Just out of curiosity, thanks for your very had work on this project and recent update to v1.2 on the app. Just want to clear matters up a bit with yourself and also I don't want in any way to create a war between yourselves I just want to know, and this is up to the users discretion but could we know which app is better to use, more up to date features for example, is it yours or Maschells build or are they just on the same level but a bit different in his being able to choose button configs and yours basically the same or is yours better or his better, it may help out to decide quicker which app to choose? thanks.
They're both good at swapping displays equally but provide a different audience because of the exclusive features they both have.
Exclusive features SwapDRC includes:
- TCPGecko
- Cafiine
- Switch Gamepad Sensor Bar
- Splatoon Enhanced Controls
- Set your own button combo
The common feature both have is the ability to press the TV button to swap screens (SwapDRC also still uses L + Minus combo). Both apps may have the same purpose but has different features that suit the user, it's up to them what they think is better for them. Like if you don't care everything SwapDRC has and you only want SwipSwapMe's custom button combo, you may use it. It doesn't bother me at all .
Until then I still don't know how to properly implement the custom button combo feature into SwapDRC unless we get a proper GUI for setting them. I don't have enough knowledge to make a GUI so hopefully @Maschell and/or someone can help me make one. I'm still trying to keep SwapDRC up to date
We have to make difference between personal wishes (complicated) and public interest (easy and fun for everyone).
- we need a clean code, a clean functionality only to switch between TV screen and Gamepad screen (like SwipSwapME 0.1) -
- it's easy, family friendly and usable only to switch between TV screen and Gamepad screen -
- and needs complicated code for those who want different tweaks in the various games (like Swap DRC) -
So we have to make difference between our personal wishes (complicated) and public interest (easy for everyone).
Suggestion for SwipSwap ME (easy) and Swap DRC (complicated)
- hold down the TV button for 3 seconds to turn off/on the Gamepad screen -
I might consider making another branch of the app called SwapDRC Lite that has everything from the latest release but it doesn't have a GUI, TCPGecko, and Cafiine. I don't know how well it will do but for people who want a simple app package, I think it's worth a shot.
I also like the suggestion about holding the TV button for 3 seconds to switch off/on the gamepad screen. I'll consider this too.
