This is a port of Jonathon Fowler's SW that aims to bring the original Shadow Warrior experience to the Nintendo Switch.

Key changes for this version includes:

Switch custom controls reading system, as sdl, for some reason, can't produce input events
"Hotplug" switch between OG game and WD addon (still need restart game, though)
Support for Polymost and OpenGL rendering (true 3d with option to use classic 8bpp)
While using SwitchBrew's libnx, keyboard inputs (save) and (un)dock mode supported
Modified build files and scripts, to bring fluid devkit toolchain integration

Installation

Go to releases page, and grab latest .nro executable.

Obtain legal copy of Shadow Warrior (this was tested with the Steam version), files in: "Steam\steamapps\common\Shadow Warrior Classic\gameroot\classic"

Create "jfsw" folder somewhere on your SD card (i.e. /switch folder, as default for hb's).

Place "sw.grp", "wt.grp" and TrackXX.ogg from MUSIC to it.

Place "jfsw.nro" in that folder, too.

(Recommended) Launch game in non-applet mode.

(Optional) if you want to create forwarder DO NOT USE video capture - it causes CPU Boost bug after closing app.
