First release of sh4-nx: Silent Hill 4: The Room, recompiled for the Nintendo Switch. It's early: expect bugs.

What's in it

  • A native NRO, not an emulator: the PC game's executable statically recompiled to ARM64, with Direct3D 8,
    DirectSound and DirectInput reimplemented on SDL2 and OpenGL, and the movies played through FFmpeg.
  • Launcher: after a warning screen, Play and Options come before the game, with the game's own menu sounds.
    Options sets the resolution and the game threads, and saves them to sh4.ini.
  • Controller: the left stick moves, the right stick turns the camera; A confirms, B cancels.

Known issues

  • Only the beginning of the game has been played through so far: crashes and graphics bugs further on are likely.
  • If it crashes, sh4-crash.log is written next to the NRO: please attach it to an issue, with your save folder if
    you can.

Install

  1. Put sh4-nx.nro in /switch/sh4-nx/ on the SD card, together with SILENT HILL 4.exe and the data, demo,
    movie and sound folders from your own PC copy of Silent Hill 4 (the GOG release), and an empty save folder.
  2. Launch it from the homebrew menu in title takeover mode (hold R while starting an installed game), not from the
    album.

No game files are included.
