Game recompilation as a service

Offer automated tools to help modders port Switch games to PC. Target the emulation and modding community.

Why now

Nintendo's crackdown on emulation creates demand for legal alternatives like static recompilation.

Who for
Game modders and indie devs
Business model
Subscription API access
Effort
A few months

Modders currently need deep technical skills to port games between platforms.

Build cloud-based tools that automate parts of the recompilation process for common game engines.

Charge indie developers who want to port their own games legally.

MVP could be a Discord bot that analyzes game binaries.

Risk: Legal gray area around reverse engineering.
