ScummVM has been ported to the Nintendo Switch.

For more information, including how to install and use ScummVM, see the Nintendo Switch page in the user documentation.

Developer information

Building from source

This port of ScummVM to the Switch is based on SDL2. It uses the open source SDK provided by devkitPro.

To build ScummVM for Switch:

Obtain the ScummVM source code (https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm)

Install the development tools for Switch following the official instructions (https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started)

Update package database and install libraries (see here for an updated list)

sudo dkp-pacman -Sy
sudo dkp-pacman -S \
switch-sdl2 \
switch-libmad \
switch-libogg \
switch-libvorbis \
switch-flac \
switch-libtheora \
switch-libpng \
switch-libjpeg-turbo \
switch-zlib \
switch-freetype \
switch-sdl2_net \
switch-curl \
switch-libtimidity \
switch-pkg-config

Optional: To enable fluidsynth support, download and install the unofficial fluidsynth-lite switch port via

git clone https://github.com/rsn8887/fluidsynth-lite
cd fluidsynth-lite
make -f Makefile.nx
sudo -E make -f Makefile.nx install

Create a subdirectory somewhere outside the source folder for your ScummVM build and cd into it

Execute the command (once a curl-config script exists for devkitA64, the --disable-libcurl could be omitted)

../scummvm/configure --host=switch

Execute the command

make scummvm_switch.zip

Thanks

-== Prerequisites ==
-* A homebrew enabled Nintendo Switch console.
-* At least one ScummVM supported game. The list of compatible games can be seen here: https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/
-* The page [[Where to get the games]] references some places where those games can be bought. Demonstration versions for most of the supported games are downloadable on https://scummvm.org/demos/
-== Installing ==
+== Developer information ==
-* The latest nightly version is [http://buildbot.scummvm.org/snapshots/master/switch-master-latest.zip here] (needs to be unzipped).
+=== Building from source ===
-* Copy the scummvm folder to your SD card into the folder /switch/
-* Launch ScummVM using your favorite method to launch homebrew on the Switch
-== Configuring Games ==
-The user manual describes how to add games to ScummVM and launch them: [[User Manual]]
-== Notes ==
-Saves are written to the /switch/scummvm/saves folder.
-= Controls =
-{{SwitchControls}}
-= Touch Controls =
-The touch controls use an indirect mode, where the finger can be far away from the pointer and still move it, (like on a laptop touchpad). The pointer speed setting in options->controls affects how far the pointer moves in response to a finger movement on the rear panel.
-The two finger drag is useful for Full Throttle to bring up the action menu, and in the menu to use the scroll bar in the game list. It works in the following way: holding down two fingers for a while initiates a drag'n'drop where the left mouse button is being held down. The first finger affects mouse motion during the drag, the second finger can be removed without affecting the drag. When the last finger is removed, the left mouse button is released and the drag is over. Note the second finger can be anywhere, it doesn't have to be close to the first finger, and it doesn't have to be put down simultaneously with the first finger, either.
-Typical usage of dual finger drag and drop in Full Throttle: Hold down one finger over an object. Then hold down a second finger somewhere on the screen for a little bit to initiate a dual finger drag. This brings up the action menu. Now let go of the second finger. The dual-finger drag continues since one finger is still down. Select an action with the first finger, and let go of the first finger to end the drag.
-There is also a three finger drag that causes the right-mouse button to be held down, instead of the left one. It might be useful for some games.
