**MTP tip (esp. macOS clients):** OpenMTP/Finder often creates AppleDouble sidecars named `._Something.zip` / `._cart.gb` / `._foo.sav`. Those are not real archives, ROMs, or saves — the launcher ignores hidden `.*` names under `imports/`, `imports/mods/`, and `imports/saves/<game>/`. If install still fails with “could not be opened” / “not a zip file”, delete any `._*` under the inbox and confirm the real zip starts with the `PK` magic (re-copy the release asset if unsure). This is a host-side annoyance of the current manual MTP loop, not something players should need forever.

There is **no** Joy-Con chord for VoxelMod **`8` (3D-BTL)** or **`9` (WATER)** — change those in **OPTIONS** (see below).
Keys `2` / `3` / `4` / `5` are claimed by the engine before mod pipeline hotkeys run, so a community mod cannot rebind those digits through `Pipelines.hotkey`. Mods that need their own controls should use OPTIONS rows or unclaimed hotkeys.
Without Select held, face buttons keep normal GB A/B gameplay mapping (no accidental color/tilt cycles). The **Options** menu remains available for the same settings — chords are optional shortcuts, not the only path.
On NX, A/B chords resolve through the Nintendo UX face remap so physical **A** → key `2` and physical **B** → key `3` match this table.
## VoxelMod on Switch (options + performance)
**OPTIONS → PERFORMANCE** clamps the port’s own extras (TILT / GBC FX / survey ZOOM) and can cap FPS — useful on weaker handheld budgets. Details: [new-features.md — Performance tier](new-features.md#performance-tier-low-end-devices).
[DramaticShape VoxelMod](https://github.com/DramaticShape/DramaticShapeVoxelMod) is a heavy presentational mod (3D overworld, optional water shader, 3D battles). It runs on Switch OLED smoke (NXMOD-12), but weaker handheld budgets benefit from dialing options down. Everything below is **purely visual** — no gameplay rules change.
### VoxelMod OPTIONS rows
| OPTIONS row | PC key | Values | Notes |
| ----------- | ------ | ------ | ----- |
| **VOXEL** | `3` / Select+B | OFF → 15 → 35 → 50 → 75 → OFF | Camera pitch over the diorama |
| **V-GRID** | `5` / Select+Y | OFF / ON | One-pixel wireframe on every voxel |
| **T-SHIFT** | `6` / Select+X | OFF → 1 → 2 → 3 → OFF | Miniature tilt-shift blur |
| **V-CURVE** | `7` / Select+L | OFF → 1 → 2 → 3 | Bend the world over the horizon |
| **3D-BTL** | `8` (Options only) | ON / OFF | Fight on the map instead of a white field; **ON by default**, independent of VOXEL pitch |
| **WATER** | `9` (Options only) | FULL / SKY / OFF | Waves + reflections. **FULL** = screen-space ray march (heaviest); **SKY** = sky/sun/moon/cast only; **OFF** = disable water shader |
| **BACK SPRITES** | Options only | OFF / ON | Own Pokémon as classic back sprite on the battle menu; only shown while **3D-BTL** is on |
| **DAYTIME** | Options only | SYNC / DAY / NIGHT / DUSK / DAWN / CYCLE | Outdoor lighting; held at SYNC (and off the menu) while VOXEL is FULL |
While VoxelMod is installed it **hides and forces off** the engine’s **TILT** and **GBC FX** rows (those conflict with the diorama). Uninstall restores them to their last saved values.
Upstream control table: [DramaticShape README](https://github.com/DramaticShape/DramaticShapeVoxelMod/blob/master/README.md).
### Suggested Switch profile (smoother handheld)
Priority order if the game feels heavy with VoxelMod enabled:
1. **WATER** → **`OFF`** (or at most **`SKY`**; avoid **`FULL`** on Switch)
2. **3D-BTL** → **`OFF`** (biggest win after water; battles go back to the stock field)
3. **T-SHIFT** → **`OFF`**
4. **V-CURVE** → **`OFF`**
5. **V-GRID** → **`OFF`**
6. **BACK SPRITES** → **`OFF`** if 3D-BTL is still on
7. **DAYTIME** → prefer **`SYNC`** (or a fixed time); avoid **`CYCLE`**
Keep **VOXEL** at a modest pitch (e.g. **35** or **50**) if you want the 3D look without stacking every extra pass.
### Engine PERFORMANCE tier
Separately from the mod, **OPTIONS → PERFORMANCE** clamps the port’s own extras (TILT / GBC FX / survey ZOOM) and can cap FPS. On Switch with VoxelMod, set **PERFORMANCE → LOW** (or **BALANCED**) if the handheld still stutters after the VoxelMod rows above are dialed down.

2. **3D-BTL** → `OFF`
3. **T-SHIFT** / **V-CURVE** / **V-GRID** → `OFF`
4. **DAYTIME** → `SYNC` (avoid `CYCLE`)
5. Engine **PERFORMANCE** → `LOW` or `BALANCED`
