows version of Fallout 1 into a directory on your Switch, then put these files in the same directory and run fallout-ce. I've included config files for the screen resolution and the right file paths, tho you can edit the paths in fallout.cfg if they don't match your version of the game, and you can set subtitles=0 if you don't want subs on the videos (they were off by default, I turned them on).

Update on my brother: He's home now, tired and hungry, obviously, but other than that, seems to be doing fine.+2 -

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
