We've got JFSW now on Nintendo Switch! Massive shoutout to Jonathon Fowler for his awesome work on the original SW. Also, a big thanks to two legends who made this project possible:

Rinnegatamante for fixing the polymost rendering bug in the PS Vita port.
MrHuu for his inspiring 3DS port that got me rolling on this project.

Key differences

Switch custom controls reading system, as sdl, for some reason, can't produce input events
"Hotplug" switch between OG game and WD addon (still need restart game, though)
Support for Polymost and OpenGL rendering (true 3d with option to use classic 8bpp)
While using SwitchBrew's libnx, keyboard inputs (save) and (un)dock mode supported
Modified build files and scripts, to bring fluid devkit toolchain integration

Installation

Go to releases page, and grab latest .nro executable.
Obtain legal copy of Shadow Warrior (I used Steam version), files in:

"Steam\steamapps\common\Shadow Warrior Classic\gameroot\classic"
Copy

Create "jfsw" folder somewhere on your SD card (i recommend /switch folder, as default for hb's).
Place "sw.grp", "wt.grp" and TrackXX.ogg from MUSIC to it.
Place "jfsw.nro" in that folder, too.
I recommend to launch game in non-applet mode, because otherwise worked, but not tested.
OPTIONAL: if you want to create forwarder DO NOT USE video capture - it causes CPU Boost bug after closing app.

Controls

I used most comfortable layout (IMHO, can be remapped through game's controls menu):

Left stick: moving
Right stick: camera control
A: toggle alternative fire
B: crouch
X: jump
Y: interact
L1/R1: switch weapons
L2: jump
R2: fire
L3: none
R3: none
Minus: map
Plus: game menu
Dpad up: use inventory item
Dpad down: holster weapon
Dpad left/right: switch inventory items

NOTE: axis scale and saturation can be set in game's controller menu
