​

This is an unofficial Nintendo Switch port of the Fox Interactive / Rebellion Developments game, Aliens Versus Predator Gold.

Note: Requires the full game (AvP Gold or AvP 2000), both GOG or Steam work.
If you use AvP 2000, go there https://icculus.org/avp/files/etc/ and download english.txt, rename it to language.txt and put it with the assets into the same Folder as the NRO.

A correct setup will look like this:


All folders (but FMVs) must be lower case, also every file in every dir must be lower case.
"+" is Escape, "-" is Enter

Strafing sucks balls so I currently only enabled it for not Alien.
This is the first iteration, expect bugs.

Don't forget to map joycon controls in the options, else you will not be able to do much ingame, also it currently renders in 1080p, so handheld text will look small.

Known bugs:
- Profile sometimes doesn't want to load properly, load another profile, then use the change profile option and it should work
- Exit Game does not work
- Some stuff requires keyboard input (for example gamma control, works via docked or USB OTG), but the game can be played without it! Swkbd support is planned when I find time.

Freaking awesome! Your continued dedication to the Switch scene is just amazing.


I’m sure everyone will join me in saying thank you and I encourage everyone to support your Patreon. You deserve more than you get.

Hell yeah, keep the great work.

all i did was copy everything from the steam install to the AvP_Gold folder from the download here, even the language.txt file i downloaded from he link here i overwrote with the steam install to check it and it works fine apart from bindings.

Hmm thats weird. There are some case sensitive compares, but otherwise fat32 should handle it.
I will check whats appropriate and update the OP when I find time.

I can confirm that the game is playable with literally the vanilla Steam installation, language txt from Steam and no folder/files renames necessary.

Thanks, it works great. This is amazing!

For me, AvP launches but crashes on loading a single player campaign. Any ideas on what could be the issue? I uses GOG files

Hey, man! You're doing fantastic job of porting old games! Is it possible to see in future Morrowind on Switch?

There's an OpenMorrowind on android and other nix platforms, such a dream of porting it to Switch..

Hi gamers,

The port of AvP on Switch is outstanding, just buy it on steam, copy paste on your card, there you go.
The person in charge of it deserves the Nobel prize of retrogaming

But is it possible to invert the Y aiming while playing the marine ?
In game settings don't seem to allow it, maybe I'm not doing it right, maybe there a txt file to edit or maybe I'm just an idiot.


Any suggestions ?

Cheers

Just started this and stuck. I get in the Game, and I am playing as the Alien. It looks like I am in a Pyramid of some type, there are 2 Eggs on my Left, 1 on my Right, and in Front is a Tunnel of some type. There are no Exits........HELP!!!!!!

 

[Cyan]

you have to walk on the walls to find the exit. sorry, that's how much I remember from my play in 1998

I found my old install disc, I'll try with these files (they have different crc, and there are lot less files than the gold version I found on the net). Maybe that ones will work.

 

[Darkewhite5566]

Is there any way to make this work with the 2010 release of AVP.

 

[Rahkeesh]

That is a completely different game so, no, not really.

Hey. The right analog stick does not work for Alien. Marine and Predator work great. Is it possible to fix this?

I made it like that on purpose, you wouldn't like how it ended up being like that... trust me.
Whenever you moved the screen would literally tilt 45° with alien, lol.
It was horrible.

 

[Zed22]

Why is that only with the alien?

 

[m4xw]

Why is that only with the alien?

Because thats how it was coded.
I mean... the game menu doesnt even support mouse input.

 

[Zed22]

A pity, but thanks for the great work. This is awesome!!!!

An implementation of the xbox homebrew version is not possible or? Because the controller should work well. Sorry for my bad english and my questions.

 

[MusicallyInspired]

I can't seem to figure out a way to invert the right stick for looking up and down. Inverting it for mouse, joystick hat, and trackball doesn't change anything. Any ideas? I can't play without flight-style controls lol.

 

[mathew77]

I made it

Dear m4xw, are there any plans of yours to recompile with FW 9.0.1 support?..

 

[mathew77]

trust me

Dear m4xw, still no plans to support FW 9.x.x+..
