Hacking RELEASE NXController - Use PC keyboard to play Switch games (Windows/Mac OS/Linux)

[Real.96]

I'm glad to announce you this fantastic app, developed by wwwwwwzx!
NXController will let you play your Switch games using your PC keyboard. It takes advantage of sys-botbase, a great sys-module made by olliz0r, which also lets you to read/write into Switch RAM or run scripts.

Requirements:

• CFW (for a CFWless way, look here)
• sys-botbase nsp(https://github.com/olliz0r/sys-botbase/releases)
• NXController(https://github.com/wwwwwwzx/NXController/releases)

Usage:
1) Put sys-botbase nsp inside atmosphere/contents/430000000000000B on your SD card and rename it to exefs.nsp
2) Create a new folder in sdmc:/atmosphere/contents/430000000000000B named "flags". Create a empty file called boot2.flag inside this folder. Restart your switch.
3) In your Switch, go inside System Settings > Internet and take note of your IP Address
4) Open NXController, select IP (sys-botbase), write your IP Address in the box and click connect

From now your keyboard will be connected to the Switch, you can start send inputs. It has a similar configuration as yuzu:

You can anyway edit them from app Settings.

NOTE
Some games (Pokémon SwSh for example) which use local wireless will break wifi connection once opened. To avoid this we use another sys-module: ldm_mitm (https://github.com/spacemeowx2/ldn_mitm/releases)

1) Download and open ldn_mitm zip
2) Put bot folder one the root of your SD card
3) Restart the Switch

Scripting Examples:

Let us know what you think about it!

Interesting. This coupled with AutoHotkey could allow for scripted botting in certain games.

Scripting is in plan! There is already a way to bot anyway, you can take a look at sys-basebot python example script in its github link

Can't seem to get it working unfortunately, Switch doesn't respond to inputs. I don't think I did anything wrong, hm.

I edited the post, you have to rename sys-botbase.nsp to exefs.nsp

This is perfect. I was looking some way to play DOOM on N-switch with keyboard and mouse but I gone for pc. Hopefully mouse usage will be added.

Sadly still not working, this is how the files/paths looks like, and I also got the IP correct definitely. Am I doing something wrong?

How would we use the SYSBOT.NET with this sorry if it's obvious

Did you try directly in game or in home? Does it work in home? Does the app connect to Switch or does it give you an error? Can you try create a new boot2.flag, restart the switch and try again?

You have to check instructions of the wiki in github project

Would this work for System Shock on Retroarch?

Speaking of which, where the heck is that game as far as official switch release.

Never tryed Retroarch, but i think it should work if controller works on it!

have any way to configure the mouse or even its buttons in the application

Thank you for the quick replies, I tried in game, the app doesn’t give any errors and seems to connect fine. I’ll try with another flag.

Try in home first. If you're trying with pokemon, you need ldn_mitm

Thank you for your help, it’s working now!

Wow, that's Wonderful! Add a mouse support — and I'll just quit my PC.

you mean mouse buttons click, right?

 

[mathew77]

mouse buttons click

Well, my dream is a software alternative of this piece of equipment:



https://www.amazon.com/Cross-Hair-converter-PS4-XBox/dp/B010MUZ56Q/

It maps usb keyboard AND mouse to any Nintendo Switch games, just like a PC.

Is it possible to do the same thing but with bluetooth controllers?
