Ferris-AO Switch v1.05

Ferris-AO Switch — v1.05

First stable release. A Nintendo Switch homebrew client for
Attorney Online 2. Connect to any standard AO2
server, pick a character, and play — characters, backgrounds, music and sound all
stream from the server, so there is nothing to pre-download.

Runs as a single .nro on real modded hardware (Atmosphère) and on the Ryujinx
emulator — the same binary.

Fixed in this release

• Music plays. BGM is now decoded up front and played through the mixer's
  working channel path. The streaming-music path is silent on the Switch's
  SDL2_mixer build, so Opus tracks (the AO norm) came out silent before.
• Blips & SFX play. Opus sound effects are decoded directly with libopusfile
  (the bundled mixer mis-detects Opus as Vorbis and dropped them).
• Audio opens at the Switch's native 48 kHz (opening at 44.1 kHz played as
  silence, worst on Ryujinx).
• No more crash on disconnect/kick. A packet-buffer bug crashed the client
  whenever a server dropped it mid-message (e.g. an Akashi "you are sending
  messages too quickly" kick). Fixed.

Install — modded Switch (Atmosphère)

Copy ferris-ao-switch.nro to /switch/ on your SD card and launch it from the
Homebrew Menu. No firmware keys, title install, or base pack required.

Running on Ryujinx

Check these three settings — otherwise you get no network, no typing, or no sound:

• Internet access ON — Options → Settings → System → Enable Internet Access.
  Required to reach servers and stream assets.
• Keyboard input ON — Options → Settings → Input → Enable Keyboard. Lets you
  type into IC/OOC with your computer keyboard.
• Audio Backend not Dummy — Options → Settings → Audio → Audio Backend →
  SDL3 (or SoundIO / OpenAL). Dummy produces no sound for any game.

Then load the .nro via File → Load Application from File…
