You would have to download the source, modify love.cpp to use a window library to make a render window for the console then build it for the console. THATS IT.

This kinda flew under the radar, but you can build an NRO file to either run .love files or package up your game to distribute. Obviously for homebrew purposes only if you don't have a devkit.

I'm pleased to share my port to Switch via the official Nintendo SDK. It is based on the main branch.
You will need to be licensed for Switch development with a
Nintendo developer account, signed NDA and
Nintendo Switch access approval.
This will let you access the Switch dev forums where I posted the link to the private repo.
I can't link to my thread directly but you can find it:
Developer Support > Nintendo Switch forums > English > Nintendo SDK > General Discussion > LÖVE for Nintendo Switch
There, post a reply with your Github username to request access, or download the snapshot in the attached zip file.
You'll of course need an official devkit to run it.

Can you give some details about the love2d 11.4 functions support, what features don't work ?
At the moment I use
Code: Select all
function love.mousepressed(xOrg, yOrg, button, istouch, presses)
That work for the Ipad, but does it work for the switch?
And for example the switch controllers, could I use the
Code: Select all
function love.mousemoved(xOrg, yOrg, dx, dy, istouch)
I guess it will take a year for the game is ready, but I love the idea that the game is runnable at the switch.

I have started to port my first shipped title
Demonizer.
It runs, but there is a lot I need to improve and polish up to be competitive with similar Switch games.

I expect touch-as-mouse to work, I haven't used it, but touchpressed/touchmoved/touchreleased do work.
Some features are not available until I figure out how to build the libraries:
- Networking via lua-enet or luasocket
- Playing tracker module audio files (EDIT 10/1/2022: MP3 added!)

Hello,
I wanted to know if the LÖVE for Nintendo Switch is still available in the official Nintendo SDK?

Hey there, I'd also like to get an invite to the love2D switch repo.
I posted in the nintendo forum.
Thanks!
