Installation

What you will need:

• A modded Switch running atmosphere custom firmware that's capable of using LayeredFS.
• 7-zip installed on your computer.
• nxdumptool.

How to dump game RomFS:

• Use nxdumptool to dump the contents of portal 2 to your SD card.
• You can find the dumped files on your SD card under the /switch/nxdumptool/romfs/portal 2/game.zip/ folder.
• Copy the game.zip folder to your PC, inside will be two files 00 and 01, rename them to game.zip.001 and game.zip.002 respectively.
• Open game.zip.001 with 7-zip and make sure that you see these folders:
  • nxcontent
  • platform
  • portal2
  • portal_dlc1
  • portal_dlc2
  • update
• Extract all of these to a new folder on your PC.

How to install the patch:

• Open bringusmenu.zip and extract the nxcontent folder into the new folder that you extracted game.zip.001 into earlier.
• If it asks you to replace any files say yes.
• Highlight all of these folders that you extracted earlier and right click and go to 7zip > Add to archive.
  • You can change the compression level here to normal to save space on your SD card, making the file 8 gigabytes.
  • Or you can select store and the game will load a little bit faster but the file size will be about 12 gigabytes.
  • Make sure that you're making a .zip archive.
• Name the new archive game.zip and put it in /atmosphere/contents/{title id for portal 2}/romfs/
• This process can take a few minutes, once the archive is made, eject your SD card and put it back into your Switch and start the game.

How to add custom maps:

• To add custom map, rename the map you want to load in the game to:
  • map1.bsp
  • map2.bsp
  • map3.bsp
• so the menu will know what to launch.
• Then in your extracted game folder go into the /portal 2/maps/ folder and drop it in there.
• Then use 7-zip to make the game.zip archive on your SD card again.

Note: Alternatively, you can use masagrator's Portal Collection File Sideloader​, which allows you load files outside of game.zip, so there is no need to repack the archives every time you want to change something.

User guide

After entering a map, you can pause the game to enable power-ups:

• D-Pad Down - You can no clip or fly around and walk through walls and out of bounds
• D-Pad Left - Enable god mode which prevents you from taking any damage
• D-Pad Right - Load custom map number one
• Left Stick Button - Show the developer console
• Right Stick Button - Spawn a turret
• Right Shoulder Button - Fire a rocket from your face
• D-Pad Up - Disable the power-ups
