  • Custom graphics backend for mpv using deko3d, supporting:
    • Playback at 4k60fps
    • Direct rendering (faster software decoding)
    • Custom post-processing shaders
  • Custom audio backend for mpv using native Nintendo APIs, supporting layouts up to 5.1 surround
  • Network playback through Samba, NFS or SFTP
  • External drive support using Libusbhsfs Switch
  • Rich and responsive user interface, even under load
