TOMODACHI LIFE: LIVING THE DREAM GETS A NATIVE LINUX PORT IN ALPHA
Tomodachi LTD Recomp alpha 1.7.4: a native Linux port of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream
RussoPhone's Tomodachi LTD Recomp is an alpha native port of the Switch game, built on your own computer. The game's ARM code is statically recompiled to x86-64 and runs on the project's own nxrt runtime with its own NVN to Vulkan renderer, though parts of the system services still come from suyu-derived code, so it isn't a from-scratch rewrite. It's Linux-only for now, tested on one NVIDIA laptop on Arch/EndeavourOS, and capped at 30 FPS. Alpha 1.7.4 (3 November) fixes the game's clock and a video memory problem. It's a rival to the Windows TomodachiLife-recomp project we covered on 29 October. The repo has no game, firmware or keys.
You need: Linux, your own Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream .nsp at version 1.0.0 with no updates, and your own prod.keys from your own console. Windows isn't supported yet. No game files included.
