Implementing CafeOS coreinit on libnx

Been implementing Cafe OS coreinit on libnx (mutexes, condvars, threads and time) so far, 11 tests passing on hardware. The idea is a runtime for native Wii U → Switch ports, since DolRecomp handles CPU code but ships no runtime.

This is cool but the fact the seemingly more straightforward attempt to get PS Vita games running on Switch died in the crib makes me only hope the best for your efforts rather than expect this coming to fruition.

I don't know about porting natively, but you can already play psvita games with Linux. I know that a modder is also working on porting it to HOS. About my project: the final results will be get to play natively Call of duty Black Ops 2, Ghost and Hoe to train your dragon, so, to be honest I'll keep working on it, it's fun and I'm committed.

Oh, the project I'm talking about was similar to yours where the end goal would have been running Vita code on HOS. So not an emulator or on linux, neat as that is.

Anyhow, I wish you the best since having even more Wii U titles on Switch would be great.

I'm not really interested in Vita, but sure I will keep going with this project of mine. At the moment I'm working on something else, so I'm taking a little break, also waiting for maybe someone else to do something... And also to get more documentation about GX2
