I will indeed be working on motion controls for Cemu.

Thanks XD I figured I give em 1 reply and not reply to the rest. First time dealing with large numbers of comments... XD

Did you put it in the dock and then start the app or did you put it in while it was running?

That sounds like a network issue. Has nothing to do with your internet speeds and all to do with your router.
But give everything A nice reboot, your pc, router, and see if it is just hardware fatigue

Sxos Latest. Using Both forwarder and nro. Connected to network but not internet.

App worked really well for me. Thanks for sharing.

I did notice my PC started randomly making the USB un-plugged, re-plugged sound effect though. Maybe something to do with those drivers? I've uninstalled them to make sure it was the cause.

Idk if it even works on Sxos.. I have atmopshere to build on.
Should work fine though if it is connected to lan.
Are you saying it is working for you?

I had this bug too. If it happens just restart the app. It has something to do with it not properly terminating the last connection intermittenly

Nah, I'm talking about a computer restart, app never was ran and I still got the USB replug sounds. I've uninstalled the 2 drivers and it seems to have fixed it for me. Will try again later to make sure that was the cause. But Excellent work on the app, truly great.

is there a workaround for getting it to work without an internet connected router?
The reason is my powerful 5ghz router does not have internet, at my vacction place. So I use my phone for 4g hotspot.

My asian/japanese switch cant see 5ghz networks on my phone hotspot. because you need to change the channel of the wifi for asian switches to see 5ghz, which only routers can do not phones.

So my 5ghz non Internet connected router is the best way to gamestream for the switch.

I had InHomeSwitch working till yesterday. Now, I'm trying your app but: when I start the streaming the latency is absurd for some seconds (audio is working fine though) and then it disconnects. I already uninstalled previous drivers, reinstalled yours... nothing T.T

Error in the console is (I added a "*" instead of my path)


*\SkyNXStreamer-win32-ia32\resources\app\NxStreamingService\node_modules\struct\index.js:355 throw new Error('Buffer size too small for struct layout !'); ^ Error: Buffer size too small for struct layout ! at Struct._setBuff.setBuffer (*\SkyNXStreamer-win32-ia32\resources\app\NxStreamingService\node_modules\struct\index.js:355:19) at parseInputStruct (*\

can some one help me? I found out that choosing 10 instead of 20 laggs less ahah! (Of course 10 is not enough to be smooth)...

I have a question. If your pc isn't great at running a certain game will it struggle one the switch?

Yes, it will.

As for the performance on my end of things, its just unsatisfactory. Mind you, I'm the kind of guy to who will tests fighting games, but classic arcade-style games are just not an option for this kind of thing. I tried the Wi-fi, slideshow. Even with an Ethernet connection directly from my router while the thing was docked, it was a slideshow.

Honestly, to go on a soapbox about streaming for a second, while I get why solutions like the Steam Link and, from what I've experienced of Nvidia streaming are praised, the fact is, these solutions just aren't perfect, and its been done over and over again where this shit simply doesn't work with anything even resembling 100% connections with no distortion, lag, or whatever. The best experience I've ever personally had was using the Steam Link in my living room with six-eight walls between my main PC and my parents' TV. I was able to play through the first stage in Mega Man X and a little bit of Storm Eagle and experienced a surprisingly consistent connection, with some dropouts and lag here and there. But the whole appeal of the Switch is being able to take it with you, something that, given the current situation of how things are in the world, combined with the fact that the Switch is, IMO, not exactly one of those things you'd want to be caught by a robber at gunpoint with (don't you just love it when your state releases the violent prisoners due to a virus?), I just can't see the appeal of this idea when I have a TV connected to my PC where I can play everything in there when I have time and play something to pass the time the few times I go outside. Besides, I'd rather see native ports of the games people mention wanting to play on the Switch or emulation where possible.

But the fact is, the ceiling for emulation on the Switch is the same as that of the SHIELD TV's: Dreamcast, plus some GC and maybe Wii if you like to tinker around with shit. I am honestly tired of tinkering and would rather, at this point, focus more on playing games as opposed to making sure I can play KOF2002UM or KOF13 on my Switch when SNK are the ones leaving money on the table by not porting those versions of the games to the system as opposed to hacking together some emulator to run arcade games a WinXP machine in 2005 can play just fine, and, when you think about it, for less. I'd rather they port over the games that can't be emulated easily as opposed to WinKawaks/Raine/Nebula/NeoRAGEx/MAME 2003+-era games. That's something I'd pay for as opposed to the homebrew-esque original made by SNK on life support from EO-LITH!

That first line was meant for you. The rest was just yours truly despairing the fact that people are willing to resort to something that really requires someone to own their own place, pay for quality internet if your options aren't FuckYouCast. If devs were more proactive about developing code to make it possible to run on platforms where playing a few matches or doing something quick that doesn't require 5-6 hours of dedicated concentration, then the Switch could be the greatest porting machine for ideal ports of every game ever.

Only problem being that most of those said ports of games are confined to the 7th generation of consoles, of whom's emulation that's not called the Wii requires an i7 to be able to definitively do everything.

For those that tried it, how's the lag?

Also, DevL0rd, would it not be possible to output at higher resolutions from the PC (e.g. 1440p) but encode the video stream at 720p, so that at least you get better quality and the switch doesn't have to downscale the stream?

So I have been using this homebrew none stop since it came out, I have to say that I am really loving it!
I've run Pcsx2 with no issues at all as well as rpcsx3 (only think I faced was slow button responses which I think is from the emulator since everything else worked fine.)
I've run all of my games and it ran very smoothly. I think the only thing that was a tiny issue was when I would run my games through this homebrew and my PC would prompt for admin permission, the connection would cutout until I manually click allow from my PC, this wasn't really much of an issue as I would have to do it only once for each game that required it.
overall, I think this is a literal game-changer for me and can't wait for future updates. thank you!
EDIT: I forgot to touch on the lag, it was barely there for me, the moment I experienced it, I immediately switched my internet connection to another one and it ran pretty nicely.
I didn't play any fps games or anything that required precision and top-notch fast gameplay (don't think this anyone who would want something like that should or would resort to this homebrew)

YOu could supersample games within the settings. Like setting render resolution to more than 100 and such. Depends on the game.

Tested on Offline and Online game who support controller.. O..M..G

Have: 3.2GHz i7, GTX1070, 32GB Ram, 43" 4K screen.
Such a bit laggy in 4k, but in 720p.. just Woah.

This worked so good! I tested it on my iMac bootcamp windows and it worked great. Obviously didn’t try a game that was too demanding FF13 but it still worked great. Can only imagine it would work amazing on a good Pc setup. I’m also using SXOS for anyone wondering if it runs on that.

Hello. I may be having an uncommon problem. When I try to stream it, it streams for a second then the stream automatically stops. This is happening every time I try it. I see the image of my computer for a second, then it stops. What causes this?
