You must own the game to play and have a Switch capable of running unsigned code, so you need a Switch running on custom firmware to run the port. Needless to say, this is not an official effort from Interplay or Bethesda.
- Purchase your copy on GOG or Steam. The files need to be from a Windows installation (I think.)
- Download the latest release or build from the source. See YAML pipelines for reference.
- Drag the installation files into a new folder called
fallout2in yourswitchfolder on the root of your SD card. - Put the necessary executable in your
switchfolder on the root of your SD card, either.nroor.nso.
Note: Any Fallout 2 saves, CE or not, should work on this port. However, I'm not responsible if your save somehow corrupts!
- Basic touchscreen support is implemented.
- On-screen keyboard support implemented for names and saves.
- Cursor Sensitivity: Adjustable in options via mouse sensitivity. Note this will affect cursor speedup as well.
- Resolution: You can configure resolution and scaling through a config file. Create a file in your
fallout2folder calledfallout2_nx.ini- It needs to follow the following structure:
[MAIN]
SCR_WIDTH=1708
SCR_HEIGHT=960
SCALE_2X=1
; Change resolution and determine scaling. SCALE_2X=1 will turn 2x scaling on. SCALE_2X=0 will turn it off.
[IFACE]
IFACE_BAR_MODE=0
IFACE_BAR_WIDTH=800
IFACE_BAR_SIDE_ART=1
IFACE_BAR_SIDES_ORI=0
; I wouldn't change these if you don't know what you're doing. Related to the interface bar.`If you encounter any issues, please create an issue ticket, and I'll look into it when I have time. Other contributors are welcome to assist in solving and fixing issues if interested.
