Homebrew RELEASE Ren'Py port to Nintendo Switch

[uyjulian]

The project is now archived.

Since Switchroot Android has gotten a lot better over the past couple of months, please use it with the official Android port of Ren'Py instead.

Spoiler

This is a port of Ren'Py, a visual novel game engine, to the Nintendo Switch for homebrew purposes. If you are looking for a commercial port, contact Ratalaika Games.

The main discussion forum for this port is on the Lemma Soft Forums: https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=55503

Downloads of this port can be found at
https://github.com/uyjulian/renpy-switch/releases

For users wanting to take a sample of the functionality of Ren'Py, place "renpy-switch-the-question-vXXX.nro" in the "switch" folder of your SD card.

For game authors wanting to port to the Nintendo Switch, use the "renpy-switch-sdk-vXXX.7z" package. Read "README.html" for instructions on how to port your project.

Katawa Shoujo switch version? It's more likely than you think.

Well) I tried to launch it and it's playable through story, but have very many errors which do not allow to enter the settings.

Just so you all know
This isn't a game
Its a game engine for making games in
A framework

What is the error?

What is the error?

I believe that these errors are because of old version of Ren'py on which game was built.

Ah, it may be that I haven't fixed MultiPersistent yet. It will be fixed in the next release.

We also checked some games like: Sunrider Academy, Sound of Drop, Sakura Spirit.
All of them crashes at some moments.

Is there an option for a not fixed save data patch?

I'm not really sure why the error is occurring.

If you have newest atmosphere, you should get crash report in atmosphere folder and error number. Maybe something there will give a hint.
