Isn't it already in NSO?
yeah but my guess is better video rendereing etc (since this is compiled for switch hardware using RE'd code then stripping Copyrighted code for legal reasons (also called "the clean room approach",same method for emulators) the NSO version is just a repackaged rom file with configs to make it "just work" also you can sideload mods to run natively (much like switch games on a modded console

Ah, yeah, the NSO version tries to recreate the original, warts and all. A native Switch version would be awesome. If Microsoft sold it on the Switch App Store I'd probably buy it for my unmodded OLED.
 
Guys, I need some help here, I got able to put the game on Switch just fine and I want to play with my Gamecube controllers via adapter, the thing is, when I try to rebind the controls, it doesn´t detect the Analog sticks to rebind, so I can´t really set the controls right, and, the original set-up is with the sticks done for modern controls, not Legacy (like the original N64, moving with the analog and strafing with Cstick) is it possible to change those setting otherwise? Maybe in the config files or something? Would like to make all 4 GC controllers work with this setting
 
A question that I have, if we trade the roms (like, putting the Goldeneye X mod) on the main rom folder, it works for the build? Just curious to see if this is an option for modded versions of the game
 
Are mods available for this decomp? Wondered what was available. If so are they supported? Great work BTW. Cant believe I only found this switch port today!

Heyy so I've put the latest version of this port on my switch but I can't get it running??

I just get error code 2168-0002 (0x4a8) Program: 010000000000100D in atmosphere. I've tried looking for that folder (content/010000000000100D) inside my SD but I does not exist? What am I doing wrong?
 
Ok I'm really bad at all this sorry!

So to do that I need to install it to the Home Screen and not open the actual app through album correct? Cause if I hold R and try to open it through hbmenu it just gives me the same error. I tried installing the pd.arm64.nro through TinFoil but that gives me an error too so I obviously don't know what I am doing. What step am I missing?

Really appreciate all the help!

It's easy. Read the guides.

Press and hold the R button and then run any title on the main screen this way the Homebrew Loader run in full app mode. Inside to can execute

Remember you need the original ROM to run the software as stated by the instructions:

And did not use tinfoil. This is a Homebrew to don't buy l need dark said for that go to tweakers section of the for huh, download the mods recently one. Extract it to the correct folder in your SD and copy the original ROM legally acquired to the correspondent folder in the SD

I just build from code the latest github and works fine on my console.

Steps:

Copy pd.arm64.nro to SDMC:/switch/perfectdark/pd.arm64.nro
Create the folder SDMC:/switch/perfectdark/data
Copy the file pd.ntsc-final.z64 to SDMC:/switch/perfectdark/data (MUST HAVE MD5 CHECKSUM e03b088b6ac9e0080440efed07c1e40f)
RUN HOMEBREW LOADER ON FULL APP MODE, by pressing R while loading any title on the HOS NO THE ALBUM!!!
