Nintendo Switch development (love-nx)

Fused NRO support for issue #531. Releases ship gen1recomp-*-switch.zip (SD-ready tree). Console copy is extract/merge at microSD root; title override required. See Known limitations.

Canonical install / build / transfer docs (start here unless you need hardware depth):

• Players → switch-install.md
• Builders → switch-build.md (scripts/build_switch.sh --fetch downloads the pinned love-nx pair)
• Transfer (MTP / SD / FTP on macOS, Linux, Windows) → switch-transfer.md

This document covers what landed, known limitations, how hardware was tested, vendor layout, build/deploy, and the contributor transfer loop (detail lives in the transfer runbook).

Status

Area	State
Feature	Available — playable fused NRO path (issue #531)
Runtime	Pinned love-nx 11.5-nx1
Product artifact	Releases: SD-ready gen1recomp-*-switch.zip; local/PR: fused .nro; loose nro+game.love for iteration
Hardware	OLED validated (author, title override); V1 / Erista boot confirmed (community). Lite, docked soak, and Pro Controller matrices welcome
Deploy / install	Releases publish SD-ready zip; extract/merge at microSD root (MTP / SD / FTP — switch-transfer.md); no nxlink path yet
Contributor transfer	Documented for macOS, Linux, and Windows; OpenMTP on Mac is one example, not the only contract
Network features on NX	Self-update / remote mod download disabled (networkValidated == false)
Community help	Welcome — especially HOS / love-nx packaging and broader hardware coverage

What landed

• Detect NX via src/core/Platform.lua without reusing Android flags
• Writable ROM inbox under getSaveDirectory()/imports/ + per-tab “Scan again” (SHA-1 match for the open game)
• Joy-Con / gamepad mapping shared by launcher and gameplay (Nintendo A/B UX on NX)
• Launcher L/R tab switch; gameplay L/R game-speed cycle; Select+face display chords
• Focus loss / joystick reconnect recovery; opt-in switch-debug.txt diagnostics
• Loose assemble + fused NRO build scripts (scripts/build_switch.sh, scripts/switch/*)
• Payload gates so ROM / generated cache / saves never enter game.love
• Community mod zip inbox at imports/mods/ (rescan installs; FIND MODS stays network-gated)
• Raw .sav inbox at imports/saves/{red,blue,yellow}/ (Import save rescan) + export pull path exports/{red,blue,yellow}/ (MTP hint; no openURL)
• Hardware evidence for Phase 0 probe, ROM import, naming A/B, save/suspend, fused NRO — see docs/switch-hardware-evidence.md
• Path-gated CI selftest + canonical fused PR artifact; release Switch hard-fail
• Save editor pad/touch input (virtual cursor, A click, B close) — see tools/save-editor/README.md
• Dynamic display size on NX only: handheld 1280×720, docked/TV 1920×1080 (src/core/NxDisplay.lua + resizable conf so love-nx SDL can follow dock/undock at runtime)

Known gaps / welcome contributions

• Docked vs handheld soak (≥30 min) and Lite coverage — resolution switch is implemented; long soak still welcome
• Switch Lite and fuller Pro Controller / third-party pad matrices
• Applet Mode remains unsupported by design (title override required)
• nxlink / netloader contrib fast-loop (deferred — see switch-transfer.md)

Transfer runbooks for Linux/Windows (and SD/FTP alternatives) are in switch-transfer.md. Community mod zip install OLED smoke is pass — see NXMOD-12 in switch-hardware-evidence.md.

Design references (Dusklight)

This work borrowed method — not the native stack — from the Dusklight Switch port, especially LESSONS_AND_REUSE.md:

Dusklight lesson	How Gen1Recomp applied it
Emulators hide Tegra failures	Gate milestones on real OLED hardware, not Ryujinx/Yuzu alone
Prove the lower layer first	tools/switch-probe before full launcher
Know which binary ran	Embedded build-info.json (commit / love-nx tag)
Cap continuous logs	Opt-in diagnostics, ≤1 Hz flush; Lua error log rotation
Crash symbolization needs the exact ELF	Keep pinned love.elf with the NRO under test
Full memory matters	Title override; Applet Mode is not the validation path
Do not treat SD FS like desktop POSIX	Lua stays on love.filesystem; inbox + MTP for user files
Isolate platform code	Capability module instead of Android flag overload
NVK / WSI / audren stacks	Not copied — love-nx already supplies video/audio/input/FS

The packaging goal matches Dusklight’s single self-contained .nro; contributor transfer stays multi-host (not Mac-only).

