@SooraMaru thanks for the details. For the artifacts: which game/screen was it, and does it flash for a single frame or stay for about a second? If you can, send /config/switch-frame-tap/log.txt and last.txt from the SD card right after it happens. For the smoothness: what refresh rate is your monitor? On 144 Hz 60 fps can look uneven.

@kingboxnt thanks, which homebrew app is it, and did you launch it from a forwarder on the home screen or from the album?

My monitor is a standard 60 Hz display. AMD Software reports the actual refresh rate as 59.45 Hz, so I'm not using a 120/144 Hz display.

Regarding the artifacts, I've seen them in multiple games. In Pokémon Sword/Shield they often appear when opening/closing menus or during screen transitions. I've also seen artifacts in Smash, especially in moving/animated backgrounds.

I am attaching the log files and some brief evidence from Pokémon Sword.

Bringing up the keyboard is abnormal for all homebrew software, for example, SwitchWave-1.1.2-e9a7737. If you want to test it, use this software: in the Editor, select the text input field and press X.
 
v0.7.1 is out, fixing what you reported.

@kingboxnt the keyboard works again, in homebrew and in games. The sysmodule was using up a small budget the system shares between applets, so the keyboard crashed when it opened. Thanks for the SwitchWave tip.

@SooraMaru the corrupted frames should be gone. Pokemon hands over frames before the GPU finishes them and the capture sometimes took a half-drawn one. For the 60 fps smoothness, could you send viewer.log (next to SwitchFrameTap.exe) after a few minutes of a 60 fps game?

Minecraft and Smash stream properly now too.

While I personally can't get behind using a project made like this I do really appreciate AI usage being disclaimed. More projects need to do this.

This is the future, the majority of code will be done by an llm. It will create a market for people to untangle dodgey llm code and a people who know how to get good code and ideas out of an llm. And yes it should be noted that an llm was used. I let Claude put in its 2 cents whenever i use it to create /modify something.

Coding used to be about knowing syntax and best practices, now it will be about explaining your idea/requirements to an llm so it can produce a good result.
