Changes

  • rebuilt with latest libnx/dka64;
  • increased deadzone to compensate for stick drift a little bit.

Installation and running

Unzip the attached ZIP file into the switch folder on your SD card.

If you already have an OpenMW install on your PC:

  1. Copy your openmw.cfg into /switch/openmw/config/ (for Windows users: it's in Documents/My Games/OpenMW).
  2. Copy your data files (esm, esp, bsa) into /switch/openmw/data/.

If you don't, but you own Morrowind:

  1. Install Morrowind.
  2. Copy the Data Files folder and Morrowind.ini file from your Morrowind installation into /switch/openmw/data/.

Then run OpenMW from hbmenu.

Known issues

  • Exiting the game using the HOME button during a loading screen will crash it.
  • Cursor sometimes displays when it shouldn't.
  • Performance isn't very good.
  • User accounts that have non-ASCII characters in the name will be treated as an absence of user account (i.e. your saves will go into global).

Notes

  • You have to run this from either NSP hbmenu or from a game override. Applet mode does not offer enough memory.
  • Press MINUS to bring up the software keyboard when an input field is selected.
  • Click LSTICK to enable/disable gamepad cursor control.
  • This has only been tested with the English release of Morrowind GOTY Edition. Mods should probably work, however you'll have to either edit your openmw.cfg manually or use openmw-launcher on PC, then copy the config file over.
  • If the game crashes, check /switch/openmw/fatal.log and /switch/openmw/config/openmw.log.
