Renpy2Switch is an open source port of Ren'Py to the Nintendo Switch, based on uyjulian's renpy-switch.

The main differences are:

Novels are now in .NSP format.
Novels are saved in their own folder, not on the flash drive.
Working keyboard and presplash.
New controls implemented.
Updated to 7.6.1.
Auto-saves are disabled by default.
Added support for AVIF.
Fixed some bugs.
log.txt is disabled (only 7.3.5).

User guide

Building a Novel:

In the novel you're interested in, find the game folder.
Also, no .exe/.sh/.py files are required. The Renpy/lib folder is also not needed.
Copy all the files from the novel's game folder into the romfs/Contents/game folder of the archive.
In build.bat, change the name, id, and tpub to your own values.
Replace icon.jpg. It's important that the file is a JPG and the name doesn't change.
Run build.bat, and you'll get an NSP file ready for installation on the console.

Changelog

Changes from Version 7.3.5 to 7.6.1

Log file exists again.
Caching is enabled. Novels load faster now.
Dynamic save system.
A few more fixes I forgot to mention.

Thanks

Special thanks to duckbill and Beren for helping with the update.
