Homebrew Homebrew game Half Life 2 (Source Engine) - Switch Port

[Nagaa]

Half Life 2 (nillerusr Source engine) - Nintendo Switch port

This is a wrapper/port of the Android version of the Android Source Engine from nillerusr (v1.16.29 - 1.17.0025).
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.

My biggest Switch port so far, episodes 1 and 2 are supported.

The game is fairly CPU intensive, running it with overclock is recommended.

Report any issues you run into.

DAFUQ? I knew Vita had a source port for Half Life 1, but HL2?

Incredible.

That's the biggest win for me from all those android projects. I'm a big fan of Half Life, never played it on gamepad so it's time to try. Thanks

Also hyperlink is wrong. It leads to layton repo

Also wouldn't be better to give episodes separate folders? Because currently you can't store all 3 games at once.

This is made from scratch, not based on an already made vita port

Fixed the link thanks

Not sure to understand about the episodes folder, it's already in separate folder (episodic/ep2) and you can store the 3 games at once only need a small config.txt edit between boot

It's not mentioned in readme so i assumed it works by replacing original data

It's only mentioned inside the files layout exemple

And i guess you can make a small ultrahand package for quick edit

ah, i understand now where my misunderstanding came from. I wasn't aware that with 20 year anniversary update they merged episodes into base game.

Tried to use "20th Anniversary Update" ep2 / hl2 / episodic / platform data files. The games starts OK, but in-game physical Switch buttons don't respond at all except the '+' menu button, only touchscreen works, and visual glitches occurs like these:



It's something wrong with my data files, right?

Need to use Android version files I guess.

You need to enable the gamepad in game settings
For the graphical issues, 20th Anniversary Update is not supported you need to get the legacy version
PC Steam build / Android NVIDIA Port can be used
