- For
- Apple Silicon Mac users with legally dumped Switch software
- Worth noticing
- Its coverage table calls Horizon IPC command depth an “open tail” and names nvdrv/host1x the least-complete GPU area.
Field notes
The documented pipeline accepts XCI, NSP, NSZ, or XCZ containers, decrypts NCAs using the user's keys, then analyzes NSO modules before rewriting patch sites and packaging a locally signed app. The coverage table reports 100% in several layers, but identifies Horizon IPC command depth as an open area and nvdrv/host1x as the least-complete GPU area. The project labels the toolchain early and experimental; the page requires macOS 26+ on Apple Silicon.
