02/25/2023, 12:59 PM@mammoth-iron-58709 you can test the Nintendo switch controller mapping on windows. Even wiimote controller works with openfl. Lime uses SDL for mappings. This library is also used by games made fully in c++. I haven't released anything on switch so I can't tell more. - f

02/25/2023, 4:46 PM@faint-crayon-93028 maybe this project is still working ? https://github.com/larsiusprime/crashdumper - f

03/01/2023, 8:42 AMswitch backend is still stuck on lime 7.2.1, OpenFL 8.8.0, and Haxe 3.4.7. - f
future-iron-61487
03/01/2023, 8:43 AMso afaik hashlink straight up isn't a thing at all - f
future-iron-61487
03/01/2023, 8:45 AMhowever once it's set up
just fucking works which is pretty great.lime build switch - a

03/01/2023, 8:54 AMwoah haxe 3.4.7 - p
powerful-morning-89
03/01/2023, 9:16 AMHaxe 3.4.7 already had Hashlink iirc. An old version of course :) But I don't know if Lime supported it back then. - f
future-iron-61487
03/01/2023, 9:43 AMI remember it not working for some reason - f
future-iron-61487
03/01/2023, 9:43 AMin any case I don't really have any interest in hashlink - f
future-iron-61487
03/01/2023, 9:43 AMhxcpp works great - f
future-iron-61487
03/01/2023, 9:44 AMstill, I'd like to get an updated version of lime-switch that runs on haxe 4, since importing haxe libraries is starting to get difficult (obv library authors don't want to maintain haxe 3 ifdefs forever) - f
future-iron-61487
03/01/2023, 9:45 AMI got as far as lime 8.0.0 launching, but managed to fuck up OpenGL init somehow and so I can /hear/ the game but not see it. - a

03/01/2023, 9:46 AMgame /only/ uses hd rumble - p
powerful-morning-89
03/01/2023, 9:48 AMJust a thought... maybe it would be an option to simply update the old versions of Lime/OpenFL to use Haxe 4 syntax? There's not that many breaking changes afaik, so you could keep using the old codebase and you wouldn't have to fight with lime 8. - f
future-iron-61487
03/01/2023, 9:52 AMalmost considered switching to XNA but afaik there's no openfl/flixel equivalent in XNA land - it's all build your own spritebatch flinger - f
future-iron-61487
03/01/2023, 9:52 AMI'm... actually more comfortable wrassling c/cpp than updating lime 7.2.1 to haxe 4 - f
future-iron-61487
03/01/2023, 9:53 AMbesides it'd be nicer for everyone if lime 8.x ran - f
