This is a Nintendo Switch version of the 1998 game SiN, based on the Dominatrix port. You'll need the original game files from Steam, GOG, or the original CD to play. The expansion pack "Wages of SiN" is not supported yet.
Usage
To install, put the game's base/ folder inside a new folder in /switch/. Then unzip dominatrix-switch-v1.2.zip into the same folder (the file sin.nro should end up next to the base/ folder, not inside it). This will overwrite default.cfg and add a default control: pressing (L) opens the weapon selection menu. You can also customize this button in the "Extra Settings" menu at the bottom of "Game Options". Saved games are stored in the base/ folder.

Known Issues
Performance is decent, but the frame rate may drop when lighting changes. Still, the game should be fully playable.
Changelog
v1.2 (02/04/2025)
- Nintendo Switch port! Note that the Switch port currently only supports the base campaign, not Wages of SiN.
- New OpenGL 3.2 renderer. This was mostly created to enable the Switch port, and probably won't be of much use to desktop users, unless some future version of Windows or Linux distro removes their GL1 driver. It can be enabled in the Video Settings menu. You must restart the game when switching renderers.
- Fix cl_maxfps behavior. If you previously set this to a low value before this update, you may find your FPS to be too low. Set this cvar back to 60 to restore FPS. This may also help with stuttering when playing with FPS values that are too high.
- Add option to change cl_maxfps in Extra Settings menu.
- Add option to bind radial weapon menu in Extra Settings menu. Note: The radial weapon is already defaulted to the LB gamepad button in default.cfg, which is loaded every time the game is started. If you don't want this, remove the "+radial_weapons" line in default.cfg.
- Fix dialog not playing when playing SiN campaign in Wages of SiN mode.
- Improve input handling in weapon radial menu.
- Mouse sensitivity now affects gamepad sensitivity.
- Increase hardcoded CMD_BACKUP size from 64 to 256. This may improve stuttering when running at a very high framerate.
v1.1 (01/08/2024)
- Portable mode. Added a new cvar (portable) for storing saves, configs and screenshots in the game's directory like in the original release. To enable, launch sin with +set portable 1.
- An attempt at fixing user settings not being saved when using a Windows account with special characters. Also created a new console command, usercfg, which is mostly an alias for "exec <the player's user.cfg>"
- The "locale" cvar is now used when displaying menu and dialog language when using the Night Dive release of SiN.
- Crosshairs now scale with the rest of the menu graphics.
- Menu type sounds in the menu now play at a better speed.
- Fix demos not playing.
- MOUSE4 and MOUSE5 can now be used in the bindings menu.
- New menu section. Added a new menu for the user to control additional settings. You can access this menu by going to the "Game Options" menu and selecting the last item - "Dominatrix Extra Settings..."
- New cvar - charsize. This now controls the size of text of the in-game console. By default, it is set to 16, but it can go from 8 (original size) to 32.
- New cvar - con_ui_scale. This controls the scaling of the HUD and menu graphics.
- FOV slider.
v1.0 (11/06/2023)
- First Release.
