SiN (1998) for Switch

[rohit-n]

This is a port of SiN (1998) for the Switch, using the Dominatrix source port. You need the original game files to play. The files from the Steam, GOG, and original CD versions are compatible. The expansion pack Wages of SiN is currently not supported.

Simply place the game's base/ folder into a folder on /switch/, and then copy the contents of dominatrix-switch-v1.2.zip into that folder (so sin.nro should be outside of base/). You will overwrite default.cfg, which now adds a default bind (L) for the weapon radial menu. You can also bind this in the Extra Settings menu, located at the bottom of the Game Options menu. Save games are located in base/.

Performance is passable but not amazing, and framerate degrades when lightmaps change, but the game should be playable from start to finish.

Thank you for this. It's very cool. The games kinda janky but I love me some Quake (2) engjne.

Is the mission pack going to be supported at some point?
You can't bind the CL/CR stick buttons. They aren't recognised.

Also, Is anyone able to pass the Sintek Chemical Plant mission? My Switch locks up every time I complete the mission. Next mission loads exactly 50% and my entire switch freezes. MIGHT just possibly be my switch, I've had issues with 1 bit mode before but every other mission is fine and loads as expected. It's frozen on just this mission 8 times for me now. I replay the other levels and everything works fine.

Edit: I can just plug in a keyboard, open the console and use 'map chem2' to get to the level. But curious if it's just me or happening to everyone else.

Don't know if *bumping* threads work but this is a cool release and shouldn't be on page 9.

User Rohit you should add *HOMEBREW* and *RELEASE* tags to the thread.
