A Full Decompilation of Sonic Nexus (2008) by Taxman, made by RDC, ported to Nintendo Switch via hackery using HeyJoeWay's CD switch port as a baseline.
You can find downloads in releases, or if you wanna go with my recent commits, use the github actions page here! It's live updated with any commits I have to add to the port.
-
Make sure your Switch can run homebrew.
-
Extract the contents of the zip to the root of your SD card.
-
Copy the assets to /switch/nexus2008 on your Switch's SD card. You will need the following files/folders:
Data.bin / Data Folder
(if you extracted the Data.bin. This lets you get Dev Menu support and solve a music loop issue present in Nexus (and also CD for some reason))
- Start Sonic Nexus via hbmenu.
NOTE: It is recommended to give the game full RAM access. This means you shouldn't launch hbmenu from the album applet when running this. With the latest Atmosphere build and its default config, you can hold R while starting any game to open hbmenu with full RAM access. If you have any issues make sure the game has full RAM access before reporting them; launching as an applet will not be supported.
There is no way to press a button to access the dev menu when in game. (hopefully can be figured out eventually)