Known limitations (read before reviewing)

1. Transfer is manual and multi-method. Runtime only needs files under the LÖVE save directory / NRO install folder. Use MTP, direct SD, or FTP per switch-transfer.md. macOS + OpenMTP is a documented example for OLED evidence — not “Switch requires a Mac.”
2. Deploy is manual. There is no automated push to the console and no nxlink path yet. Operators build locally, transfer files, then title-override launch.
3. Hardware coverage. Author P0/P1 pass rows were recorded on one Switch OLED; Switch V1 boot was confirmed independently. Treat Lite, docked soak, and other hosts as unknown until someone re-runs the checklist.
4. No ROM/save/mod zip bytes in git. Legal dumps and third-party mods stay on the console (or local untracked folders).
5. AppleDouble sidecars (._*) from some MTP clients can break zip/ROM/.sav scans — the launcher skips hidden .* names (including ._*.sav); still prefer clean copies.

How we tested

Layer	What	Where
Unit / headless	Platform NX flags, RomImporter inbox, dual-path input, mod zip inbox, save .sav inbox, display chords, payload/self-tests	tests/*, scripts/test.sh
Switch CI / packaging	Path-gated offline selftest (selftest_build_switch.sh, verify_payload.sh --self-test, switch_ci_workflows_test.lua); canonical fused PR artifact	.github/workflows/ci.yml, switch-build.md § CI and release
Probe on hardware	getOS()==NX, 1280×720, save path, Joy-Con events	tools/switch-probe → OLED
Integration on hardware	MTP inbox ROM import, Play Red/Blue, naming A/B, quit/reopen save, suspend×10, reboot, fused NRO alone + NRO-only update	docs/switch-hardware-evidence.md
Community hardware	Switch V1 / Erista boot with prebuilt NRO	booshankles — see evidence log
Known gaps	Docked soak, ≥30 min long-play, Lite, automated/nxlink deploy	Matrix deferred / absent rows

Operator evidence must stay in docs/switch-hardware-evidence.md. Do not invent passes for hardware not run.

love-nx 11.5-nx1 (pinned)

Tag: 11.5-nx1

Local layout (not committed):

.bazinga/love-nx/11.5-nx1/
├── love.nro    # homebrew launcher binary (loose mode: copied to gen1recomp.nro)
└── love.elf    # required for fused NRO builds (devkitPro nacptool/elf2nro)

Manifest: scripts/switch/love-nx-11.5-nx1.sha256 lists expected artifact names and SHA-256 checksums. Checksums are filled when binaries are fetched (TBD_* placeholders until then).

Fetch instructions

Preferred (automated checksum verify):

scripts/build_switch.sh --fetch

That downloads pinned love.nro + love.elf into .bazinga/love-nx/11.5-nx1/ and checks them against scripts/switch/love-nx-11.5-nx1.sha256. See switch-build.md for the full mode glossary.

Manual fallback:

1. Open the 11.5-nx1 release and download love.nro and love.elf.

2. Create the directory: mkdir -p .bazinga/love-nx/11.5-nx1

3. Move both files into that directory.

4. Confirm checksums match the manifest:

   shasum -a 256 .bazinga/love-nx/11.5-nx1/love.nro \
     .bazinga/love-nx/11.5-nx1/love.elf
   

Never commit love-nx binaries, ROM dumps, or generated cache into git. The repo .gitignore excludes .bazinga/ (vendor cache) and /dist/ (build output).

Loose-mode dist layout

Development builds place gen1recomp.nro and game.love side by side:

dist/switch/loose/
├── gen1recomp.nro
└── game.love

Assemble with:

scripts/build_switch.sh --loose

(See scripts/switch/assemble_loose.sh for the underlying copy + checksum step.)

Transfer & deploy (current contributor loop)

Detail for macOS / Linux / Windows and MTP / SD / FTP lives in switch-transfer.md. Summary:

Layer	Intent
Runtime / players	Extract the release zip at microSD root (switch/gen1recomp/) and land ROMs/mods under the save-dir inboxes. The game does not hard-depend on OpenMTP or macOS.
Contributor loop	Manual copy via MTP (DBI responder), direct SD (Hekate UMS / reader), or FTP. Fully manual — no CI deploy, no nxlink yet.

The Mac + OpenMTP steps that remain below are the OLED evidence reproduction path; prefer the transfer runbook for day-to-day contrib on other hosts.

