Sadly, this didn't fix completely the issue with XCX. It goes back to 720p, but after 2-3 seconds it goes again to 1080p and stays there. Here is clean log

If you are doing this only by guessing from framebuffer, wouldn't be better to give option to user to decide for themselves? Only 2 resolutions matter in handheld - 1280x720 and 1920x1080. Though ReverseNX-RT allows forcing for very few games different resolutions so if that matters for you, you can add some way to manually input things?

Hey!

All of the games I've tried worked well, but I'm running into an issue with Fire Emblem : Three Houses only displaying a black screen in menus or glitched frames in-game.

Log and screencap of what I'm seeing in the viewer, tried changing for UVC/network and messing with most of the settings but nothing fixed this so far.

Sick work by the way, getting video out from a Lite feels kind of unreal :yay:

@masagrator thanks for the log. XCX keeps drawing outside the 720p corner even in handheld, so the picture check put it back to 1080p. The next version trusts the game's own picture size once it has reported 1080p, which should fix it. A manual 720p/1080p switch is a good idea, I'll add it if auto still misses games.
@kaani thanks! In Three Houses it picked the wrong memory block for the frames. Also fixed in the next version.
@darkskyVN about 46 ms from the game's frame to the PC screen in my tests (22 on the console, 24 on the PC). Press O in the viewer to see it live. I haven't measured SysDVR side by side.
@digdat0 thanks!

Haha thanks, I thought it was boring lol. It is just what the app does literally. It taps into the switch frames so they can be streamed
Hey! Quick question — would it be possible to have Switch Frame Tap save the 1080p60 H.264 recording directly to the Switch's microSD instead of sending it to the PC?


Basically: Game → Frame Tap → H.264 1080p60 → microSD


Is the SD write speed/encoding the limiting factor, or is this something that could realistically be added?
