Dusklight-NX

(This is with a very mild OC, RAM1600, 460GPU is used in a few games like BOTW/TOTK, but since it is generally CPU bottlenecked especially when in-game it hits 30-40fps easily)

This is a dusklight port for Switch. It uses Vulkan via NXVK and an optimized pipeline with custom SDL3 port to get good performance.

Place it in sdmc:/switch/dusklight named game.***

Also, there seems to be a performance regression in cpu heavy scenario, unsure what is the cause. Will have to diagnose it.

this worked

I'm trying to remap the triggers and bumpers, but when I try to map R to Z it wont accept any input from L and R specifically. it accepts any other button, or the triggers, and other actions let me use the bumpers.

Able to reproduce. Will fix this as part of the next version

Runs great so far, apart from the initial shader loading in new scenes. But I seem to get a stable 60FPS with a light overclock. Finally a state where I actually see myself playing and finishing the game.
Thanks!
