Homebrew WIP dhewm3-nx - a Doom 3 port

[fgsfds]

Just play tested. Pretty impressed for such a quick port. I dont know if its a sx os issue but it took almost 10 minutes to load the first level lol. Performance was exactly what you stated. Its not perfect but is an EXCELLENT start for a one man squad port! Kudos again for bringing these classics to the scene.

Yeah, it takes one-two minutes tops on my Switch, shouldn't be 10 minutes. SD cards have varying speeds, so might just be that.

oh yes thank you

where i can get the hbmenu as nsp ?

However keep in mind that this will still count as an illegitimate install by Nintendo, so if you go online with this installed you're bound to receive a ban eventually, if not immediately.

And also, hbmenu.nsp usually doesn't work on sxos, maybe you would have to install and run it on reinx, thatth my case at least.

Same here.

Nice work @fgsfds!

I don't actually know what could cause this. The "power off" effect you're experiencing might be a GPU crash (assuming you have AutoRCM enabled).
Do the Quake 1 and 2 ports work for you? You could also create an issue on Github for both ioquake3nx and dhewm3nx so others could report there if they have the same problem.

"power off" I mean its the black screen with the error to power off the system in case you thought somthing elts..

Ok thats a negative for AutoRCM I do not use it..
Quake 1, 2 and Quakespasm ports all work perfect..
I dont use Themes and never have..
Iv never used Layered fs for anything..
I dont use sys-ftpd..
I will check to see if fs_mitm is on and disable it./

This is a bit of a no-brainer but disabling all options in Advanced Settings as well as switching to Low Quality helps increase framerate a tad and to reduce (but not eliminate) the pauses that can occur when an enemy hits you.

Porting Xash3D (basically Half-Life 1) is on my todo list, but it more or less requires a dynamic linker. I have statically linked it for Vita before, but that was not a fun thing to do.
Half-Life 2 is pretty much impossible to port because we have no up to date source code for the Source engine.

niiiice hahah i was wondering if the switch can do open gl can it do android os emulation like nox or bluestacks if not what about porting an ue4 engine mobile game to switch jw thats all.

omg i forgot about this could this be ported Goldeneye source??

i was also looking at libgdx

As a rule, the source code has to be public for a port to be possible. This would rule out games that use the Source engine such as Goldeneye Source, or Unreal Engine games.

Thank you mate

So wait this is jot source code?

That seems to be the GE:S files, but not the Source engine itself.

Source is definitely not open-source (ironic ).

The HL1 engine, GoldSrc, has an open-source version called Xash3D which got ported to Vita, Android and some other systems.

Hopefully Half Life is next on the list! Having a 60 fps switch version in my pocket would be a god send.

Legal NSP redirector if you want this on your homescreen. How it looks:

Where to place the nro file:
/switch/dhewm3/dhewm3nx.nro

 

[Knucklesfan]

Works fantastic! I'm not experiencing very slow run times. If I can recommend a next game to port, please port supertux 0.5.1 (latest), i'd love to see it on the switch and it runs great under switch linux.

EXCELLENT WORK.

2 questions: Does saving work? I tried to save and the game crashed, wondered if that's just me though. Also, If I can make a request...can you try to port OpenJK? It looks like it'd be an easy one and would be AMAZING.

Regardless, this is amazing work. Thank you for it!

 

[sj33]

It does save, it just takes a long time. 3 minutes maybe.

Oh ok. I probably just assumed it froze. Thanks for confirming. Didn’t want to play too much and find out it doesn’t save lol.

 

[sj33]

It actually does sometimes crash while saving so save regularly and make multiple saves. It can take up to 5 minutes however.

It never takes that long to save for me. Minute or two tops. Probably depends on the SD card.
I would port OpenJK, but it seems that I would need a dynamic linker for that as well.

Would porting SuperTuxKart be feasible?

Ah. I didn’t realize that.

How do you save? When I go the save screen, I have to put in a name for the savegame, but I cannot find a button that inputs a letter.
