Homebrew Discussion Possible Screen Recorder eventually?

[Chipidy]

Ooof. Didn’t realize that was a possibility lol. Yeah, that might work. But might take a while to decode & mod if your going to use Nintendo’s already implemented recording system. But if we create our own it might actually become a thing, in the near future.

Ya that's what I meant .My bad! I edited the OP so people don't get confused .My apologies

True but most liklely it will just over heat i think crash is too extreme

you can record your screen on the Nvidia shield, so we shall see

Hopefully! Thanks for your comment and time!

I think that a screen recorder based on Switch software would run pretty laggy/sluggish (kinda like how it was on the 3DS)

Haha yes I agree. But we are also talking about none Switch Software. Homebrew that uses something else to capture

I think tapping into the existing video recording feature is probably the easiest way to go. Modify what's there, remove the 30 second limit, remove game restrictions, and change the button behavior to be a start-stop button.

And of course I'd use the daylights out of it. You could post gameplay videos on YouTube without needing to use a capture card (as long as you weren't live streaming). Take any camera, make a video of you while you're playing it, throw it along with the Switch's recording in your favorite video editing software and you're good to go.

I would just use a capture card

Yes, but that costs a solid 90$.

Not like you have to exclusively use it for the Switch. I've got an ElGato HD60s that I use for my Xbox One and Original, and my Switch.

I know, but a free solution is what I'd prefer.

Build it then. We all want things. I either pay for it, or wait patiently.

I wasn't demanding anything. I was just agreeing with the OP.

 

[rad.i.kal]

I wasn't demanding it either, but it is a good point made, create it.

Let's play nice guys/girls . Creating it would be good. But if we want it made 100% because we are to dumb to do it ( myself ) Just make a bounty! Cash incentives work

There's a good idea. Also you can't tell me what to do, I'm going to my room. You aren't my real parent. Ahhhhh

 

[Chipidy]

That's true. I was going to tell you about the adoption .Im sorry! Forgive me?

 

[rad.i.kal]

I'll have to get used to it

Would it even be possible to use the built in recorder? I mean, i can see it working with the little amount of ram and unclocked cpu/gpu, but considering that i don't think anything above 5 minutes would even be possible, or 10 without destroying the switch perfomance.

That's what I'm saying - . Using the switch's software would force it to "remember" more than 30 seconds. That's why I'm saying "NO"! Haha .Just a real-time on and off recording application. I know it's not easy though

Kind of like how memory allocation is?

But a real time recorder would still use a lot of cpu/gpu power, thus leaving to perfomance issues. The thing is, this could indeed be possible, but i cant see it recording more than say, 5 minutes at 360p.

The other option, which it think could work the best, is a screen streaming app or plugin, just like ntr recorder was for the new 3ds.
