Redditor Uses AI To Get Switch Games Running Natively On Apple TV

A Reddit developer posting as u/FloatingFalafel released TVPort, an open-source fork of the nxnative toolkit that recompiles Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 games to run natively on Apple TV 4K using a Mac and Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5. The project backs up save files to Mac or iCloud and lets users target 30 or 60 fps; Super Mario Odyssey reportedly runs at 60 fps with occasional stutters and audio glitches near waterfalls, while Animal Crossing: New Horizons is capped at 30 fps. The release adds to a wave of Claude Code-driven porting efforts, including reverse-engineered Adobe Creative Cloud alternatives and browser-based game recompiles. It matters because it hints at a cheaper path to bringing console software to living-room hardware without official ports. What to watch next: compatibility and performance reports across the broader Switch library, and whether TVPort's fixes for games that load textures differently get folded back into the upstream nxnative toolkit.
