Sonic R NX v0.1.0

Initial Nintendo Switch release of Sonic R NX, an unofficial Switch port of the open-source [Sonic R reimplementation](https://github.com/jnmartin84/sonic-r) by jnmartin84.

Online Play

Full native matchmaking is not yet available on the Nintendo Switch version.

However, the Switch can connect directly to a PC host using its IP address, including over the internet if the PC host is reachable on UDP port 7847.

Because of this, PC ↔ Switch internet cross-play is partially supported, although the Switch currently cannot independently sign into the upstream matchmaking service.

Installation

Copy:

sonicr.nro

to:

sdmc:/switch/sonic-r/

You must provide your own legally owned Sonic R game data.

See the repository README for the required folder structure and setup instructions.

Notes

  • This release intentionally uses the original 30 Hz gameplay simulation for stability.
  • Experimental 60 FPS support was tested during development but is not included in this release.
  • PC and Switch players should use compatible builds and matching game data for multiplayer.
  • No original Sonic R assets are included.
