Homebrew Silent Hill Decompilation NX - Switch port

[mathew77]

Silent Hill Decompilation NX - Switch port, made by ChaykaDed, based on decompiled code from Vatuu's Silent Hill Decompilation Project and a PC port from SlickAmogus KushAstronaut using LLM Anthropic Claude on the Psycross Psy-Q SDK, with OpenGL ES3.0.

Info by its author:

First public release of the Nintendo Switch port.
Working:

• Gameplay
• Controls
• In-game rendering
• FMV cutscenes with audio
• Original PS1 boot intro before game startup

Built with devkitPro, libnx and native OpenGL ES 3.0.

One need an US v1.1 ROM named Silent Hill (USA).bin with MD5:

B52500EEA7D7D04A6A81B0EFE88955E1

Put it into /switch/gamedata/ folder, and SilentHillPC.nro into /switch/ folder. Saves will be stored as /switch/gamedata/save/*.MCD files.

And voila!.. Some screenshots from Nintendo Switch:

• Harry stops abruptly on invisible walls while sprinting
• Placeholder aiming shim — real aiming/camera-follow not yet wired in
• Combat runs too fast at high FPS
• Enemy AI needs a rework (some jerk through the floor during combat)
• Cutscene corruption, texture issues, and stray stretched vertices
• Missing/corrupted graphics in the options menu
• Linux / Steam Deck visuals broken (red tint)
• PAL text and languages not working
• There's also a long tail of ending/Nowhere, per-cutscene, and miscellaneous issues.

Thank you got this up and running.

It's not modded for true widescreen, and having everything stretched wide looks bad. That should be a high priority fix.

Awesome! Does the rumble work (I have currently only a Switch Lite to test)?

Now we just need one of those VHS / scanline filters that Silent Hill-inspired horror indie games use...
