Switch Funkin' is a port of Psych Engine 1.0.4 (a Friday Night Funkin' engine) for the Nintendo Switch. It is not a recreation or inspiration, but the real HaxeFlixel engine running on the Switch.
This is made possible through Lime-NX, an experimental fork of Lime that allows compiling Lime/OpenFL projects for the Nintendo Switch using DevKitPro and DevKitA64.
Notes:
- Video playback is not supported, as there is currently no way to get hxvlc working on the Switch target.
- The engine cannot cache all assets, so loading screens can be slow — even reloading the game over screen a second time can be slow. This appears to be a limitation of how the game is compiled for this platform, and might be fixed in the future by not depending on OpenFL for that.
- Keyboard and mouse input are not supported on the Switch; this appears to be something HorizonOS (the Nintendo Switch operating system) prevents, or at least does not allow by default.
- The Nintendo Switch hardware dates from around 2016 with 4 GB of RAM, so performance-heavy mods may require optimization. V-Slice would likely perform better than Psych Engine, but its complexity makes it impractical to maintain for the Switch (there is an unfinished attempt to do so); this is why Psych Engine was chosen, in addition to it being the FNF engine the developer knows best and prefers.
- Mods that use special mechanics requiring extra keys will need modifications to support controllers.
- This engine is not expected to compile for other platforms. Compilation has been kept working for at least Linux, but the engine has been modified specifically to work well with the Nintendo Switch.
Features
- Full Psych Engine 1.0.4 functionality on the Nintendo Switch
- HScript and Lua scripting support
- Shader support
- Mod folder support (works the same as standard Psych Engine)
- Touchscreen hitbox support for playing
- Available on the Homebrew App Store for direct download to the console
Installation
Download the latest release from GitHub, GitHub Actions, GameBanana, or the Homebrew App Store.
The Homebrew App Store option allows downloading the game directly to the console; it's the easiest way to get the game and future updates, by searching for it in the HBAS client on the Switch.
For manual installation, place the .nro file from the downloaded ZIP into the switch folder on the console's SD card. Then open the Homebrew Menu from an official game (by holding the R button while launching a game from the HOME menu), find "FNF: Switch Funkin'", and open it. An NSP file for installing directly to the console without using the Homebrew Menu is not currently offered.
Mods
After opening the game at least once, a Switch-Funkin folder will be created inside the switch folder on the SD card. Inside it, there is a mods folder which works exactly like normal Psych Engine. The folder also contains crash logs, shader error logs, and the saves folder, which stores save data using the standard HaxeFlixel save format.
