   /switch/galaxian_nx/assets/

Configuration​

Example:

screen_width 1280
screen_height 720
deadzone 18
assetpack 1
enable_vulkan 1
ui_mode desktop
desktop uses the desktop UI and scalable font.

mobile uses the mobile UI and bitmap font.

Touch Controls can still be enabled or disabled independently from the in-game settings.

Notes​

Enabling on-screen touch controls increases CPU/GPU load due to continuous touch interface processing and rendering, which may reduce FPS. For better performance, playing with Touch Controls disabled is recommended.

This is an unofficial Nintendo Switch port. Original game files must be obtained by the user from their own copy.
