Desktop app that turns Windows games into Switch apps

Save to My finds to follow releases and star growth. Saved in this browser.

About the project

Desktop app that packs a Windows game folder into an NSP for a custom-firmware Nintendo Switch, so the game appears on the HOME Menu with its own icon and saves. The NSP bundles an Autorun-based runtime (Wine for Horizon OS, Box64/FEX, DXVK, Mesa).

Useful for
  • Build an NSP from a Windows game folder and install it on the Switch over USB via DBI
  • Give a game its own name, icon and save data on the console's HOME Menu
  • Test how a specific game runs on the Switch and file a report in Compatibility

3.4 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 12, 2026, 18:22 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

03060October 8, 2026October 12, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-12 (UTC), 00:14–18:10: 134 → 160 stars (+26). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +34 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 4 days old and already has 160 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #117.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
