Could you build this?
No Building an Atmosphère sysmodule requires deep low-level console homebrew systems engineering, embedded C/C++, IPC with Nintendo Switch OS (Horizon/libnx), and porting Tailscale's networking stack to an unstandardized embedded environment.
What it would actually take: To build this, a developer needs deep expertise in Nintendo Switch system architecture, libnx, and Atmosphère sysmodule creation. The architecture involves cross-compiling Go (tailscaled) or a C/Rust wireguard/tailscale client for Switch's Horizon OS (AArch64), creating virtual network interfaces via custom Horizon IPC sockets, and routing packets through the internal network stack. Specialized debugging hardware, switch firmware exploit knowledge, and low-level networking expertise are non-negotiable.
