fallout2 ce switch

Fallout 2 Community Edition - Switch

You must own the game to play and have a Switch capable of running unsigned code, so you need a Switch running on custom firmware to run the port. Needless to say, this is not an official effort from Interplay or Bethesda.

Installation

1. Purchase your copy on GOG or Steam. The files need to be from a Windows installation (I think.)
2. Download the latest release or build from the source. See YAML pipelines for reference.
3. Drag the installation files into a new folder called fallout2 in your switch folder on the root of your SD card.
4. Put the necessary executable in your switch folder on the root of your SD card, either .nro or .nso.

Note: Any Fallout 2 saves, CE or not, should work on this port. However, I'm not responsible if your save somehow corrupts!

Controls

• Basic touchscreen support is implemented.
• On-screen keyboard support implemented for names and saves.

Configuration

• Cursor Sensitivity: Adjustable in options via mouse sensitivity. Note this will affect cursor speedup as well.
• Resolution: You can configure resolution and scaling through a config file. Create a file in your fallout2 folder called fallout2_nx.ini - It needs to follow the following structure:

[MAIN]
SCR_WIDTH=1708
SCR_HEIGHT=960
SCALE_2X=1
; Change resolution and determine scaling. SCALE_2X=1 will turn 2x scaling on. SCALE_2X=0 will turn it off. 

[IFACE]
IFACE_BAR_MODE=0
IFACE_BAR_WIDTH=800
IFACE_BAR_SIDE_ART=1
IFACE_BAR_SIDES_ORI=0
; I wouldn't change these if you don't know what you're doing. Related to the interface bar.`
