Ok, this is kind of crazy. PS4 remote play streaming to PC, PC streaming to Switch. You can even make the controls work by following this tutorial. It essentially takes an XInput controller and translates it to a Dualshock 4 input. Would it be possible to have the option for the in-home switching app to be recognized as either Xbox360 or DS4 controller natively? Well anyway, I guess there are other things that have a higher priority right now (like audio streaming), and latency-wise a switch-native remote play homebrew app would of course be miles better, but that's not the point.
That this works at all is cool, keep up the great work!
If you knew better the OC doesn't stress the switch at all. Research the Nvidia Shield.

Can we stream ALL pc games?
Even if they arent our favorite?
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
The nvidia shield uses the very same chip at 2ghz
In short, switch gpu is underclocked by default
Maybe im wrong, but thats what ive heard

From what ive heard, the switch uses a nvidia gpu chip at 1ghz

Can't you read? It's in the title. You can only stream your favorites.

I'm not sure this really says much.
First, this program uses CPU overclocking, not GPU. Overclocking wouldn't be needed if homebrew had GPU-accelerated video decoding.
Guy who ported Lakka, one of the first to mess extensively with CPU OCing, said that his battery bulges now.
The chip itself is fine running faster, but you have to think about both heat in the tiny Switch case and drawing from its battery, especially if you are pushing the GPU at the same time. (Don't think this program does.) Those are the kind of reasons Nintendo clocked the chip so low.

See what I mean about mixed responses.
I guess until this no longer requires overclocking I won't be using it. Still it's a cool app but it's better to be safe than sorry.

How did it run? Was gameplay performance acceptable? I’m mostly interested in doing the same thing since I don’t do much PC gaming.
You are 100% wrong except for saying the switch gpu is underclocked. You are getting confused between gpu & cpu clock speeds.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
His battery bulges because like you said, he was one of the first to mess with over clocking. At the time over clocking had not been tested to find the sweet spot. He was most likely over clocking the cpu & gpu. Over clocking only the cpu is not much of a big deal, over clocking the gpu is when the chipset becomes a heater, over clocking both is just straight up bad.
It was alright. Some really occasional stutters, but I didn't really mind that. As for gameplay performance, while latency was definitely noticable, it's actually far less than I expected and really playable.
Now as for image quality, the image gets compressed twice (once by the PS4 and then again the PC) and even with the highest settings on both the remote play app and the in-home switching app (and PC resolution set to 1080p, which is as I understand it, not recommended by the dev) you'll definitely see some compression artifacts.
All in all, and considering this is very much a WIP, it works great.
of course u can. from what I understand this app only show what's showing on ur monitor to ur switch. u can even see ur facebook or instagram on switch not just games.
and the app makes ur joycon recognized as xbox360 controller on pc. now this has been a hit/miss on my experiment.
though most games support it, but games like king bounty is unplayable because it needs mouse mainly and not gamepad/controller. though u can map the keys with joy2key, still the mouse wont show on switch and that makes it unplayable.
other than that, hmm, u need to be close to ur router and in 1 network. I tried it with my pc on the next room , with the switch in the other room (the switch connected to wifi extender, because even though I got mediocre signal from my router in the other room, apparently the switch wont connected to it because that much signal just not enough for it), and it lag so much I would say it's unplayable unless u play game like turn based rpg/strategy that dont need on time response.
then I tried it with my windows tablet that connected in the same room with the switch. both connected to the wifi extender, and voila, it worked great. the lag is bearable and I can even use it to play games like evoland, even with bluetooth headset so I got the sound too.
it's just too bad because if I got the tablet on my side, I wouldnt need the switch anymore. I would need the switch to play games from my pc on the other room, like what I did with remote play from ps4 to psvita.
so yes, the app works. if u're close with ur rooter/wifi extender then u'll have good experience, and dont hope too much when u're a little bit far away and even needs to be on different network (like me, 1 on router, and 1 on wifi extender).
If you knew better you'd know OCs always stress components and influence product life since you're run ing the device at unintended speeds. I'm not about to trash my switch for a petty luxury.
If you knew better you would know that technically this is not over clocking. It would be over clocking if the chipset was clocked to run at higher clock speeds that the shield tv. Technically this "overclock" is still an under clock.

Any chances to see an implementation of this https://github.com/parsec-cloud/web-client ?
There are plenty of solutions on the market and the most famous are
GeForce Now / Moonlight
Steam in Home Streaming
Parsec
Rainway
and now we have this one and while it is great (kudos for the work) it's a pain in the neck to have several servers running on the same machine...

...Trash your switch? Um..even of you used your switch daily in OC (which you won't) by the time it had detrimental effects you'd be on to the next nintendo console anyways. Yes..it's common knowledge OC produces some wear and tear over time on devices.. But to what extent is the question? Minimal, considering your switch is only OC'd in bursts, not 24/7.
Like I said, do some research. Specifically on the Nvidia Shield.
