Homebrew Question Stream PC games to Switch (best method?)

GaaraPrime · Jan 13, 2020

Hey guys,

I have an Nvidia GPU (GTX1070) and I wanna stream my PC games to my Switch (especially Warframe). Now, while searching on the internet and youtube, I found there are three methods...

In-Home Switching.
Android LineageOS (Parsec)
Android LineagaeOS (Moonlight)

Just that the guides and threads I found about these are at least 6 to 8 months old, and I wanna know which one is the most updated and best currently.

Anyone has personal experience with any of these, please provide your suggestion.

Thank you

In-home switching and only use 0.1. 0.2 doesnt work

I haven't tried anything else other than Moonlight, but it works perfectly even on my lousy setup.

Moonlight works only on android, since there isn't a port for it on horizon.

So OP, if you want a way, you gotta use android. In home switching doesn't work anymore unfortunately and the project has been abandoned.

edit:

Never mind, OP had mentioned that moonlight works for android, sorry about that.

boot on android and use parsec gaming

With an Nvidia GPU either use Moonlight or the official Nvidia GameStream client on Android. It's the best streaming experience you can get on Switch.

I have used In-Home-Streaming 0.2 to play Assassins Creed, there was a very tiny delay... couldn't tell while playing unless i compare the live feed with it.. so it was playable fine on my home setup

The audio isn't best though.. thats the only downside. but whatever

I want to try android method... but dont want to bother with switching sd cards to switch OS.. and neither do i want to partition my current sd card; too much work involved for me lol

I might give Parsec a go, I like Moonlight but sometimes it works great and other times it just keeps disconnecting every few minutes

Here to tell you guys that this method...

Android LineagaeOS (Moonlight)

worked GREAT! I restricted the stream bitrate to 720p and there were no lags at all. The audio and the controls worked great. Can't wait for the Switchroot team to release Android Pie

PS: I used this guide to setup Android on my Switch and then Moonlight...

Hello, nobody had a problem with the left Joy-Con sticker? Mine works like 8 axis pad. The movements of the character are straight. Do you know what I mean?
Than you

the best way is with steam link (you can access your whole desktop through it)

This is a known issue with switch Android, the joysticks don't seem to have analog support. So basically you move the joysticks you're getting all or nothing. There's no fix yet that I'm aware of.

So minus that, to answer the op I've only ever used moonlight and it works really great. I've had it lag at times, or drop rez to near unrecognizable garbage, especially when I wonder to far from the router but all in all a disconnect and refresh fixed those issues when they occur. If you're running nvidea I recommend going that route.
