# realskyrin/ns-game-apple-arm-port > An instruction skill for AI coding assistants on porting Nintendo Switch games to Apple Silicon (macOS, iPadOS, iOS) via Rust compatibility and Metal. It covers workflow, diagnostics and acceptance templates, but ships no games, keys or compatibility code. - Magnitude: 4.2 out of 10 — Early signal - Stars: 115 total · +5 stars measured 2026-10-19, 13:45–16:08 UTC, ≈ 12 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: AI agents · Created: 2026-10-18 · Last push: 2026-10-18 - GitHub: https://github.com/realskyrin/ns-game-apple-arm-port · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/realskyrin/ns-game-apple-arm-port ## Useful for - Check the game version and porting baseline before starting adaptation - Plan the NVN-to-Metal graphics migration with shader diagnostics - Record launch, input and audio evidence during port acceptance ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-19 (UTC), 13:45–16:08: 110 → 115 stars (+5). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +12 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 1 day old and already has 115 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - Top new repositories this week: #184. - About 14 forks a day — people are taking the code. ## 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: 19 - Issues and pull requests: 0 - Watchers: 0 - Average over the last week: 35 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): 4 ## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-18 … 2026-10-19: 58, 5 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories this week: #184 ## Similar by description 1. **ly05010419/MacNativeGames** — 8.2 · Early signal · Games & graphics · C · +752 stars measured 2026-10-19, 00:05–16:05 UTC, ≈ 1,103 by evening A script that builds a native macOS app from your own copy of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (XCI/NSP) for Apple silicon: the game's ARM64 code runs directly, graphics rebuilt on Metal 4. Full card: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/ly05010419/MacNativeGames.md --- 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.
