## Useful for

- Run a Switch game with ScarletNX by extracting and recompiling an XCI or NSP file, then playing it.
- Build the CPU-only Linux AArch64 runtime to execute static AArch64 ELF binaries without Switch graphics dependencies.
- Use libscarletnx-recompiler to run ARM64 or AArch32 code in your own process with a custom SVC handler.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-16 (UTC), 02:55–05:07: 81 → 86 stars (+5). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +57 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 5 days old and already has 86 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #191.

## 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: 11
- Issues and pull requests: 256
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 24 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 3
- Latest release: nightly (2026-10-16)

## Stars per day, last 6 days (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.
