Hacking Moonlight Embedded on NX

[HyperXewl]

I use this in cinnamon as well if this means anything, thanks to a nice guy who set it up for me ( i met him on a switch discord ) so major props to him.

I downloaded the moonlight-embedded git and just compiled it the way you would anything else really (cmake>make>make install etc) and then ran it from its directory, that's really all it was, the same way you build anything, there was no special thing I had to do.

You can probably use yaourt and do the same thing ( modify the PKGBUILD when prompted and add 'aarch64' to the list of architectures otherwise it'll say it can't )

Does the joycons work with moonlight or are they attached to your pc?

Wait, really? Thought Moonlight wasn't working? Moonlight for Vita has a bit more lag than on my iPad, but I'm assuming the Switch wouldn't have any issues? Would love to see it as homebrew, I'd consider it a killer app, even for the system itself. Is there any video of Moonlight on Switch online?

<+xPaw> the app is pretty much all native code
<+xPaw> theres barely any java
<+xPaw> libmain from steamlink if anyone wants it: https://s.xpaw.me/2018-05/17-172719050.so

Well yeah but if you're in range of the wifi, you're probably in range of the PC as well, so the joycons will probably work.

Today i will try to stream with REMx Launcher

Don't even bother. REMx Launcher has awful speed.

Compiling moonlight should be very easy since it's already ported to ARM. Honestly Im surprised that wasn't the first thing people compiled when Linux was ported.

 

[HyperXewl]

Same here, It's the only reason I wanted this, and it works great - I use it ALL the time.

got moonlight running by editing and compiling PKGBUILD. I have to say it works well but there is more latency than nomachine because 5.0Ghz wifi is not well working on switch linux. i hope someone make a better wifi driver and fix sound and battery issues to make this awesome

I don't know if that's really why bro, did you set your power profile to high?

There is *NO* way it should have more lag, that is ridiculous its roughly the same bandwidth.

If you did not set a power profile, it is laggier by default no matter what, you MUST set a power profile, recommended normal or high.

i set the power to normal undocked clock (about 400mhz). On my phone moonlight works flawlessly
don't you have latency? what bitrate did you use? 2,4ghz wifi or 5?

No. We need a native Moonlight or Nvidia Gamestream app.
