Hi thanks for this! For me, I've got a good network connection but mostly getting 30fps framerates. After several minutes it spikes up to 60-120, but the framerate still plays less than 40 from what I can tell, while the actual onscreen is a smooth 60. I am not too concerned though as I can see you are actively working on SkyNX. Thanks for your efforts! This is what I've been hoping for a long time!

A few suggestions if they haven't been already requested:

- auto start minimized, to system tray
- auto start app when connected
- auto start stream when opened

For me, I would love for this app to sit in the background of my PC, waiting to be needed, and auto start steam big picture mode when connected. Thanks again for all the hard work.

Well, here the program won't start streaming at all, as soon as I press the "Start Streamer" button, it just ends automatically or it seems to not connect to my switch at all. It also gives the following error on the console:

av_interleaved_write_frame(): Unknown error Error writing trailer of tcp://192.168.0.17:2222: Error number -10054 occurred frame= 1 fps=0.0 q=19.0 Lsize= 75kB time=00:00:00.01 bitrate=37091.3kbits/s speed=0.696x video:75kB audio:0kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead: 0.000000%

Excited to see the future of this project anyways, cheers!

Works pretty well for me.

Some kind of unrelated questions:

Does using 90dns slow this down?

Also, I don't notice rumble working - anyone else notice this?

Mine just says "waiting for connection" and never connects. My Switch and PC are on the same network and I entered the IP correctly and everything

I fixed mine by downloading an older version of the release on github, the newest release didn't installed properly for some odd reason, the program on the pc is supposed to open a cmd window asking you to allow a program that It didn't do it the first time around.

Whats the best way to use local wifi on the switch without it trying to fetch updates for games etc.

Id like to give this a whirl but last time i connected my switch to the web i ended up with game update nags etc so i never use wifi anymore.

Just echoing some other comments on here. My audio is distorted too in dock. Not distorted when playing outside of dock. I am following the instructions correctly.

Perhaps its got something to do with the fact that I am using a soundbar to output my TV audio?

Other than that, this works great. Many thanks.

Excuse me how do you get audio to come out of the Nintendo Switch? It only comes out of my pc headset.

Restart your pc once. The audio driver may not have picked up

Wait for my next release. I'm adding a nvec, Nvidia accelerated encoding. It is cpu intensive witout it at the moment.
But if your laptop doesn't ahve a gpu... may just not be fast enough

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
