Streaming your PC games to Switch (No latency)
Hi guys! After two days of messing up things i finally found a way to proper stream pc (and emulated) games to switch.
The result
What you'll need
A nintendo switch console with arch linux (thanks to natinusala for the awesome guide i will follow your guide bones
https://gbatemp.net/threads/quick-tuto-how-to-boot-linux-on-your-switch.501918/)
A Gaming PC
A fast wifi connection
What works
Near 0 latency streaming
No FPS drops under 30
No crashes
Nice image quality
What doesn't work/cons
No Sound (Pump up your speakers Volume)
Joycon Input (Connect them to PC thanks to NoThisIsStupider) https://gbatemp.net/threads/connecting-joycons-to-pc-tutorial-with-analog-support.471017/)
Short range because of Joycon connection to PC
Screen tearing can happen sometimes
Let's Begin (PC HOST)
Download and install Nomachine software https://www.nomachine.com/
reboot your pc then open Nomachine service and set it like screenshots

Now connect to your switch through SSH Protocol and launch the following commands (you can type those on switch terminal too):
su (enter password)
wget http://download.nomachine.com/download/6.1/Arm/nomachine_6.1.6_4_aarch64.tar.gz
mv nomachine_6.1.6_4_aarch64.tar.gz /usr
cd /usr
tar xvf nomachine_6.1.6_4_aarch64.tar.gz
cd NX
./nxserver --install slackware
when the installer is done launch the program from your app menu and type your host pc ip address to connect.
Now the most important part required to get minimal latency: Tap the right top edge of the switch screen and click on Display --> Change Settings and set it like this photo https://imgur.com/a/0g79JMV
I'm sorry for bad English, please tell me if something is not plain and i will edit the post.
Tell me also if you find problems or better settings so i can update this thread.
Now enjoy your pc games on our favorite console!
