==User guide==
Download the latest build on the [https://github.com/KillzXGaming/Switch-Toolbox/releases release page].
 
If this program does not open, make sure to unblock the zip file then extract.
 
You also need to install the following:
* [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 Direct X]
* [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads C++ redist]
 
These are required for most texture viewing as it is the main library to decompress/compress these back.
