Building

To build make sure you have Visual Studio installed (I use 2017, older versions may not work) and open the solution (.sln), then build the solution as release. It should compile properly on the latest.

In the event that the tool cannot compile, check references. All the libraries used are stored in Switch-Toolbox/Lib folder.
