## What it is
A Windows-only C++ GUI for TegraRcmSmash that injects payloads into Nintendo Switch consoles via the Fusée Gelée RCM exploit. It also supports running Linux on the Switch, mounting the device as USB mass storage, and dumping BIS keys.

## Use cases
- inject payloads into a Nintendo Switch in RCM mode
- run Linux on an unpatched Switch with ShofEL2
- mount the Switch as USB mass storage to access SD card and NAND partitions
- dump BIS keys for eMMC content decryption
- automatically inject a payload when the Switch is plugged in RCM mode
- manage favorite payloads for quick injection

## When to choose
- you have an unpatched (pre-July 2018) Nintendo Switch and want a simple Windows GUI for payload injection
- you want extras like USB mass storage mounting or BIS key dumping in one tool
- you prefer a tray-resident app with auto-injection on device connection

## When to avoid
- your Switch is patched (manufactured after July 2018) since the RCM exploit does not work
- you are on Linux, macOS, or Android and need a cross-platform launcher
- you need actively maintained software with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, developer-tools
- domain: gaming-tools, hardware, windows
- platform: windows
- tags: nintendo-switch, fusee-gelee, payload-injection, rcm-exploit, homebrew, desktop
