Clone & Build

# Pulling code
git clone --recursive https://github.com/giovannimirulla/TsVitch.git
cd tsvitch

PC

Currently tsvitch is supported on macOS.

macOS

# macOS: install dependencies
brew install mpv webp

cmake -B build -DPLATFORM_DESKTOP=ON
make -C build tsvitch -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)

Cross-compile the Switch executable (tsvitch.nro)

Recommended to use docker build, local build configuration environment is slightly cumbersome, but can be used to switch the underlying ffmpeg or mpv and other dependent libraries for more flexible debugging.

The following describes the build method under OpenGL. deko3d (better hard solver support) please refer to it: scripts/build_switch_deko3d.sh
