OpenTTD is a re-implementation of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, ported to the Nintendo Switch by rsn8887, based on the Vita port by angguss. The port includes control enhancements and enabled sound on the Vita port. The game comes with everything you need to start playing right away.

Installation

Unzip openttd_switch.zip and copy the contents over to the /switch/ folder on your sd card, so that you have a folder /switch/openttd with many folders and files inside.

Use you favorite homebrew launcher to start the game. It comes with everything you need to start playing right away. Note that this game takes quite long to load (~15 seconds).

The public domain graphics and sound sets from www.openttd.org are included. If you want the choice to also use the original dos game graphics and sounds, copy over the files:

• SAMPLE.CAT
• TRHCOM.GRF
• TREND.GRF
• TRTITLE.GRF
• TRG1.GRF
• TRGC.GRF
• TRGH.GRF
• TRGI.GRF
• TRGT.GRF

from an original TTD game to /switch/openttd/baseset/.

To install the original music, copy over all files

• gm/gm_ttxx.gm (xx are numbers)

from the folder gm from the original windows version of the game to /switch/openttd/gm/.

You then get the choice to select "original dos" graphics, sounds, and music when you go to the game settings dialog.
