Nintendo Switch port of fheroes2 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 toolchain. Make sure to include the following package:

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:

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.
