Homebrew WIP CannonBall - Outrun Engine ported to the Switch (5.0)

[ploggy]

LANTUS!! Big fan mate. Awesome to see you working on Switch stuff now. Followed you during the Xbox/360 scene Wow with you and Ced2911 all we need is a Gligli then we'd have the Emulator masters together

I found your code on github! I can't post links yet but the github username is 'lantus' for those curious.

I'm having a weird issue attempting to compile it. This is the first switch homebrew using switch-SDL2 that I've tried to compile so it's possible that my dev setup just isn't quite right but I figured I'd post it here & see if anyone has any insight:

/opt/devkitpro/portlibs/switch/lib/libSDL2.a(SDL_systhread.o): In function `SDL_ThreadID':
/home/davem/projects/devkitpro/pacman-packages/switch/SDL2/src/SDL2-2.0.8/src/thread/switch/SDL_systhread.c:66: undefined reference to `svcGetThreadId'
/opt/devkitpro/portlibs/switch/lib/libSDL2.a(SDL_systhread.o): In function `SDL_SYS_SetThreadPriority':
/home/davem/projects/devkitpro/pacman-packages/switch/SDL2/src/SDL2-2.0.8/src/thread/switch/SDL_systhread.c:97: undefined reference to `svcSetThreadPriority'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [makefile:44: release/cannonball.elf] Error 1​

This is with switch-sdl2 2.0.8-7 from the devkitpro pacman repos.

I wasn't around the Xbox for the beginning of the scene, but around a month ago I discovered that interesting video on your YouTube channel about the work you did for it!

You need to update libnx.

Was working with Ced too, "unfortunately" most of my releases where anonymous back in that time

i remember you man. good to see you! thanks for the tip about libnx

 

[yesimnathan]

Ahh yep, that did it! Thanks so much for the help! Odd, I had originally installed libnx from the devkitpro pacman packages I thought... but pacman wasn't aware of it. I had to blow away the files & reinstall.

I've gotten it to compile but now I can't seem to get it to launch - just launches to a black screen. I dropped the arcade roms in a 'roms' folder. I should just need the cannonball.nro and roms dir with the roms in it right? Directory structure is /switch/cannonball.nro & /switch/roms/*. I also made sure that I had all of the files mentioned in the roms/roms.txt file (except for the extra japanese tracks). Maybe I'm missing something else?

you also need tilemap.bin and tilepatch.bin in /res

I also saw that video not too long ago.
Nice to see someone talented coming to the switch! I hope you do great things @OP!

 

[yesimnathan]

Ahh I see. I gave that a try but I'm oddly still just getting a black screen. Those files should go in /switch/res/ on the SD card & not /switch/roms right? Is there something else I'm missing perhaps? Thanks for the help by the way & sorry for the pestering!

Pretty sure he ment *root*/res

Pretty sure he ment *root*/res

Looking at the source, it looks like it's referencing 'res/*' via a relative path so that would make me think that it should live in the same directory as the nro file

pull latest commit now. should display stuff
