No Rewriting Nintendo Switch NSO binaries and translating proprietary NVN graphics calls to Apple Metal while hosting Horizon OS system calls requires world-class systems emulation and graphics engineering.
What it would actually take: This project requires deep expertise in ARM64 binary static recompilation/rewriting, high-level emulation (HLE) of the Nintendo Switch Horizon microkernel/OS services, and an intermediate graphics translation layer converting Tegra X1 NVN/Vulkan shader IR and command buffers directly into Apple Metal. Only a tiny handful of elite emulator and low-level graphics developers possess this skill set.