Still avoided for routine evidence (keeps SD handling honest):

• Treating nxlink / netloader as the release deploy story (deferred)
• DBI MicroSD install / NAND install / NSP-style virtual folders for the .love/.nro pair

If MTP fails: check cable, USB port, DBI state, and that only one MTP client holds the device — then retry or switch to SD/FTP. Do not silently rewrite evidence using an untested path and claim parity with recorded SHA-256 round-trips.

Manual deploy checklist (today)

1. Build on the contributor host (scripts/build_switch.sh --loose or fused).
2. Close Gen1Recomp on the Switch; open DBI → Run MTP responder.
3. Copy artifacts with your MTP client into 1: SD Card/switch/gen1recomp/ (and ROMs/mods into the save-dir inboxes when needed).
4. Wait for the transfer queue; refresh; optionally round-trip SHA-256 on first artifacts of a type.
5. Exit MTP; launch via title override (hold R on a title → hbmenu, not Applet Mode).

OpenMTP + DBI transfer (loose build, Mac evidence example)

Full multi-OS / multi-method steps: switch-transfer.md. The numbered Mac loop below reproduces the OLED evidence path.

On the Switch

1. Close Gen1Recomp if it is running.
2. Open DBI from hbmenu.
3. Select Run MTP responder (DBI documents X on the main screen).
4. Keep DBI on that screen for the entire transfer.
5. Connect the Switch to the Mac with a USB-C data cable.

On the Mac

1. Close any other MTP clients.

2. Open OpenMTP and select the DBI device.

3. In the remote pane, open 1: SD Card.

4. Navigate to switch/ and create gen1recomp/ if needed.

5. Enter 1: SD Card/switch/gen1recomp/.

6. Drag from the local pane:

   dist/switch/loose/gen1recomp.nro
   dist/switch/loose/game.love
   

7. Wait for the OpenMTP queue to finish completely.

8. Refresh the remote listing and confirm file sizes match the local files.

9. On the Switch, exit MTP responder normally in DBI before launching the app.

Expected layout on SD:

1: SD Card/
└── switch/
    └── gen1recomp/
        ├── gen1recomp.nro
        └── game.love

Round-trip SHA-256 verification

For the first deploy of each artifact type (loose pair, later fused NRO), verify MTP integrity:

1. Before send — record local hashes:

   shasum -a 256 dist/switch/loose/gen1recomp.nro \
     dist/switch/loose/game.love
   

2. After send — in OpenMTP, copy the same files from 1: SD Card/switch/gen1recomp/ back to an empty local folder, e.g. dist/switch/mtp-roundtrip/.

3. Compare round-trip hashes:

   shasum -a 256 dist/switch/mtp-roundtrip/gen1recomp.nro \
     dist/switch/mtp-roundtrip/game.love
   

4. Local pre-send and round-trip hashes must match. Record results in the test report template below.

Repeat whenever a cable glitch or interrupted transfer is suspected.

Title override launch (full memory)

Applet Mode is not the primary validation path. Use title override so hbmenu runs with full memory:

1. Confirm the OpenMTP transfer queue finished.
2. Exit MTP responder in DBI; disconnect USB if desired.
3. Hold R while launching any legitimately installed title.
4. Keep holding until hbmenu appears.
5. Confirm hbmenu does not show Applet Mode.
6. Launch gen1recomp (or the probe NRO during Phase 0).

Album / applet launches are only useful to document applet-specific limitations; P0/P1 gates use title override.

Fast dev loop (loose mode)

While iterating on Lua/assets:

1. Edit on Mac; run scripts/test.sh --quick.
2. Rebuild .bazinga/work/game.love (scripts/build.sh mac --no-notarize or project pack step).
3. Close Gen1Recomp on Switch.
4. DBI → Run MTP responder.
5. OpenMTP → 1: SD Card/switch/gen1recomp/.
6. Replace only game.love; wait for queue + refresh listing.
7. Exit MTP responder; launch via title override.
8. Keep gen1recomp.nro unchanged until the love-nx pin changes.

scripts/test.sh --quick
scripts/build.sh mac --no-notarize
scripts/build_switch.sh --loose
shasum -a 256 .bazinga/work/game.love

Controller input mapping (NX)

Measured on Switch OLED (feat/switch-nx, love-nx 11.5-nx1, 1280×720). Both joystickpressed and gamepadpressed fire for Joy-Con; prefer the gamepad path when joystick:isGamepad() is true.

