How to play Pokerogue on Nintendo Switch

I've been stuck grinding this game (https://pokerogue.net/)for days now and wanted a more convenient way to play it.

For this guide, you will need to have android installed on your system using switchroot. At the very least until the game's JS source code is properly ported to the system using NX.JS by @tootallnate (if anyone wants to take on this project, I will happily donate a modded system)

Anyways onto the guide

  1. Follow the switchroot guide to install android to your Nintendo switch: https://wiki.switchroot.org/wiki/android/11-r-setup-guide
  2. Once installed and you're viewing the android homescreen, open the playstore and download the "Downloader" app. This is the easiest way to download and install APKs IMO: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.esaba.downloader&hl=en_US
  3. Open the downloader app, and enter the URL to billy's repo. You can also use a URL shortener if you'd like to be lazy. So feel free to type either of these links as they are the same

  4. Code: 
    https://github.com/Admiral-Billy/Pokerogue-App/releases/

https://shorturl.at/OcPlw
  5. Once downloaded, follow the prompts from the downloader app to give it permission to install external files, and install the game.
  6. Navigate back to the playstore, download/install "leankey keyboard" as your main system keyboard, since this will be required to login to your account as of now(until the devs fix the keyboard bug)
  7. once installed and activated as your main Android keyboard, you should be able to open the game app from your system's homescreen;

  8. Once inside the app, you're now free to either play online or offline. If you choose to play online. You will be asked to sign into an account. Now this is why you had to install a 3rd party keyboard as this step is a bit buggy for now. You will need to manually tap on the "username" field to bring up the "leankey keyboard' and will need to enter your username using the touchscreen only as the controller will not work for this step.
  9. Once you manage to use the inaccurate keyboard to type your username, tap "next" to start typing your password
  10. once done tap enter, and wait a few moments to sign in(the app can take a minute to think)
  11. ???
  12. profit!

I wish it was native as well, the Android build as a bit of a memory leak which can cause random crashes sometimes

But I don’t know nearly enough JS to use the NX.JS lib since in order to port the game, the electron dev functions need to be removed, and any code for file management needs to be redone since NX.js handles that a bit different

Just want to note, there is no need to mess around with getting this to run on the switch if you want to play a portable version, you can play on Iphone and Andriod devices (assuming you have a modern enough device), it just applies a touch overlay on the website so you can play

That also works yes, but those versions suck if you want to use a controller.

Theres a bug currently where Bluetooth controllers on mobile specifically will routinely send double inputs. It’s super annoying I was constantly grabbing thr wrong item, replacing moves and could barely select my party before a run because it would skip the generations when trying to scroll

TLDR: best controller ways to play currently are directly on a PC either on your browser or the dedicated app. Or the Android APK however you want to play it

I was able to install the APK to my TV and oculus quest 3 as well(another spot the browser version didn’t work properly)

New android build dropped. This increased performance considerably. You can actually navigate the home menu now....that being said the documentation kinda sucks still(it did just release after all) so if anyone is feeling froggy.....really you just need to be aware that you need to build the proper switchroot file structure on your own. Instead of downloading an already organized zip file. ADB also does not work even though the wiki instructs you to do so(as of now) so you need to apply the update from your SD card much like you did before.

    Finally got an appointment with an ENT, but it's not for another month. It's already been 4- days of loud ringing in my left ear, substantial pain on left side of my neck and left side on the back of my head. Doctors here at the regular clinic put me on a couple different meds for a month that did absolutely nothing, then they told me there's nothing more they can do for me despite being in pain and my ear sounding like im underwater and ringing.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Then three chiropractor appointments which also didn't help at all so i didn't go to the 4th. Been trying to get ahold of this ENT clinic out of town for a week and finally got an appointment set up. But its not til the 17th of July so I have to suffer all this shit for nearly another month.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I hope relief from all of this is on the way because I've felt so defeated and severaly lacking in sleep because of the pain and ringing.
