NXBlood is a port of NBlood for the Switch which itself is a attempted Source port of the 1997 game Blood

All credit for the actual port goes to Nuke.YKT for his fantastic NBlood

- move NBlood.nro somewhere into your /switch folder
  • make a folder called nblood on the root of your SD and copy the following files into it or next to the nro

Hey @SentryCrafter for some reason this won't load at all on my Switch. Currently running Atmos 6.0.1, eDuke port works fine but this won't load at all. I have all of the files in the correct folder so I am not sure what the issue is.

Hopefully I will manage to get it working at some point because this looks awesome. Thanks for putting in the work to port this over.

I don't have a lot of experience with Atmos and if it acts similar to Atmosphere
but having the game files in sd:/nblood or in the same path as the NRO should work

guess I'm just an idiot then
it should work if he put the files in the right place
To be fair my message could have been a bit clearer. I will double check the files but each time I have tried to load NBlood it just doesn't happen and takes me back to homebrew menu.

So I managed to get NXBlood to work. Turns out it was the files I was using. Tested the same files out on NBlood and the error related to the version I sas using. Redownloaded with V1.21 patch and all is working well.

It still creates a nblood folder on the sd root, and the settings and config files are created in the root blood folder not in the switch/nblood folder

FW 9.0.1 support, pretty please?
I'd like to but the current code of NXBlood is very unoptimized and does not support OpenGL yet
my current plan is to scrap the current port and wait for a new release of NBlood to make sure everything is implemented and a sudden pull from the eduke32 upstream won't cause me hours of trouble anymore

If you die on the first level you can't recollect the key for the first building, is that just me?

Yeah when you die the entire level is supposed to be reset but in this you just respawn and the level doesn't reset. So any items you picked up are gone. Its a bug.

So if you're going to play this version you will need to save at the start of every level.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Toxic pills are best
