Droplet v0.2.0 for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit)
=================================================

Droplet is an experimental Nintendo Switch 2 emulator, a modified version of eden-nx2 and Eden.
Its source code, full README and help are at https://gitlab.com/seighttt/droplet

You need your own game
----------------------
Nothing from any game comes with Droplet, and no Nintendo code, keys or firmware. It runs a
game's program and data in decrypted form: the game's folder, holding its exefs and romfs
folders, made from a console you own. Droplet can't open encrypted files and never reads keys.

Start
-----
Run droplet.exe. Your settings and saves stay in the "user" folder next to it. Open a game with
File > Open Game Folder and pick the game's folder (the one with exefs and romfs inside).
droplet-cli.exe is the command-line version: droplet-cli.exe <game folder>

Online play (Mario Kart World and Splatoon Raiders)
---------------------------------------------------
Online play goes through a Reservoir server, run by someone you trust (the server is on the
GitLab page's "server" branch). There are no official servers.

1. Multiplayer > Online Play Settings: turn online play on.
2. Enter the server's address with its port, for example reservoir.example.org:8443.
3. Pick the server's ca.der, from its status page or from whoever runs it.

Your friend code is made the first time you play online. Add friends by their codes; you become
friends once you have both added each other. Everyone needs the same version of the game.

Matches are peer-to-peer, as on a console: the other players in a match see your IP address,
and so does the server. Droplet never connects to Nintendo's servers. If Windows Firewall asks
about droplet.exe, allow it, or other players can't reach you.
