Thanks for this, I tried it with Escape from Monkey Island and after the titles, the very first video flickers with large black squares and crashes the Switch - any ideas?

Also, do you think the Playstation Classic would be powerful enough to run this (assume it would need porting)?

No, everything is fine here. Which version are you using ? And also, do you have changed anything in the options ?

Dunno, I have no experience in PSC.

Hi guys ! I was so excited to play the longest journey on my switch but it doesn't work :-(

On my /switch/ folder I have put :
switch/data
switch/doc
switch/residualvm.nro

The game is located in the root folder.

(the game works fine with steam or gog)

When I launch the game, I have the following error : could not open shader stark_surface.vortex

thanks for you help

Hi @Z01000

from the official revidualVM readme :

Steam version and demo from Steam are missing the fonts directory. The required fonts can be copied over from demo version obtained from different sources or a GOG or retail version.

and

The 2-CD and DVD versions have some of the data files packed in installer archives. The archives need to be unpacked before they can be used.

you can give it a try (don't know if it works, never played this game)

Hi ! Thanks for you reply.

Sorry I didn't mention all the details but Indeed I have added the "Fonts" directory.

About the "2-CD and DVD version" I don't see any .zip file that need to be unpackaged.

It seems to complain about missing shaders.
/switch/data should contain a directory called "shaders" with several files in it. Do you have them ?

    The snack that smiles back, Ballsack!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
