## What it is
A desktop GUI tool for editing many Nintendo Switch, 3DS, and Wii U game file formats, including models, textures, animations, archives, and audio. It supports importing/exporting models (DAE, FBX, OBJ) and previewing shaders, effects, and audio formats.

## Use cases
- edit BFRES models and textures from Switch or Wii U games
- extract and replace textures in BNTX or GTX files
- import DAE or FBX models into game archives
- convert game audio between WAV, OGG, and BFSTM formats
- unpack and repack SARC or RARC game archives
- preview animations and shaders from game files

## When to choose
- modding Nintendo Switch, 3DS, or Wii U games
- editing models, textures, or animations in proprietary game formats
- extracting assets from game archives

## When to avoid
- you need XCI/NSP/NCA support, which was removed
- you need actively maintained software, as the project is archived
- you need Linux-native tooling without compatibility layers
