    inkypaint 0.1.5!! a Splatoon 3 PC port with ScarletNX as the base, and multiplayer through LAN
    (GRID0 ZeroTier) or the NSO replacement, GRID0+!

    you need your own game dump and your own console's keys! none of the game comes in these downloads.
    the launcher extracts and recompiles your copy locally. allow about 13 GB of disk space, and half an hour to an
    hour for the first recompile depending on your machine. yes, that takes too long, i'm working on it!

    you'll need:

    • Splatoon 3's base game NSP (0100C2500FC20000)
    • Its 11.3.0 update NSP (0100C2500FC20800, v2752512)
    • prod.keys dumped from your console (title.keys is optional)

    Downloads

    System File

    SHA256SUMS has the checksums if you want to check your download.

    Getting started

    1. open inkypaint. The Game Files page asks for the two NSPs and your keys (or a folder that holds them).
    2. it asks whether you want to play online. Sign in to GRID0+ there and its patches are compiled in on the first go.
      Don't have an account? Register here! Use /register with the GRID0+ bot on the Splatfest Discord server.
    3. press Prepare Splatoon 3 and let it finish. then press Play!

    Mods: the Mods page adds RomFS mods (folders or archives) that apply the next time the game starts, no recompile
    needed. Mods that change the game's code (exefs) need one, which the page offers.

    LAN works separately from GRID0+! for GRID0 ZeroTier, join the same ZeroTier network as your friends, enable
    networking, and select that adapter under Settings > LAN play.

    Notes for each system

    • Windows: SmartScreen may warn that the installer is from an unknown publisher (it isn't signed): choose
      More info, then Run anyway. You need a GPU with Vulkan 1.3.
    • macOS: the app isn't notarized. The first time, open it, then go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and
      choose Open Anyway (or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/inkypaint.app).
    • Linux: you need your GPU's Vulkan driver (Mesa's RADV or ANV, or NVIDIA's) and the Vulkan loader
      (libvulkan1 / vulkan-icd-loader). The launcher uses the system's OpenGL dispatch library: if it says
      libOpenGL.so.0 is missing, install libopengl0 (Debian, Ubuntu) or libglvnd-opengl (Fedora).
      ./install-desktop-entry.sh adds inkypaint to your applications.
