TAS (tool-assisted speedrun or tool-assisted superplay) for the Nintendo Switch.

nx-TAS is fundamentally different than its predecessor, TAS-nx, in that it uses a virtual controller to send inputs instead of changing the inputs of the currently used controller.

Note: NX-TAS is depreciated, check out tas-script.

Installation

You need to have an Atmosphere-injected Switch to use this.

Acquire nx-TAS.nsp either from the latest release, or more preferably build yourself via the instructions here

Create the relevant title directory on your Switch's SD card at:

  • sdmc:/atmosphere/titles/0100000000000cab/ on Atmosphere 0.9.4 or earlier.
  • sdmc:/atmosphere/contents/0100000000000cab on Atmosphere 0.10.0 or newer.

Place the NSP as:

  • sdmc:/atmosphere/titles/0100000000000cab/exefs.nsp on Atmosphere 0.9.4 or earlier.
  • sdmc:/atmosphere/contents/0100000000000cab/exefs.nsp on Atmosphere 0.10.0 or newer.

Create an empty file at:

  • sdmc:/atmosphere/titles/0100000000000cab/flags/boot2.flag on Atmosphere 0.9.4 or earlier.
  • sdmc:/atmosphere/contents/0100000000000cab/flags/boot2.flag on Atmosphere 0.10.0 or newer.
