sh4-nx v0.1

First release: Silent Hill 4: The Room running natively on a Switch, in widescreen (1280x720 by default).

You need the GOG PC version of the game. This NRO contains no game data; it runs with your own copy's files next to it.

Install

1. Make /switch/sh4-nx/ on your SD card and put sh4-nx.nro in it.
2. From your GOG install, copy SILENT HILL 4.exe there, renamed to sh4.exe. Also copy input.ini, sh4_caps.dat, and the data, demo and sound folders. movie is optional (the FMVs are skipped for now).
3. Make an empty save folder next to them.
4. Launch it from the homebrew menu in title takeover mode (hold R while starting an installed game), not from the album.

tools/make_sd.py in the repository lays out the folder for you. The README shows how to put it on the home screen with an NSP forwarder.

Options

You can add an sh4.ini next to the NRO:

• resolution=WxH sets the screen size. A 4:3 size such as 640x480 turns widescreen off.
• log=1 writes sh4.log.

If the game crashes, attach sh4-crash.log and sh4.log to an issue.

Known issues

• FMVs are skipped.