Path	Control	Mapping
gamepadpressed	D-pad / left stick	move
gamepadpressed	SDL a / b on NX	swapped via NX_GAMEPAD_BINDINGS: physical A (east) = GB A confirm, physical B (south) = GB B cancel
gamepadpressed	SDL a / b on desktop	identity (SDL south = GB A)
gamepadpressed	start / back	Start / Select (+ / −)
gamepadpressed	Right / left shoulder (no Select)	Cycle game speed up / down (same as PC hotkey 1 / speed-down path)
joystickpressed (raw)	only if not isGamepad()	face/menu fallback
joystickpressed (raw)	#1 / #2 on NX	Nintendo B / A → GB B / A
joystickpressed (raw)	#9 / #10	Select / Start (− / +)

Nintendo UX on Switch: physical A confirms, physical B cancels (explicit NX remap of SDL face labels).

Launcher extras (RomImporter): physical A clicks at the virtual cursor; L / R switch tabs; Start / Select start Play when a ROM is ready (else open Choose ROM). D-pad / left stick move the virtual cursor.

Dual-path rule: love-nx emits both gamepadpressed and joystickpressed for Joy-Con. When joystick:isGamepad() is true, Input and RomImporter ignore raw face/menu so NamingScreen does not see A+B in one frame. NamingScreen also prefers A over B if both edges still fire.

Implementation: src/core/GamepadMap.lua (NX_RAW_*, ignoreRawForJoystick, displayChordDigit), src/core/Game.lua (shoulder speed), src/import/RomImporter.lua (launcher tabs). Launcher and gameplay share the same converter.

ROM inbox (NX)

Legal dumps land in a shared MTP inbox; Scan again is tab-scoped:

Item	Value
Save-relative path	imports/ (also accepts loose .gb/.gbc at the save-dir root)
MTP destination	1: SD Card/<save identity>/imports/ (see launcher notice for the live getSaveDirectory() path)
Candidates	*.gb / *.gbc (hidden .* AppleDouble names skipped)
Rescan	Game tab → Scan again — imports only the dump whose SHA-1 matches that tab (GameVersion.forSha1). Other known dumps stay for their own tabs
Already ready	Same SHA already imported → “No new ROM found.”

Players may drop Red, Blue, and Yellow into the same folder. Opening Yellow and pressing Scan again must not start a Red import.

Mod zip inbox (NX)

Community mods install from a separate MTP inbox (not mixed into the ROM imports/ scan):

Item	Value
Save-relative path	imports/mods/
MTP destination	1: SD Card/<save identity>/imports/mods/ (see launcher notice for the live getSaveDirectory() path)
Candidates	*.zip only
Rescan	MODS tab → Scan again (installs each zip via LauncherMods.installZip; source zips are retained on success and failure)
FIND MODS	Remains network-gated / hidden on NX (networkValidated == false)

Do not commit third-party mod zip bytes into git. Drop the zip over MTP, rescan, enable in MODS, then Play.

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.

Drop any community release .zip into imports/mods/, rescan, enable. Player-facing install steps: switch-install.md. Mods own their OPTIONS / rebinds — do not duplicate third-party control tables here.

Save .sav inbox (NX)

Raw Gen1 battery images use a separate MTP inbox (not mixed into ROM imports/ or mod imports/mods/):

Item	Value
Save-relative path	imports/saves/red/, imports/saves/blue/, imports/saves/yellow/
MTP destination	1: SD Card/<save identity>/imports/saves/<game>/ (see launcher notice for the live getSaveDirectory() path)
Candidates	non-hidden *.sav only in that game’s folder
Rescan	SAVE FILES → Import save on the matching game tab (scans only that folder)
After success	Retire to *.sav.imported + append content hash to imports/saves/<game>/.imported-sha1
Exports	Export save writes under exports/<game>/gen1recomp-<game>-<slot>.sav; NX shows an MTP path notice (no openURL)

Do not commit .sav bytes into git. Drop the file into the matching game folder over MTP, press Import save on that tab, then play. Pull exports from exports/<game>/.

MTP tip: the same AppleDouble ._*.sav rule applies — see the mod inbox tip above.

Joy-Con display chords (Select + face)

PC digit hotkeys for COLORS / TILT / GBC FX / pipelines have Joy-Con equivalents. Hold Select (back / −) and press a face/shoulder button; the engine runs the same path as Game:keypressed for that digit (including writeOptions / Pipelines parity).

