@shirai91 shirai91 released this 27 Oct 11:29

Adds Hades II, with fixes in the Android graphics backend that other games benefit from too.

Get started

  1. Download nx2android-v0.1.1-windows-x64.zip below, unzip it (a short path such as C:\nx2android is best) and start nx2android.exe. Windows may warn about an unknown app: More info → Run anyway.
  2. Setup tab: click Download missing tools. It fetches the Android NDK, the .NET SDK and platform-tools (about 1 GB) from Google and Microsoft. Then set your prod.keys.
  3. Port tab: choose the folder with the game's NSP or XCI files (base game, update, DLC) and click Port.

The full guide is INSTALL.md, which is also in the zip. Already on v0.1.0? Unzip this one in its place; your settings, keys and tools stay.

Games

Game Version Plays on the Lenovo Legion Y700
Graveyard Keeper 2 1.0.4 + DLC playable, 30 fps
Hades II (new) 1.0 (v655360) playable, 60 fps
NEO: The World Ends with You 1.03 + 2 DLC playable, about 60 fps
Unpacking 2.01 playable by touch, 60 fps
Viractal: Will You Trust Your Party? 1.4.5 playable
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 2.2.0 + 4 DLC work in progress: some effects and models do not draw yet

This bundle ported Hades II from scratch on a clean Windows setup; the other games were checked with v0.1.0's bundles (docs/PORT_STATUS.md).

Before you start

  • Your own files only. You need the game's files and prod.keys dumped from your own Switch. The tool never ships or downloads either, and ported APKs must not be shared: they contain the game.
  • GPU: Adreno (Snapdragon) or Xclipse (Exynos 2200 and later). Mali and PowerVR cannot run these games.
  • NSZ files must be decompressed to NSP first.

New in this release

  • Hades II (update 1.0): the title, saves, the Crossroads and runs with combat, at 60 fps as on the Switch.
  • Text and pictures the game draws from the CPU into linear textures now show (Hades II's text, title art and movies were blank).
  • Lights no longer flicker or go out in turn: two fixes for Adreno's early depth culling.
  • The frame rate no longer drops to 40 fps after a loading screen (fights in Hades II began at 40).
