sys-hidplus: a brand new sysmodule that allows you to emulate gamepads over the network for Parsec

Glad to see you are back! gonna test it out first thing tomorrow. Sleep now.

 

How bad's the lag? I've tried GimX + Capture Card (Elgato HD60s) + Moonlight and Mario has too much lag.

 

If my session with an older brother (who lives not too far from where I am) on PC was any indication, it was just like being in the room with the person, the very occasional lag and lack of in-person trash talk notwithstanding.

Still, I'm a little confused; it allows us to stream the games from the Switch, or stream to the other person's Switch? Or stream the game/"desktop" from my PC to the Switch? I'm excited because Parsec has worked awesomely for myself as the host, but how it works here is going to depend on however its implemented. Also, I'm going to have to resort to using Horizon again for homebrew (which I was going to have to do anyways as not even battery performance on external battery packs with mounts to the Switch seem to be capable of keeping the Switch charge going up, only slowing its descent.)

 

I don't get it. Someone who live really far would be able to a game with you by sending input over internet? How he'll get the picture?

 

Oh, capture card and such, now I get it.

 

I see. So, by either using a capture card or this sysmodule in conjunction with sysDVR, one can host their games from their Switch to other people's PCs, phones, or whatever else (other hacked Switches) running Parsec. That about sum it up?

I'm sort of trying to make things crystal clear for those trying to gauge the possibilities of this sysmodule, because while the above scenario is cool, one could theoretically take their own Switch games, rip 'em, put it on PC, fire up Yuzu, and stream the game to others' PC's. And to just be able to stream those games from the Switch to the PC which will then stream those games to others in the Parsec lobbies is fine, but an idea I had was to maybe try to use this solution to, say, stream me playing the PC version of, say, Crysis 3 at max settings onto my Switch.

I know, "why not just use Steam Link?," but Parsec, compared to all of the other streaming services I've used so far, has had the best performance out of the one time I tried the Moonlight solution for Horizon, and Steam Link itself which really seems to only be for if you're in the same house as your PC, and as long as the game doesn't require a M/KB, then it should be playable on the Switch itself since all of the standard buttons are there.

 

Thank you so much!! Been waiting for this. Can't wait to try it out!

 

Its possible to use SysDVR with parsec?

 

This is incredible! This past week me and my friends were trying to see how we could pull something like this off. I was gonna install a VM to use Linux to emulate JoyCon and go through a whole process and then I see this comes out! I tested it with my girlfriend and it works really well! One thing that it conflicts with though, is jam1garner's Minecraft Skin Selector mod for Smash. When I installed sys-hidplus and selected Steve in the character select screen, the mod menu came up but then the whole switch froze and softlocked. Not sure why they're conflicting with each other but thought I'd share that and maybe you can see if you can replicate the issue yourself? I also have "MissionControl" and "syscon" sysmodules installed(which also deal with controller inputs). Aside from the issue with the Minecraft Smash mod, this is really awesome and I'm excited to see how progress goes!

 

I'm gonna make time to check this out, awesome!

 

nothing happening make i something wrong?

 

For some reason I had to go to "C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32" and rename python.exe to python3.exe or I would get "python3' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

After that I ran the command, but it says:
welcome!
No gamepads found

Did I do anything wrong?

 

you are a genious i copy the python folder to my input_pc file
rename the python.exe to python 3 and it works (No gamepad found)

> now i send my desktop over parsec to my girlfriend pc > connect a controler to the pc
and it works

 

Glad to hear. But you say it also said for you "no gamepad found"? But then you follow up by saying it works for you? You mean you need to connect something like an xbox controller to pc first?

EDIT:
Yes you are right! You are a genius too!
Though it looks a bit strange... it shows 7 controllers.. when I hookup my DS4 controller via DS4windows.

Like in this pic.

I can now use my DS4 controller to controll my switch. Guess I now just let someone come in via parsec on my desktop, and join in on my switch stream.

 

I was able to use this last night with no issues but now, after entering "python3 input_pc.py {Switch IP}"
, nothing shows up in the command prompt. No "0 gamepads", nothing. It just creates a new blank line. What could be causing this?

 

Amazing work! I was able to connect my Wii U gamepad to my switch and it works fine. Despite small bugs, I was able to play Smash without noticeable lag. Thank you. I uploaded a video to show the performance:


I might try it with a new 3ds later

Pd: viva chile hermano!
