Kirikiroid2-NX
Play KiriKiri engine visual novels on your Switch — a port of Kirikiroid2 1.3.9
Hi GBAtemp!
I've been porting Kirikiroid2, the well-known Android/iOS player for KiriKiri (krkr) visual novels, to the Switch. To my knowledge it's the first port of the Kirikiroid2 app itself to the Switch. It's now in a usable alpha state, so here's the first public release thread.
What it does
- Copy a KiriKiri visual novel you own to the SD card, using the same folder you'd use with Kirikiroid2 on Android (data.xp3, xp3filter.tjs, patch.tjs, fan-translation patches...). Then open it from the original Kirikiroid2 file browser.
- Built from zeas2's original Kirikiroid2 1.3.9 source, not a new engine, so compatibility fixes, xp3filter.tjs support and the UI behave like on Android.
- Video (FFmpeg), voice/BGM, transitions (incl. extrans), layer effects (layerExImage), GDI+ text (layerExDraw), fstat and AlphaMovie plugins, game-bundled fonts, Japanese / Chinese / Vietnamese text.
- Touchscreen + Joy-Con / Pro Controller: A advance, B cancel, D-pad select, left stick = mouse cursor (A/B click), − = Kirikiroid2 menu. Buttons can be remapped in Kirikiroid2's key map.

Copy Kirikiroid2-NX.nro to sdmc:/switch/ and launch it in title-takeover mode (hold R while starting a game). Applet mode (Album) doesn't have enough RAM.

Status (alpha)
- Tested with several commercial and fan-translated KAG/KAGEX games, which play start to finish with saves.
- Not ported yet: KAGParserEx, E-mote/motion player and a few other Windows-only plugins. Games that need them will show an error.
- Software renderer only, so heavy effects can be slow.
If a game works in Kirikiroid2 on Android but not here, please post in this thread or open a GitHub issue, and attach the logs from sdmc:/switch/kirikiroid2/ (k2s_log.txt, k2s_log.prev.txt, k2s_crash.txt). Reports of games that work are very welcome too.
No game data is included or will be provided. Please only use games you own, and don't ask for or post links to games in this thread.
