Avoid third-party mirrors claiming to host "updated Hookshot installers" because unverified repacks after a repository goes dark are a frequent vector for trojanized executables. Players migrating from Hookshot can build tangerineturtle1/NX2navi directly from the exact same legally obtained Switch 2 1.1.1 .nup dump, though save layouts and nx2navi.ini configuration files are distinct.

Switch 2 vs 3DS & N64 ports

Switch 2 1.1.1 (NX2navi / Ocarina Recomp)
Recompiles the 64-bit ARMv8 Switch 2 binary (0400486024DEC000) with modern PBR/lighting assets, ASTC high-resolution textures, 5.1 audio, and native DLSS 4 / FSR 4 / HDR10 hooks. Compare experimental C details on ocarinarecomp.wiki.
Nintendo 3DS (TriAevum / Ocarina-ReTuned)
Recompiles Grezzo's 2011 Ocarina of Time 3D ARM11 binary from a decrypted .3ds or .cci cartridge dump. Lighter VRAM footprint (~2-4 GB) and runs on mobile/macOS via Ocarina-ReTuned.
Nintendo 64 (Ship of Harkinian / Zelda64Recomp)
Targets 1998 N64 / GameCube ROM dumps (~32-64 MB) with decades of randomizer, crowd-control, and custom model ecosystems, using classic N64 geometry unless community HD texture packs are added.

When NX2navi is the right fit

  • You already own and have legally dumped the Switch 2 1.1.1 .nup package and want a guided one-click Windows Setup or native Linux/Steam Deck .AppImage.
  • You want hardware DLSS / Multi-Frame Gen, Windows AMD FSR 3.1 / FSR 4, calibrated HDR10, and 15 prebuilt Ultrawide 21:9 & 32:9 HUD layouts out of the box.
  • You want fast 1-minute delta updates via NX2navi-update.json and verifiable GitHub SHA-256 digests.

Controllers for SDL3 & Gyro

NX2navi reads SDL3 gamepads directly with 6-axis motion aiming (motion = 1), HD rumble (rumble_hd = 1), and prebuilt Nintendo, Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam Deck button prompt packs:

Common questions

Verified answers for Windows, Linux, Steam Deck, and local .nup builds.

Are Hookshot save files directly interchangeable with NX2navi?

Save directory paths and wrapper headers differ between the two runtimes. Back up your existing save directory before testing raw save-slot transfers.

What is the difference between NX2navi and sostenesfreitas/ocarina-recomp?

Both target Switch 2 1.1.1, but tangerineturtle1/NX2navi ships an end-user guided Launcher, Linux/Steam Deck AppImage, DLSS/FSR/HDR pipeline, and 15 releases (645,865 downloads), while sostenesfreitas/ocarina-recomp (v0.3.4, GPL-3.0) explicitly describes itself as an experimental developer codebase tested on a single high-end PC.

Why does NX2navi require 16-32 GB RAM while N64 ports use under 1 GB?

Switch 2 Ocarina of Time unpacks roughly 26 GB of high-resolution ASTC textures, meshes, and modern Vulkan shader permutations, whereas N64 ports load a 32 MB cartridge ROM.
