can i use my joy-cons directly on the switch or i need to connect them to my pc first when using this playing on parsec? And when my friends connect, i need to be streaming the client or the sysdvr? srry if these are stupid questions. this is my first time doing this
I don't think they're stupid questions. You can use your Joy-cons directly, no need to connect them to your PC first.
As for when your friends are connecting, you stream whichever window has your Switch's video output. I think in your case yeah, it should be sysDVR.
I tried to play with parsec and my friend couldn't connect his controller. What should i do?(we tried on mario kart 8 and kirby and the forgotten land. Neither worked)
There are a couple of things to work out here, but I'll try my best to see what we can rule out:
First, I'm assuming you have the sysmodule (sys-hidplus) and CFW both up and running?
Second, did you connect the client to the Switch without any problems?
Next, are you able to connect controllers on your end to the client (and not directly to the Switch)?
Then, did your friend assign his controller by pressing the right shoulder button after the client's been started? If it's working properly, you should see that the X in one of the controller slots (in the client) changes to an O. edit: Forgot to mention that after this happens, your friend should be able to connect his controller to your Switch just by pressing things or moving his sticks around.
And lastly, if all that doesn't solve anything, if you've got any installed on your PC, does Parsec + your friend's controller work for any non-Switch game?

i have both atmosphere and sys-hidplus running. i think there was probably no error when connecting the client to the switch since there was no error message. I was also able to connect my pro controller to the client but couldn't make it connect to my switch, only my joy-cons were recognized.
I just double-checked my code. The client doesn't report an error if you set the IP address there to something that doesn't exist on your network. It's possible that connecting your controller was fine, but not the client to the Switch.
In short, it might be possible that either you may have typed in the wrong IP for your Switch (or it may have changed if you restarted your router at some point), or there's a problem with your network's setup that's preventing your PC from contacting your Switch. Did you double-check that your Switch's IP and the one you typed into the client are the same?
If they are the same, are your PC and Switch connected to the same network?
So I tried using the Side Joycon mode by editing the config file and changing it to the Left or Right Joycon respectively but now the controls function sideways when using a traditional controller. Is there another setting I'm missing to fix the controls or will that be available officially in a later version?
This is something that's a little interesting. I mostly just copied the way nachuz originally did it (resulting in what you have now), but that's been done with the assumption that sys-hidplus connects controllers as sideway Joy-cons. When I tried it though, the joy-cons always connect as one half of a pair (both vertical), which I think prevents your controller from behaving as it should.
In short, it's intended and there's no existing setting to fix it, but this was implemented with a wrong assumption on my part. Whether this can be fixed for a later version... I'm not sure. Someone had the same problem earlier and I didn't get around to fixing it, mostly because I don't have a game that uses sideway joy-cons and can't test it as a result. I do have one question (and maybe more down the line): despite the analog stick being sideways, do the controls at least work fine in games that force you to use sideway joy-cons?
So I tested "JoyConLSide" and it functions as if a Left Joy Con was attached vertically, which also means none of the face buttons work as intended and instead work as direction inputs as if I had the controller tilted 90 degrees to the right. I'm also not able to set it up in "Change Grip/Order" cause I don't have SL or SR buttons to press.
The same goes for "JoyConRSide" except if the controller was tilted 90 degrees to the left and the buttons do work as intended when facing sideways.
Edit: Also if you need a game to test sideways Joy-Con support with, the Clubhouse Games demo should support it.
Thanks for the info and especially the heads up on the Clubhouse Games demo. I'll see what I can do with it - the next chance I get to look at everything, anyway.
Either way, just wanted to give a quick reply and say your experience lines up with what I found when I was testing this a little less than a year ago. Also wanted to add real quick that Nachuz found that - without going into the technical reasons - emulated controllers are not allowed to use SL and SR, which is kind of a a bust for full sideways Joy-con support. I'm still planning to try to address the rotated controls though (if I can) and see if they work properly in sideways Joy-con games. If it does, I'll probably keep it in future versions for the sake of partial functionality.
Odd. I don't have access to my Switch right now so I can't double-check if the same thing happened, but I could've sworn it worked okay when I updated to 14.1.0 (although not 14.1.1) - that said, don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting you.
Assuming that this isn't the result of user error, then we'll probably have to wait for version 14 support yeah. I'm afraid there's not too much I can do if that's the case. That said, in the meantime, make sure you check that you've done the following:
What's obvious and what you've probably already done, but I'm including just for the sake of ruling them out:
- Updated Atmosphere to the latest version.
- Booted into CFW.
- The client reports that a controller slot is connected when you press the right bumper to assign one (the X changes to an O).
- Make sure you've allowed the client to communicate with other devices on your network. If your network's a private network, allow it to communicate on private networks. If it's public, do the same for public networks. I think you can check/adjust this in Windows Defender/Windows Firewall. I assume that if it worked for you before, then you don't have to change this.
- Make sure your network doesn't have any new settings that'd prevent your computer from communicating with your Switch and vice-versa.
- Make sure the IP of your Switch matches the one you typed into the client - keep in mind, the IP can change if your router's restarted or something along those lines.
Edit: In retrospect, sorry to hit you with a giant wall of text. I just want to rule out as many factors as I can before I get the chance to check for myself.

Well, after finishing up my spring semester, some procrastination, and going into another semester, here's my long overdue response. The sysmodule still works on my end on FW 14.1.1 and AMS 1.3.1. Granted, Atmosphere ain't on the latest version, but it still seems to work.
I'd honestly just double check that your Switch's IP didn't change and that it matches the one you typed into the client.
