Homebrew WIP GZDoom for Switch

[fgsfds]

This runs on any current CFW, as do most homebrews that are posted in this section. So yes.

Hey guys, new to switch modding stuff, in fact I haven't done it yet. This is some amazing work here. Kudos.

Just wondering if I get an xecuter sx pro, will that get me the correct cfw to do this? Super excited at the prospect of proper doom on the go.

All of the CFW that can run Homebrew will work, theoretically. I highly recommend Atmosphere as it's open-source, free, and works very well.

TX OS is free if you just want homebrew. You only need to pay for the license to access pirating switch games.

does it work only on fat32? cause it just close with a software error for me

 

[fgsfds]

Check for error.log in the gzdoom folder, though it's probably not there.
Might also be that you somehow installed it incorrectly.

FATAL ERROR:
No IWAD definitions found
i have all the wads tho ...

and path in the ini are ok... so idk ..

 

[fgsfds]

Sounds like your gzdoom.pk3 is corrupted or not there at all or something. Try copying everything over again.

 

[1NOOB]

hmmm really weird , now i get an error without a log but everything is there and i dont see why they would be corrupted

edit: i got doom 2 normal to launch with the gzdoom.nro but the launcher just fail

 

[fgsfds]

Where did you put everything? The layout should look like this
switch/
--gzdoom_launcher.nro
--gzdoom/
----iwads/
------doom2.wad
----pwads/
----...
----gzdoom.nro

Thanks guys. Yeah I don't have any interest in pirating switch titles. Just like the idea of having access to old games on the go and if I can eliminate my 3ds and phone from that I'd be thrilled.

It's literally this same issue https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=57781&p=1024491
But I don't really understand why, since I gave you builds with disabled unsafe math optimizations. It also should happen to everyone else, since the hardware is the same and everyone has the same NRO.

Updated from 3.02 to 6.20 and its fixed.

I don't know why. Maybe there were kernel changes in Horizon that affects how math operations are performed in gzdoom engine? I dunno.

Hopefully my case was an isolated case. But if anybody else can confirm if my bug exists or not on 3.02 or lower firmware that would be appreciated. Just so fgsfds can add it to his buglist if required.

Its exactly like that. Wich is why i dont get it xD. I can launch doom2 through gzdoom.nro but not the launcher and cant have a list or choice of wad

which version of brutal doom are people using because it's not working for me :/

when using call of doom with brutal doom bundled in that works

I don't know then. The launcher is a simple SDL2 thing, there's no reason it shouldn't work.

The latest version of BD from ModDB should work fine.

I encountered a bug with saving. On E2M2 i tried to save the game, but after typying the name of the savegame, the game softlocked and I couldnt close it through Horizon. I had to reboot the console.
It can be irritating when someone is playing a long map.
EDIT: It is also worth noting that I was playing on SmoothDoom spritepack

 

[fgsfds]

That's kinda weird. Are you sure it softlocked and you didn't just forget to press A? What firmware/cfw are you on?

6.20, ReiNX
No, I tried to press every single button on joycons, no response, when I loaded the game again, safe function worked, after putting a name on a savegame, it is highlighted with red color, but when softlock occured, i pressed A, then I had to type the name, and then I couldnt press anything, there was no response.

Ok
For those who want BD to run a bit better here's my config.. it still hitches now and then especially on a lot of action but is a lot better.

You should only need to change it to your name and anything elts you want hehe.
Let me know if it helps.

Is there a way to just have the launcher nro? so you don't have to have the standalone nro and the selector nro show up
