Shijima-NX is a Tesla overlay enabling you to run Shimeji desktop pets on your Nintendo Switch. While mostly for fun and demonstration purposes, this overlay shows that running Shimeji mascots on the Switch is indeed possible.

How to Use

If you'd like to try it yourself, some manual setup is required in addition to installing the overlay:

1. Prepare mascot.cereal:
   Generate this file from the actions.xml and behaviors.xml files of a Shimeji-ee mascot using the shijima-sandbox utility. (Note: shijima-sandbox is an example program that is built alongside the library itself when you compile libshijima.)

2. Prepare img.bin:
   Create this file using the tesla-packer tool available in the Shijima-NX repository.

3. Final Setup:
   Copy both mascot.cereal and img.bin files to the following location on your SD card:

   sd:/config/Shijima-NX
