Request/Info - OpenXcom - Looking into homebrew development and wanted to port it
EDIT: Doing a little more research into the idea, it seems there is an android port of OXCE+ which is Open Xcom Extended, which might be possible to run on the android switch port, going to setup android now just to test, I'll report back in a bit.This is my first ever Reddit post so forgive me if I get it a bit wrong but here goes.​I'm a huge fan of the OG Xcom and was looking into trying to port the open source version written in C++/SDL to the switch, but while doing research on the subject it seems that while C++ may work and SDL was ported for switch the SDL code is only for people who are licensed under Nintendo's NDA for development, unless I'm misunderstanding something? I'm not a coder but I really wanted to try my hand at this as a fun side project but now it seems I am unable to...I had some ideas, because it is a mouse+keyboard based game there is no controller support so that would have to be added in, left stick could be cursor control while binding the buttons besides A to certain actions but obviously that could be worked out after words. The biggest thing though that makes this seem like an awesome idea is the touch screen, being able to use the touch screen to play would make it play almost exactly the same as the DOS version because it used mostly mouse control, I think to alleviate some touch screen woes if playing with the battlescape scale higher than normal a UI scale slider should be added to make it easier to tap the icons at the bottom of the game.I'd really appreciate any info about this subject and would like to request if someone could attempt this in my stead if I'm right that I can't try to do it myself.https://wiki.libsdl.org/Installation#Nintendo_Switch This is the page I read about SDL.

How To: Switchroot with larger FAT32 partition or exTANt partition
This is a temporary guide that will be expanded more when I'm at my computer, with links and more in-depth instructions. If you want to do it now, use a lot of google to understand it.1) Etch Switchroot image to SDCARD, use the 32gb image if you don't need a lot of android storage.2) Burn "Gparted live" to cd or usb.3) Boot into gparted. Suggested method for windows users(most of you) is to hold down the shift key while clicking to restart your computer, and telling it to boot the usb or cd drive.4) in gparted, shift all partions that are not "hos_data" to the end of your sd card.5) Resize hos_data to take the newly available space.6) shift the remaining partitions back to where they were.7) sudo gdisk -l in terminal8) give your sd card a hybrid mbr-gpt table.9) you're done. This can be done even after you've down the initial android installation.

<b>How To: Switchroot with more than just 2GB for your Dual-Booting needs.</b>
Fuck new Reddit, view the guide here for the nice formatting: <a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks/comments/cnttgt/how_to_switchroot_with_more_than_just_2gb_for/">https://old.reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks/comments/cnttgt/how_to_switchroot_with_more_than_just_2gb_for/</a>Guide based on the overly complicated video here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxcDv60P3t8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxcDv60P3t8</a>The video will be overly complicated as fuck and add a lot of unnecessary steps, but it'll get you set up for EmuMMC at the same time, so follow that instead if you're prefer. The below is just my method.1) <a href="https://www.balena.io/etcher/">Get BalenaEtcher</a>2) <a href="https://forum.xda-developers.com/nintendo-switch/nintendo-switch-news-guides-discussion--development/rom-switchroot-lineageos-15-1-t3951389">Write the Switchroot image to your SD card with BalenaEtcher following the standard Switchroot Installation guide. (If you've already got Android working, you can skip this basic stuff.)</a>2.1) I recommend the <a href="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572065430089498644/604714767919349793/switchroot-android-32gb.torrent">32GB</a> or <a href="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572065430089498644/604714766308474880/switchroot-android-16gb.torrent">16GB</a> image if you mostly want to use your Switch as a Switch, or else <a href="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572065430089498644/604714769446076416/switchroot-android-64gb.torrent">64GB</a> if you want to use your Switch for Dual-Purpose primarily. I also recommend a 64GB MicroSD Card minimum. 128GB is required if you're going to use the 64GB Image.3) <a href="https://downloads.sourceforge.net/gparted/gparted-live-1.0.0-3-amd64.iso">Get Gparted for 64bit CPUs</a> or <a href="https://downloads.sourceforge.net/gparted/gparted-live-1.0.0-3-i686.iso">Get Gparted for 32bit CPUs</a>4) Use BalenaEtcher to write the GParted ISO to a USB drive, or use whatever your CD burner is, just the system software on Windows 10, to write it onto a CD.5) Reboot your system and load the Gparted Live. If you're using Windows 10 as I did, just hold Shift while clicking Reboot.6) <a href="https://youtu.be/zHZpC61r8cs?t=32">Hit enter at all the prompts while Gparted Live loads until you finally have a simple Desktop environment with Gparted loaded.</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/zHZpC61r8cs?t=89">It looks about like this.</a>7) Gparted loads automatically. In the upper right you will see "/dev/sd_ (### GiB). You need to select the device whose size corresponds with your SD card. If you're confused, click though the devices until you find the one that has /dev/sd_1 through /dev/sd_7 where the underscores, the _ , could be any letter. For me this is /dev/sdb, and for me it will show, excluding some superfluous information:PartitionNameFilesystemLabelSize/dev/sdb1hos_dataFAT32hos_data2 GiB(ish)/dev/sdb2vendorext4vendor1.10 GiB/dev/sdb3systemext4system2.20 GiB/dev/sdb4bootunknown-70.00 MiB/dev/sdb5recoveryunknown-70.00 MiB/dev/sdb6dtbunknown-30.00 MiB/dev/sdb7userdataext4-## GiBYou need to be sure you know what it is for you because it will be different for you, or else this guide can accidentally fuck your system up if you do something wrong and I'm not responsible for that. What is "sdb" for me may be "sde" for you.8) Right click on /dev/sd_7 and choose "Resize/Move", change "Free space Following" to Zero. Go through doing the same for sd_6, then sd_5, then sd_4, sd_3, sd_2.9) Use "Resize/Move" for sd_1 but instead of moving it, change the size to the maximum possible you can. (Note for EmuMMC people: Leave yourself EmuMMC-size space)10) If you have a tiny amount of space left between sd_1 and sd_2, I don't know if this is necessary but I did it to be sure, use "Resize/Move" from sd_2 to sd_7, thus counting up, to shift the partitions so that you'll only have a couple of megabytes of…
Fake Pro Controller Mod.
I recently bought a fake pro controller because I couldn't afford the real one, it's really good but I was just wondering would it be possible to replace the rumble motors with the ones from the genuine pro controller? Also would it be at all possible to add an nfc reader? I realize that this might seem a bit much to try and do but I was just wondering if it was actually possible. Thanks.
