-- This repository runs Nintendo Switch games natively on Apple platforms: the game's own code runs, rewritten only where Apple's kernel requires it. Forty games are playable on the iPhone: Super Mario Bros. Wonder (update 1.2.1, profile `010015100B514000`), Fire Emblem Engage (update 2.0.0, `0100A6301214E000`), Metroid Dread (update 2.1.0, `010093801237C000`), 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (update 1.10, `01003FC01670C000`), Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (update 1.2.2, `010028600EBDA000`), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (update 1.9.0, SDK 20, `01007EF00011E000`), The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (update 1.1.0, SDK 8, `01006BB00C6F0000`) Super Mario Odyssey (update 1.4.1, SDK 7, `0100000000010000`), Hades (update 1.0.38233, SDK 9, `0100535012974000`), Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity (update 1.3.0, SDK 9.6, `01002B00111A2000`), Fire Emblem: Three Houses (update 1.2.0, SDK 6.5, `010055D009F78000`), Super Mario Galaxy (update 1.3.1, SDK 18, `010099C022B96000`) The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (update 1.4.3, SDK 20, `0100F2C0115B6000`) Monster Hunter Rise (update 16.0.2, SDK 11.4.3, `0100B04011742000`), Ace Attorney Investigations Collection (update 1.0.0.2, SDK 17.5.3, `010005501E68C000`), Hades II (base game, SDK 19.3.9, `0100A00019DE0000`), Unicorn Overlord (update 1.05, SDK 16.2.4, `010069401ADB8000`), Rhythm Heaven Groove (base game 1.0.0, SDK 21.4.0, `0100D9F01D474000`), Octopath Traveler 0 (update 1.0.5, SDK 19.3.13, `01005270232F2000`), Pokémon Legends: Z-A (update 2.0.2, SDK 19.3.11, `0100F43008C44000`), Cuphead (update 1.3.7, SDK 5.5.0, `0100A5C00D162000`), Super Mario Galaxy 2 (update 1.4.0, SDK 18.3.5, `0100FD8022DAA000`), FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles (update 1.4.0, SDK 19.3.9, `010038B015560000`), Absolum (update 1.1.1, SDK 18.3.2, `0100A83022A22000`), Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (update 1.4.2, SDK 8.2.0, `01009BF0072D4000`) and Brain Memory Training Academy (base game 1.0.0, SDK 16.2.4, `0100F5D01DA3A000`), The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (base game 1.0.0, SDK 10.4.1, `010036E00FB20000`), STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT (update 1.0.3, SDK 20.5.17, `01008BC024FDE000`), Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain (update 1.2.0, SDK 11.4.3, `0100620012D6E000`), Patrick's Parabox (update 1.0.1, SDK 13.3.7, `0100E44016C22000`), Celeste (update 1.4.1.1, SDK 15.3.2, `01002B30028F6000`), DRAGON QUEST XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition (update 1.0.4, SDK 7.3.2, `01006C300E9F0000`), Monster Train 2 (update 1.1.1, SDK 18.3.5, `010051701FB46000`), Raging Loop (base game 1.0.0, SDK 7.3.2, `010020400E1C2000`), DARK SOULS: REMASTERED (update 1.0.3, SDK 4.5.0, `01004AB00A260000`), Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (update 1.0.1, SDK 15.3.2, `0100ECD018EBE000`), Hollow Knight: Silksong (update 1.0.30000, SDK 20.5.8, `010013C00E930000`), Catherine: Full Body (update 1.0.1a, SDK 8.2.1, `0100BF00112C0000`), Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition (update 1.0.3, SDK 6.4.0, `010014E00DB56000`) and Animal Crossing: New Horizons (update 3.0.3, SDK 20.5.4, `01006F8002326000`). Hades renders with Vulkan, which the host implements on Metal (`dm/gfx/vk/hle_vk.m`; `main` imports Vulkan, not NVN). Age of Calamity is Koei Tecmo's KTGL engine: files in RDB archives, shaders as GLSLC outputs (`shader_split.py` `idrk_shaders`). Three Houses is KTGL too; 9 of its shaders exist only as compiles of the game's own GLSLC at run time, captured once on the Mac (its `main` holds GLSL sources and imports `glslcCompile`). Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom run at 60 fps through a frame step the host decides in whole vsyncs (`patch_nso.py` `FRAME_STEP`, `nvn_fstep.h`, profile keys `fps_target` and `frame_step`); Tears of the Kingdom has a 5 GB guest layout. Monster Hunter Rise is Capcom's RE Engine: files in KPKA PAK archives (`shader_split.py` `kpka_jobs`, shaders in SDF files), the base game an XCI, its GPU heap a 64 GB sparse virtual pool (`hle_nvn.c` `vpool_*`, a 4 KB page table the replay reads textures through); it runs at 60 fps (30 on the Switch). Super Mario Galaxy is the Wii game on NERD's Hagi layer (PowerPC code recompiled into `main`), renders with Vulkan, and generates its shaders at run time, which the NSP script captures on the Mac (no SPIR-V file in its RomFS); its pointer is the touch screen in handheld mode (profile key `op_mode`). Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is Unity 2022 IL2CPP: its shaders keep their parameters as blob entries of their own (`shader_split.py` `unity_code_blobs`), and its C# file API goes through the SDK's C library, whose path checks the host answers (`hle_fs.c` `IsPathMounted` and the length limits). Hades II, unlike Hades, renders with NVN; its shaders bind textures at fixed slots up to 34 (slot 34's handle lies in the driver's image table, `dmsh_build.py`), and the two long lines through Melinoë while the staff's Omega attack charges are the game's own aim lines, not a rendering bug.

 - Each game's constants and shader tables form a game profile in `dm/games/<id>/`, where `<id>` is the base game's title ID: `game.tsv` plus the tables and `dmsh_chain.h`. Mario's profile is `010015100B514000`. Tools pick the profile with `DM_GAME`; `make -C dm/host` and `build_ipa.sh` pick it with `GAME`. There is no default game: set it every time (the tools stop and list the profiles otherwise). Put per-game values in the profile, not in code ([dm/games/README.md](dm/games/README.md)).
 - Prefer general optimizations and fixes to game-specific rules. Performance work (frame pacing, power, caches, load times) counts here as much as correctness. First look for a change that holds for every game: Horizon / NVN / Vulkan semantics, or what the binary, its SDK version, its imports or its files show. Use a game-specific rule (a profile key, a rewriter cut, a build-ID gate, a per-game branch in the host) only when it is absolutely necessary, that is, when no general rule can do it.
 - Per-build knowledge is keyed by the NSO build ID: rewriter cuts in `dm/tools/patch_nso.py`, the profile's `build` rows (the builds the game was brought up on, and their display versions; the NSP script packs any other version from a derived profile, without those builds' fixes), and host behaviour that uses fixed module addresses checks `module_t.build_id` (from `fixups.tsv`; `dm_main_build()`). When a new game build appears, carry addresses over with `dm/tools/nso_fnmap.py` and check them by disassembly; never let fixed addresses run on a build they were not found in.

Playable on an iPhone.
 - **Engine:** Unreal Engine 4.27 (HEXA DRIVE) on SDK 19.3.1, update 1.2.0 (v131072): IoStore containers beside one pak (`pakchunk0-Switch.pak`, version 11, its footer magic 0xcc bytes from the end), the desktop renderer with forward shading, PhysX 3.4, CRIWARE sound (a 6-channel AudioOut) and Sofdec movies (VP9 through the SDK's movie decoder, mode 1, NV12). `subsdk0` is the movie module.
 - **Shaders:** 62,901 in the pak's two shader code archives, every one an LZ4 block (`uepak.py` `lz4_shaders`; the NSP script runs no Oodle host for them). The game has no PC version, so the facts table types nothing; a size query on an image handle now takes the image's type ([04](agents/04-graphics.md)). 62 of the 63 geometry shaders (one-pass cube shadow maps, six layers from one draw) do not build; their draws are skipped (point light shadows).
 - **Host changes:** the audio renderer at 32 kHz (its upsampler exists only for DSP rendering, so the host resamples 3:2 itself), `GetAudioDeviceOutputVolume`, the shop and Nintendo Account calls of the title screen, `kpr::GetKeyCodeMap`, the movie decoder's `nv12-uv-stride` (grey movie in bands), stencil-mode texture builders (the hero dithered), and texture slots 32–39 reading the bound image (characters glowing white in cutscenes) ([03](agents/03-bringup.md), [04](agents/04-graphics.md)).
