Homebrew RELEASE Sonic 3 AIR

[Surra]

Using Arch Linux here. My environment variables are set properly, it fails immediately. "No rule to build « obj/Switch/Oxygen/lemonscript/source/lemon/compiler/FunctionCompiler.o »".

I was able to fix this error by editing the path of "FunctionCompiler.cpp" in the Makefile, which was inside of a folder named "backend", and kept editing for every other error that followed.
sadly I'm now stuck during the Linking stage with errors like these:

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:374: bin/Switch/sonic3air.elf] Error 1

if anyone that sees this has any idea of what went wrong please let me know.

Edit: part of the Terminal's output became emojis, awesome.
Edit2: attached the edited Makefile so that anyone may use it.

Alternatively I have made the Windows version work on Wine and Proton, just not as full screen cause my video card is way too old.

Just me or the download link page for the Switch is dead ?

I assume a recompilation will be needed for the latest firmware?

Yeah, it won't work with the latest firmware/Atmosphere, I tried compiling it with the latest libnx, but I keep getting the same error as ShelbySann:

"No rule to build « obj/Switch/Oxygen/lemonscript/source/lemon/compiler/FunctionCompiler.o »".

I also tried the libnx ABI patcher:

Homebrew Project  Thread 'libnx ABI patcher - patches incompatible homebrew for Atmosphere 1.10+'

Nov 22, 2025

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A MASSIVE HACK

Use this tool only for "abandonware" or homebrew that is no longer maintained. If the homebrew developer is still active, please ask them to update their application properly. Or if you can, do it yourself.

I made a quick web-based tool to patch not actively maintained homebrew.

As many have likely noticed by now, the firmware 21.0.0 introduced kernel changes, that broke all libnx-based homebrew. These changes were backported to all firmwares in Atmosphere 1.10.0+.

This tool has a single job - apply several small...

At this point we're better off redoing the whole porting. Getting the latest version to work in the process.

Damn, that's a shame.

hi,
To continue using these ports, if there's no new compilation, you can use the patched version of Atmosphere. Some might say it's not the ideal solution, but it works.

Still better that using the Windows version wine/proton, cause the Switch doesn't have enough ram to run that well.

Also there is Sonic 3 Complete that being a Sega Genesis rom has no problems running in a Sega Genesis emulator.
