OpenTTD port for Switch v1.0 (Work-in-Progress)

This is my Switch port of OpenTTD, a re-implementation of Transport Tycoon Deluxe. It is playable, but crashes on save dialog currently.

Port by @rsn8887, based on the Vita port by @angguss. I made some control enhancements and I also enabled sound (pull request to @angguss made).


Thanks

Thanks to the many developers who worked on this game.

Thanks to @angguss for his excellent Vita port, on which this Switch port is based on.

Thanks to my supporters on Patreon: Andyways, CountDuckula, Greg Gibson, Jesse Harlin, Özgür Karter, Matthew Machnee, and RadicalR.

Installation

A public domain graphics set (OpenGFX) is included. If you want the choice to also use original dos game graphics, copy over the files

SAMPLE.CAT 
TRHCOM.GRF
TREND.GRF
TRTITLE.GRF
TRG1.GRF
TRGC.GRF
TRGH.GRF
TRGI.GRF
TRGT.GRF

to /switch/openttd/baseset/

If the above files are present, a new option will appear when you go to game settings from the titlescreen. There you can select between the two graphics sets original dos and openGFX.

Controls

  • Left analog stick = mouse pointer control
  • D-Pad or right analog stick = scrolling the map.
  • A/right trigger = left mouse click
  • B/left trigger = right mouse click
  • Y = zoom-in
  • X = zoom-out
  • Double click A/right trigger over a text field = bring up on-screen keyboard
  • The touch screen is used for indirect mouse input, like on a laptop touchpad. Move a single finger to move the mouse pointer. Use short tap for left click. Hold a single finger while tapping a second finger for right click. Drag with two fingers to drag and drop.

Current Limitations

  • No network support

Building for Switch

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$DEVKITPRO/portlibs/switch/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --os=SWITCH --host aarch64-none-elf --enable-static --prefix=/opt/devkitpro --with-sdl="pkg-config sdl2" --without-fontconfig --disable-strip --enable-network=0 --without-liblzo2 --without-lzma --without-threads
make -j12
cd cmake
cmake ./ -DSWITCH_BUILD=ON
make openttd_switch.vpk

openttd_switch.zip can be found in cmake/

Building for Vita

This same codebase can be compiled for Vita, too:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$VITASDK/arm-vita-eabi/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --os=PSVITA --host arm-vita-eabi --enable-static --prefix=/usr/local/vitasdk --with-sdl="pkg-config sdl2" --without-fontconfig --disable-strip --enable-network=0 --without-liblzo2
make -j12
cd cmake
cmake -DVITA_BUILD=ON ./
make openttd.vpk

openttd.vpk can be found in cmake/

Changelog

(1.0 WIP) Switch crashes on load/save dialog at the moment

  • initial Switch release based on latest nightly
  • enabled sound fx (requires SAMPLE.CAT from original game, and enable original dos sound in settings)
  • improved touch controls
  • speedup on Vita via native texture rendering
  • improved analog stick mouse controls (use right stick to pan map and left stick for pointer)
