Pokopia Native: native builds of Pokémon Pokopia from a user dump

Pokopia Native builds native Mac, iPhone and Windows versions of the Switch 2 game Pokémon Pokopia from the user's own dump. Its Windows path recompiles the game's arm64 code through LLVM for a native runtime and Vulkan renderer, while the Apple builds run the game's code on Apple silicon with Metal graphics.
