pinballnx for Nintendo Switch

Play an original homebrew pinball table, designed for a portrait handheld screen with detached Joy-Cons.

A homebrew-capable Switch and the complete runtime data folder. The 1.0 release is an older port with no documented current firmware range. Keep the table textures and other data files alongside the executable.

These links preserve the verified version above. Check the linked release and your actual CFW/system version before installation.

1. Keep all runtime filesExtract the SD ZIP to the card root so /switch/pinballnx/ contains pinball.nro and data_romfs/. Keep all table textures/data.
2. Prepare the portrait displayDetach the Joy-Cons and rotate the handheld display to portrait as documented by the project. Open pinballnx from hbmenu.
3. Use the flippers and plungerL/R operate the flippers. Pull either stick down to draw the plunger, then release to launch the ball.
4. Exit with PlusPress Plus to close the game. This older 1.0 port has no documented universal current-firmware support.

A missing table needs a check that data_romfs is next to the executable. Check portrait orientation and controller arrangement before diagnosing input.
