# Nintendo Switch port of [**fheroes2**](README.md) project

It's a homebrew app, so you need to be running custom firmware for it to work.

## BUILDING

You will need to install the [devkitPro](https://devkitpro.org/) toolchain. Make sure to include the following package:

```text
libnx switch-sdl2_mixer
```

After installation run `make -f Makefile.switch -j 2` command to build the package.

## SETUP

You will need a copy of the official game to run this port.

fheroes2 root directory is hardcoded as `/switch/fheroes2`. Put the game files there (specifically `ANIM`, `DATA`, `MAPS`
and `MUSIC` folders), then copy over the `files` directory, as well as `fheroes2.nro`. If you have a Russian version from
Buka Enternainment, you'll likely have `Anim2` folder instead. Rename it to `ANIM` if you wish use the Buka game data with
this port.

At the end you should have the following directory tree on your SD card:

```text
switch
 |
 +-- ...
 +-- fheroes2  <--- this is the game directory
     |
     +--- anim         <--- HoMM2 game data
     +--- data         <--- HoMM2 game data
     +--- files        <--- Part of fheroes2 release
     +--- maps         <--- HoMM2 game data
     +--- music        <--- HoMM2 game data
     +--- fheroes2.nro <--- Part of fheroes2 release
 ```

Generally, you will need game resources from the localized version of HoMM2 in order to use translations in fheroes2. During
the first run, the game should auto-detect the game data you have and offer to choose a language you'd like to use. English
is always available.
