Ship of Harkinian - switch port?

[Jambione]

Has anyone tried the switch port of this? Maybe can recommend how to build it?

You need to add a question mark to the head of your topic.

Don't understand why nobody will upload a .nro of this.

You have to compile it yourself? Bruh I ain't setting all that up.

 

[Gaara4]

To my knowledge it is not allowed to upload .nro files, so sorry i can not upload it.

No, it's completely allowed, if it's an open-source software (like a Ship of Harkinian port).

NO you can't upload a NRO of this homebrew because it contains copyrighted material.

That's why you need to compile yourself, because you need to provide a legal obtained original ROM to extract the assets

This would be correct if it was *solely* open-source software. A *compiled*, playable Ship of Harkinian port requires non-open source, copyrighted assets.

The literal .nro file only should actually be fine to share (there's a couple on the discord), as unlike the Mario 64 port, this project was deliberately designed to put the assets from the original game in an external file and keep the executable file clean and legal. You still need to build the data file from the game ROM, and as far as I can tell, currently for the Switch version the tool to do that isn't yet available as a stand-alone separate from the whole project source tree.

Check out the discord for more info anyway, it's linked from the official SOH github repository and there's a channel dedicated to the Switch port.

This makes no sense.

All source ports require you add the ROM/game data.

Quakespasm requires you to add the .pak files
DiabloX requires the game data
Descent requires the game data
Duke Nukems eduke32 requires the games .grp files
GZDoom requires .wad files.
Serious Sam, Open Morrowind, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Cannonball (outrun), the list goes on.
This is standard.

exaclty is for that you can't upload the NRO here on GBATemp or legally share on the net. you can always make a copy for yourself providing your legal ROM

Is there a document showing how to do all this? I've tried the discord channel but there are just thousands of comments with no reference how to get started. Got the PC port working so hopefully it's not too much harder for Switch.

Someone already ported To the switch if you check out the progress updates channel

They might be a good resource to reach out too

no yet, the switch port is WIP so you need to read the entire discord chanell to try to make sense on it, or wait to a github fork is make.
