Go to the folder where onscripter-nx.nro is located (/switch/ followed by onscripter-nx/ or game-specific folder name)
Copy the game files in that folder:
arc*.nsa / arc*.sar
nscript.dat / nscript.___
You don't need this if you are using a game-specific version of ONScripter-NX.

Launch ONScripter-NX from hbmenu
Note: Launching from the album applet seems to work, but it is strongly advised to launch it by holding R on an installed game to avoid potential memory problems since that's the normal environment where Switch homebrews are designed to run.
Enjoy!

Changelog
0.3.1
Compatibility with v21.0.0 - Recompiled with latest libnx to allow compatibility with the latest ABI changes.
Debug to PC with nxlink.
Now ONScripter-NX uses nxlinkStdio to stream both stdout and stderr to the nxlink server on debug builds. This allows for easier debugging, but most importantly it's a much better thought approach than the previous one.
ONScripter-NX used to log output to stdout.txt and stderr.txt on the SD card, consistently with ONScripter's standard behavior on Windows.
ONScripter-NX logs a lot in debug builds; that would mean continuous writes to the SD card for the entire process lifetime (and also heavy write amplification). This is indeed problematic for SD flash storage health and, potentially, performance (even though it didn't seem to cause noticeable slowdowns under casual circumstances yet).
Fixed crash on program exit.
Undefined behavior inside the input handling thread caused the program to crash upon exiting. This is fixed now
