Could you build this?

No This repo is an emulator port, native game engine reimplementation, or reverse-engineered runtime for Mass Effect targeting Nintendo Switch (NX).

What it would actually take: Implemented in C/C++ using the Nintendo Switch homebrew toolchain (devkitA64, libnx) and graphics translation layers (NVN/Vulkan). The bottleneck is reverse engineering game binaries or decompiled assets, shader translation, and optimizing memory bandwidth for the Tegra X1 architecture. Requires deep reverse engineering, graphics API internals, and console platform development expertise.

Same idea, different domain

Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.

{# Ad rails are position:fixed (see app.css's .sponsor-rail), so moving them after
in source order is purely cosmetic for the DOM -- visually they stay pinned left/right exactly as before. Put here so a linear text reader (an automated site-verification crawler, a screen reader, a search engine) hits the real page content first instead of a wall of repeated "Open slot" ad-placeholder filler before ever reaching a sentence about what Nicheloom is. #}
