Partial A packer that splits a Switch RomFS into about 100 files is a file-format tool that can be vibe-coded once the format is understood. Making large games actually install and run on iOS depends on specialized reverse-engineering and emulation work.
What it would actually take: The archive side requires documenting the RomFS format and writing a packer and unpacker, which is moderate effort. The install side depends on the nxnative runtime and iOS sideloading mechanisms, which need deep reverse engineering of Nintendo's formats and iOS internals. Legal exposure is also significant.
