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
