Local NUP and RomFS build requirements

Triforce compiles your legally obtained Switch 2 Ocarina of Time dump into a standalone native PC folder. Confirm your dump's Title ID, Update version, and NSO Build ID before kicking off the 40-minute ahead-of-time build.

~60 GBTemporary scratch space

MSI Z590 desktop motherboard with liquid CPU cooler and dual HyperX RAM sticks — Plan for 16 GB system RAM, ~60 GB temporary scratch in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Triforce\build, and ~40 minutes on your initial build.

Supported game dump & workstation specs

Triforce validates the exact executable signature of your Switch 2 dump before lifting instructions so mismatched updates fail cleanly at step one.

Requirement	Expected Value	Technical Notes
Title ID	`0400486024DEC000`	Switch 2 edition of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Update Level	`v131072` (base `v65536`)	Older unpatched base dumps without update `v131072` will reject Build ID verification
NSO Build ID	`e0f3ccfaf50065ae4ea01eb5aeb13b1a45da3348`	Short prefix `e0f3ccfa` verified on ZBIC-compressed `exefs/main`
Accepted Formats	`.nup` (`~25.6 GB`) or `romfs` + `exefs`	Unpacked RomFS holds `186,583` files (`24.4 GiB`) including `10,154` NVN2 shaders
System Memory	`16 GB RAM` minimum	Uses `~10 GB` active RAM in play; machines under `20 GB` automatically enable lazy pipeline loading
Disk Space	`~2 GB` tools + `~60 GB` build scratch	Scratch lives in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Triforce\build` during compilation plus your output game directory

GUI Setup vs source CLI (nx2/make_game.py)

Most Windows players run TriforceSetup.exe, point it at their .nup file or unpacked folder, optionally tick NVIDIA DLSS and RenoDX HDR (~60 MB each), and let Setup compile. When a newer Triforce release arrives, click Update & merge to re-link only changed functions in a few minutes.

Developers building from git.triforceproject.com/triforce/source can invoke nx2/make_game.py directly with Python 3 (lz4==4.4.5, numpy==2.5.4, capstone==5.0.9, unicorn==2.1.4, zstandard==0.25.0):

# Verify dump Build ID (e0f3ccfa) without compiling
python -I nx2/make_game.py --nup "C:\Dumps\oot_sw2.nup" --check

# Full initial build from a single .nup package
python -I nx2/make_game.py --nup "C:\Dumps\oot_sw2.nup" \
  --out "C:\Games\Triforce" --language en-US

# Build from already unpacked romfs + exefs directories
python -I nx2/make_game.py --romfs "D:\oot\romfs" \
  --exefs "D:\oot\exefs" --out "C:\Games\Triforce"

# Fast incremental rebuild on an existing Triforce output folder
python -I nx2/make_game.py --update "C:\Games\Triforce"

Samsung 980 PRO NVMe M.2 solid-state drive — Keep both %LOCALAPPDATA%\Triforce\build and your output folder on an NVMe SSD so clang/lld links 57 C chunks without disk bottlenecks.
