Open-source clone of the original X-Com on the Nintendo Switch. This port is based on a fork of the SDL2 branch from the original OpenXcom. For more information, visit the official OpenXcom website.
Key differences:
- Controller support, thanks to Northfear and his PS Vita port for point of start.
- Touchscreen, switch keyboard support.
- Modified software rendering functions from sdl1, which don't supported in devkitPRO.
- Modified build files and scripts, to bring fluid devkit toolchain integration.
- Docked and handheld recognition, screen resolution changes on game's start.
Installation
Go to releases page, and grab latest .nro executable.
Obtain legal copy of XCOM: UFO Defense and/or XCOM: TFTD, for steam, files in:
- UFO: "Steam\SteamApps\common\XCom UFO Defense\XCOM"
- TFTD: "Steam\SteamApps\common\X-COM Terror from the Deep\TFD"
Use "bin" folder from the zip file, rename it to "openxcom" and place somewhere on SD.
Place openxcom.nro file to the root of this folder.
Look up UFO/README.txt and TFTD/README.txt in this folder, and place data accordingly.
Launch game in NON-applet mode to avoid memory insufficiency.
(OPTIONAL: if you want to create forwarder DO NOT USE video capture - it causes CPU Boost bug after closing app.)
