Professor Layton Curious Village HD - Nintendo Switch port

This is a wrapper/port of the Android version of Professor Layton: Curious Village HD (v1.0.8).
It loads the original game binary, patches it and runs it.
It's basically as if we emulate a minimalist Android environment in which we natively run the original Android binary as is.

This is a based on max_nx adapted and original layton-vita

Thank you so much for the port! I am unfortunately having some issues with it, and I wanted to see if they could be resolved.

1. The talking scenes during the intro, the puzzle result animation and the like run really slowly on my end. I thought it might be because the game is running in 720p but I cannot figure out how to lower the resolution at all, or if the cause of the slow down might be a different reason entirely.

2. Despite the Layton folder being around 570mb on my computer, it turns into around 2GB of space on the Switch itself. Is that normal?

3. I cannot seem to get the controllers to work at all, with only the touch screen working. Is this intended?

Despite these issues, I once again thank you for the port!

1. Do you use the latest 1.0.1 that fix frame pacing ? Slow puzzle result animation is likely cause of I/O overhead and was also an issue on the vita port

2. Yes cluster size issue with a lot of small files

3. It's a touch only game, not made for controller

1. No, there was no 1.0.1 version when I tried it. I'll download the new version and edit this post to see if it runs better on my end. EDIT: Runs perfectly now!

2. Ah, I see. Thank you for clarifying, I was worried my apk was damaged or something.

3. I only ask because the github mentions resolutions for docked mode. If you dock the console, you wouldn't be able to play it without buttons right?