Chord (Nintendo UX)	Engine key	Stock engine effect
Select + A	2	COLORS cycle
Select + B	3	TILT / perspective
Select + Y	5	GBC FX
Select + X	6	Mod pipeline hotkey (if registered)
Select + L (left shoulder)	7	Mod pipeline hotkey (if registered)

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.

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.

Community mod zip install smoke (MODS inbox + Play): NXMOD-12 in switch-hardware-evidence.md.

Opt-in diagnostics: create an empty switch-debug.txt in the save directory; events flush to switch.log at ≤1 Hz with build identity (no ROM/save bytes).

NX asset probe (always on Play): every Switch Play writes nx-asset-probe.log in the save directory (pokemon-love2d/). It lists whether assets/generated/… vs yellow|blue/assets/generated/… exist, what Assets.resolve returns, and whether newImage / newImageData open — for Yellow/Blue blank-sprite triage. No ROM bytes.

Hardware re-test: T16 pass @ 2699c9a (naming A=confirm / B=cancel). T19 pass (quit/reopen, suspend×10, reboot) — operator 2026-08-01.

Suspend/resume audio: after resume, chip music is stopped to avoid duplicate streams; confirm on hardware during P0-09/10 (T19).

Lua error log (save directory)

On any uncaught Lua error, Gen1Recomp appends a redacted trace to lua-error.log in the LÖVE save directory (love.filesystem.getSaveDirectory()). The on-screen error overlay includes a hint pointing at that file. Logs rotate to lua-error.log.1 when the active file exceeds 32 KiB. ROM/save bytes and non-printable data are stripped — never commit or share logs that might contain private paths without reviewing them first.

Native crash triage (love-nx / Atmosphère)

love-nx native faults land under the console’s crash_reports/ folder on SD (reachable via the same manual MTP workflow used for game deploys).

1. Collect — DBI → Run MTP responder; copy sdmc:/crash_reports/*.bin (or the dated subfolder) to the contributor host. Prefer keeping the microSD in-console for routine pulls.

2. Redact — delete any attached screenshots or notes that mention ROM filenames, save paths, or private hashes before sharing logs publicly.

3. Symbolize — use the pinned love.elf from .bazinga/love-nx/11.5-nx1/ that matches build-info.json / scripts/switch/love-nx-11.5-nx1.sha256. Never use a “latest” download.

   # Example: aarch64-none-elf-addr2line from devkitPro
   aarch64-none-elf-addr2line -e .bazinga/love-nx/11.5-nx1/love.elf -f -C 0xADDRESS_FROM_CRASH_REPORT
   

4. Correlate — compare gitCommit / loveNxTag from embedded build-info.json with the operator’s hardware notes.

If addr2line cannot resolve an address, archive the crash .bin with the exact love.elf SHA-256 used for the build — addresses are only meaningful against that ELF.

Review guidance

Maintainers may review as one PR or split later. Suggested slices (optional):

Each slice should declare: no ROM/save bytes committed, love-nx pin with manifest checksums, hardware-tested rows listed with linked evidence, Applet Mode unsupported, network/updater disabled on NX, deploy still manual (MTP / SD / FTP; no nxlink yet), OpenMTP is one example not the sole contract.

Slice 1 — Platform + import (platform/import)

• src/core/Platform.lua, conf.lua NX branch
• src/import/RomImporter.lua (NX flags, inbox, scan, shell/updater gates)
• Tests: tests/engine/platform_nx_*, tests/engine/rom_importer_nx_* (ROM-free T2)
• Docs: inbox/MTP import sections only

Slice 2 — Input + lifecycle (input/lifecycle)

• src/core/GamepadMap.lua, Input.lua, main.lua focus/joystick hooks
• src/debug/SwitchDiagnostics.lua (opt-in probe + error log)
• Tests: input/diagnostics suites
• Docs: controller mapping, suspend/audio notes

Slice 3 — Build + docs (build/docs)

• scripts/pack_love.sh, scripts/build_switch.sh, scripts/switch/*
• assets/switch/icon.jpg, docs/switch-development.md, hardware evidence templates
• Gates: pack_love.sh --dry-run, verify_payload.sh --self-test, fused build script (devkitPro host)

Pre-merge checklist:

• Manifest scripts/switch/love-nx-11.5-nx1.sha256 filled; binaries not in git
• verify_payload.sh rejects generated cache / ROM / .sav / .bak
• P0 matrix rows marked pass only with linked hardware evidence
• Fused NRO P0-12/14/15 pass with T24 evidence (docs/switch-hardware-evidence.md)
• Updater / remote mod download hidden on NX (networkValidated == false)
