ROM Hack Discussion The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt General Hacking

[zkitX]

Placeholder discussion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I will be filling this out more as I test things with the game files and learn how things work.

For now I see no way to compile scripts for mods. The RomFS has cooked scripts which it loads, looking for ways to bypass this issue

What we know so far

• The RomFS has the same directory structure as the PC version of the game.
• Vanilla (non-modded) PC Saves transfer over with ease
• The games .bundle files which contain game files supports Oodle data compression, The updated quickbms script is uploaded below.

Do we yet know if PC saves work with the Switch version?

I just checked, vanilla saves work perfectly transferred from PC.

That's great, now to try and get the debug console working.

what about using mods that the PC uses? similar to how Skyrim handles.

Looking into that as I write this

Looking forward to seeing where this goes Wonder just how compatible things are between the two versions

ReverseNX works well with this, crisp 720p with a high overclock. For those that want the best experience.

Did you mean handheld.flag on docked mode?

Docked flag on handheld. Handheld runs very low res normally.

I find out myself, the game seems unplayable, very low fps even with highest overclock profile.

How did this work? i´m to stupid to understand it...
i have a overclock thingy for the FF7 Mod on the switch, but i dont write that, it came with the .rar inside
Can i modify this file to overclock for switcher too?

Waiting for 600p / 720p handled mod (although it may work only with Overclock).

(I will try with ReverseNX)

No, but I assume the rom has been leaked.

PD: No, ReverNX is not a solution for SXOS...

Is not?

Reverse NX works on SXOS now, easy 720p with overclock.

FPS averages 30fps, a few drops for sure, especially at the start of cut scenes while they load, but it works great for me, really surprised.

I had not seen the update. Great, thanks!

Possible to make it 60fps?

Unlikely, OC only allows a somewhat stable framerate, very little lee-way to go beyond that point power wise.
