TY for the update!

Was anything done to the nvidia encoding? It seems to be working a bit smoother for me now compared to the CPU one
Also, the app doesn't auto set the resolution on the desktop even with the opton ticked on.
And when i choose the Intel encoding option and hit start stream, it never shows up on my switch screen.

Keep up the good work man

Do you have intel integrated graphics?
Also the desktop res change needs to be worked on still.
And nvidia encoding was rebalanced a little but I still feel it is a bit more latency than cpu. So it's good to choose cpu if the game isn't too cpu intensive or the gpu is maxed by the game, and gpu if the game doesn't max the gpu and the cpu usage isn't too high.

Ok @ the intel encoding issue nvm I was reading it wrong and thought it was made for intel cpu's. not integrated graphics lol. I have an nvidia 1070, and have been doing my testing with borderlands 2 via steam. Perhaps that game just works better off the gpu. TY for the tips!

If you have an Intel CPU, you probably have integrated graphics built in that you can enable in the BIOS as a “secondary” GPU. I have 2 AMD Vegas, but I leave my integrated graphics enabled to use QuickSync for things like this.

If you will connect Switch to Wi-fi without internet, it will disconnect and shows error.

It just doesn't use internet to stream data.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And to OP - couldn't you just make one thread without version number instead of making multiple topics about the same homebrew?

Is there a tool that does the opposite of this tool? Streaming the Switch Video/Audio to a PC? Like Kit-Kat does for the 3DS
Edit: Yes there is! "SysDVR"

Hopefully the inputdelay is a bit better in this version?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
