Homebrew RELEASE Ren'Py port to Nintendo Switch

[uyjulian]

You're asking the wrong question.

The right question is 'Is that why this thread is dead?'

Some people not on gbatemp find this engine useful and are communicating with me on how to improve it.

You sound super cool.

and are communicating with me on how to improve it.

You are ignoring the biggest way to improve it. And other ways, including contemporary file types like apng and animated svg. People can 'communicate' with you all they want, doesn't mean anything if you are incapable of implementing any of the features.

 

[MrMcTiller]

This is gonna be nice. I'm going to try it out right now. lmao

Okay, thanks) Also DDLC crashes without starting, but i haven't log.

oh. That's sad. I'm sad now.

You want more file types? Go ask renpytom as he is the one that maintains the engine. If he implements them, I can merge them into my fork.

There have been some updates recently that allow DDLC to work.

Are you telling me you're not even on the main renpy dev team? That this is some amateurish fork? jfc why am I even concerning myself with this failure of a personal project.

Could anyone give me an example of a game they've decompiled and got to work? This way I can verify I'm setting up Ren'Py and renpy-switch correctly.

Looking forward to using it. VNs are maximum comfy on a switch.

The Question, included with the Ren'Py distribution, works perfectly fine.

If the game works on Ren'Py 7.3.4, it should also work on this version.

Cheers. Thanks for the good work.

No problem.

apparently i'm not doing something right.

merging folders: add renpy switch files to "game folder", or add "game folder" to renpy switch? i know that a renpy folder will need to be overwritten, but i need to know which set is the actual necessary one.


does this have to be compiled to the single .nro?

do I have to rename the game files in the main folder to "renpy.py" or can i leave that as is?

the games i use have in the main folder a .py and a .sh, but no .pyo


basically, i need idiot proof instructions please

Use "renpy" folder from "renpy-switch-sdk-vX.7z"

does this have to be compiled to the single .nro?

no

do I have to rename the game files in the main folder to "renpy.py" or can i leave that as is?

no, you do not need to rename anything

the games i use have in the main folder a .py and a .sh, but no .pyo

pyo will be generated when you run the game on the SD filesystem, or when you run "find . -name \*.py -exec python -O -m py_compile {} \;" on a system with Python installed.

no, you do not need to rename anything

on that note, do i still need the original included renpy.py/o files?

 

[uyjulian]

on that note, do i still need the original included renpy.py/o files?

No, just replace them with the files contained in the archive.

Do I need a physical keyboard to type in renpy games or no?

 

[uyjulian]

Do I need a physical keyboard to type in renpy games or no?

Yes. You can plug in a keyboard to the dock when in docked mode or using a USB-C to USB-A adapter in handheld mode.

 

[Deluxe4arms]

Yes. You can plug in a keyboard to the dock when in docked mode or using a USB-C to USB-A adapter in handheld mode.

Typing names doesn't work, but when I click enter it bypasses it. It's fine but a bit weird.

 

[uyjulian]

Its not working for me.

Does the keyboard work correctly in other applications? If not, try a different one.

I only have one, darn.

Possible reasoning for OOM error: Heap size is randomized, so in one circumstance, there may be plenty of memory, while in another circumstance, there may not be enough memory.

How did I determine this? Here is some example code: https://gist.github.com/uyjulian/df5e5c44a8304ba17536609f0358ac0a
