Games & graphics · C

+367stars on 2026-10-23 · UTC

A tool that turns a folder of your own Nintendo Switch NSP files into an unsigned IPA for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Games run natively on the Apple chip, not emulated: the game's code executes directly and NVN graphics are rebuilt on Metal.

Useful for
  • Build an IPA from an NSP folder and prod.keys to run a game on iPhone
  • Sideload the resulting IPA with AltStore or Sideloadly on an iPhone 15 Pro
  • Set handheld mode via env.txt without rebuilding the app
