Any chance of seeing those Fallout 1CE/2 CE ports on Switch?

I didn't even think about that! I mean, sure I could wire my pc to my tv... but I mean, having it all on the Switch would be dope
Bump, in case any devs have caught the Fallout bug and feel like giving it a go.
It looks like it just needs SDL2. It's already got SCUMMVM-style touchscreen-as-trackpad mouse movement support for the mobile ports.

Would love this. I've never played 1/2/Tactics before. Always on my perpetual backlog
Shocked.
They're truly VGM masterpieces. Try them ASAP.
Not sure about community edition but Fallout 1 has already been ported to the switch. You can find it on places I can not name here.
Thanks for the info! It's available on the "2u" site (can't give full name here), it's the original version set up to run in dosbox via retroarch, with the controls all set up and an nsp forwarder by the looks of it. Haven't tested yet but should be a reasonable way to run it on Switch if nobody ports the CE.
So I tried running Fallout 1 in dosbox-svn, and the performance didn't feel great tbh, not too smooth.
What I've got now is fallout1-ce built for Switch Linux, I fixed a bug for duplicated cursor movements with the touchscreen, it's still a bit funny about registering a click when you start a movement on the touchscreen but it seems playable, only with touchscreen for mouse movements so far, controller support would be more work. Or you can use an actual mouse if it's connected and working on your Switch before you run the game.
If you're running Linux on your Switch, you can copy the files from a Windows version of Fallout 1 into a directory on your Switch, then put these files in the same directory and run fallout-ce. I've included config files for the screen resolution and the right file paths, tho you can edit the paths in fallout.cfg if they don't match your version of the game, and you can set subtitles=0 if you don't want subs on the videos (they were off by default, I turned them on).
edit: Added a newer build which disables input from a real mouse, in order for touch input to work correctly, so you don't get a false click when you start moving the cursor. This problem is caused by the messy way the game handles input, combined with a weird quirk/possible bug of SDL2, and I haven't found a clean way to work around it so this will do me for now. Use the "disable real mouse" build if you want to play with touchscreen, use the other build if you want to use an actual mouse.

Are you also going to prepare Fallout 2 CE for Linux/Switch? As soon as I install Linux on Switch, I will test your F1CE. Is there a chance to convert it to HOS?

Once I've finished fiddling with 1CE for linux, I may try 2CE for linux next. I'm currently trying to stop it from always detecting the start of a touch as a mouse click, even if you're just trying to move the cursor.
There's a possibility I might try porting to HOS once I'm done with fixes, but anyone else is welcome to do so in the meantime, and make use of said fixes which should apply there too.

Can't bump but added new build above

Now I can bump... I added another build above, for Switch Linux, this one disables input from real mouse in order to prevent false clicks registering when starting a cursor movement on the touchscreen.

the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.+1

@
BakerMan:
and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"+1
first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states -
@
BakerMan:
also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"+1
so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote -
@
BakerMan:
tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same+4

What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous+3

If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol+3

We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.+2

That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted+2 -
@
BakerMan:
also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves+2
