Port of the Commander Keen interpreter Commander Genius built using devkitPro.

Features

  • Multiplayer co-op with up to four players.
  • Touch screen support.
  • Integrated game downloader (Requires WiFi).
  • Native resolution (+ scaling options).

Installation

Download the ZIP and extract the whole CommanderGenius folder into the switch folder on the SD card.

Replace the .nro with any new build.

Then start the application from hbmenu (preferably not in applet mode).

Works on Atmosphere-NX.

User guide

Adding the games

To use the integrated downloader just select "+ More" after starting Commander Genius. Depending on the mirror the download sometimes takes up to ~30 seconds. If it still fails, just try again or download the games manually.

If the integrated downloader causes issues, or if one just wants to keep the Switch offline, the shareware titles can also be downloaded here and extracted to /switch/CommanderGenius/games/ on the SD card.

Note: Besides the shareware episodes, Commander Genius also supports the commercial Commander Keen titles.

Co-op

For coop scrolling will be locked to one of the players, so you have to stay reasonably close.

But choosing a higher resolution helps with this, as it expands the visible area of the level.

Controls

The controls can be remapped.

D-Pad or Left Stick - Walking directions

A - Jump

B - Run

X - Pogo

Y - Shoot

Plus - Back/Menu

Minus - Status

R - Camlead (Multiplayer)

L - Help

Media
