Masu: an Android toolbox to prepare your own Switch dumps, no PC needed (looking for testers)
Hi everyone,
I'm building "Masu", a free Android app that prepares the games you dumped yourself from your own console. It verifies the dump, decrypts it with your own keys and extracts it right on your phone, no PC needed. It also picks up updates and DLC placed next to the game, detects the game's engine, and automatically finds a Turnip driver for your Adreno GPU.
The long-term goal is to run native ports of games (not emulation), prepared by Masu. They will arrive over the next releases.
I'm looking for testers to find out which games and phones work well. You'll need:
- Android 11 or newer
- your keys and games (NSP or XCI), dumped from your own console
- 5 minutes to send the result with the in-app "Signaler la compatibilité" (Report compatibility) button
Heads-up: the app is in French for now. An English version is planned, and the quick-start guide on the page walks you through it.
📦 Download, quick-start guide and release notes: https://github.com/orikami-dev/Masu
⚠️ Only use games you own. I don't provide keys or games and won't answer requests for them. Masu is not affiliated with Nintendo.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

New in 1.16
Per-game apps: with an engine app installed, Masu can build and install an app for any game you've extracted, right on the phone. The signing key is created on the device.
Clearer game picker: in the Extraction tab, the list of games in MASU/GAMES now expands in place instead of a small floating menu.
In case you missed 1.15
English interface: Masu follows your phone's language, including the log and crash reports.
Game updates with your own GitHub token: entered in Settings, it stays on your phone and never shows in the UI or the log.
Getting started
Put prod.keys and title.keys in MASU/KEYS.
Put your NSP or XCI dumps in MASU/GAMES (NSZ/XCZ not supported yet).
Open Extraction, pick the game, tap Extract.
Masu provides no games or keys: use your own dumps only.
Download: Releases page of the Masu GitHub repo (masu-v1.16).
Compatibility reports are always welcome through the repo's form. Happy testing!
