# SwitchFW-Tools/switch2-bootstrapper

> A utility that, per its author, delivers a one-time USB-C payload to activate custom firmware on a Nintendo Switch 2, including a NAND backup. It runs via a remote PowerShell script rather than a local executable.

## Useful for

- Verify the project's claims in an isolated environment before running the script
- Back up the console's NAND before firmware experiments

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-26 (UTC), 15:52–21:54: 150 → 151 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 0 days old and already has 151 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #161.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 0
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 1 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0
- Latest release: v1.0.0 (2026-10-26)

## Stars per day, last 1 day (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
