Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and Xenoblade Chronicles X are public; Hollow Knight: Silksong is listed as public for PC only. The manager supports Windows and Linux, with per-game profiles and an in-game overlay. Setup guidance covers supported PC emulators and extracting files for installation on a Switch SD card.
