OpenTrickyNX Builder: build without typing commands

2026-10-22 15_10_44-OpenTrickyNX Builder

This release adds a window that does the whole Windows build for you. Download Source code (zip) below, extract it to a short folder such as C:\OpenTrickyNX, and double-click OpenTrickyNX Builder.bat.

The window takes you through four steps, one button each:

  1. Install the tools (once). It downloads and sets up everything the build needs: MSYS2 with Python, WSL and Docker Desktop, the Switch compiler and the Vulkan driver files. Windows asks for permission twice, and you restart once after Docker is installed.
  2. Your game. Pick the .iso of your own SSX Tricky (USA) Xbox disc, and choose Vulkan (recommended) or OpenGL.
  3. Build. It builds SSX Tricky.nro, showing each step as it goes. It adjusts to your PC's memory so the build doesn't stall. The first build takes 20 to 40 minutes; later ones only redo what changed.
  4. Copy to the SD card. Pick the card's drive. It copies the game and its settings file, and unpacks your disc's files straight into switch/opentricky/game, so you no longer need extract-xiso.

An optional part makes the home-menu icon (.nsp) from your prod.keys and any picture.

New to this? [docs/windows-guide.md](https://github.com/DevCrashDay/OpenTrickyNX/blob/main/docs/windows-guide.md) walks through every step, says where each file goes, and covers what to do when something goes wrong.

Also new

  • The README is updated for this release: Vulkan tested at about 60 fps in races, the PowerShell build steps, settings and known issues.
  • The Vulkan driver files (Mesa NVK, MIT licensed) are now a normal download on the [nvk-sdk release](https://github.com/DevCrashDay/OpenTrickyNX/releases/tag/nvk-sdk), with no GitHub login needed.
  • extract_iso.py --all copies a whole disc image, checking that there is enough free space first.

As before

You need your own SSX Tricky (USA) Xbox disc. This release is source only: no game files, translated code or built .nro are included. What you build contains code from your copy of the game, so keep it to yourself.

Please report problems in [Issues](https://github.com/DevCrashDay/OpenTrickyNX/issues), with the log from build\windows\ (for building) or SSX Tricky.log from the SD card (for the game).
