Warning: Obsolete sysmodule, use sys-hidplus instead: https://gbatemp.net/threads/sys-hidplus-a-brand-new-sysmodule-that-allows-you-to-emulate-gamepads-over-the-network-for-parsec.576327/

hid-mitm-plus: a hid-mitm fork to allow the Nintendo Switch to be playable through Parsec or Steam Remote Play

hid-mitm-plus is a hid-mitm (by jakibaki) fork that allows for up to 4 controllers (and in the future 8) to be used on a Nintendo Switch from a PC using the network. The purpose for this is to allow the Nintendo Switch to be playable through services such as Parsec (tested and working!) or Steam Remote Play Together (if you somehow manage to and I would love to hear an explanation)
Currently, this sysmodule is still a WIP with a pre-release available as a lot of optimizations and testing must be made.
More details are available on the github repository and any kind of feedback is welcomed!

​

Requirements:

• Atmosphere (ReiNX and SX OS are untested) Edit: There's currently a bug where this sysmodule crashes on SX OS and in some Kosmos setups, this is currently being investigated, ReiNX remains untested and AMS remains working
• hid-mitm-plus pre-release (https://github.com/PaskaPinishkes/hid-mitm-plus/releases/tag/PLUS-0.2-ALPHA)
• Python 3
• 9.0.0+ FW Version
• If you want to use a streaming service such as Parsec, you'll need either:
• a) A capture card such as Elgato HD60 S or Pro; or
• b) SysDVR (https://gbatemp.net/threads/sysdvr-stream-gameplay-directly-to-a-pc.550616/)

Instructions:

1. Extract the pre-release zip file and copy the atmosphere folder to your microSD card
2. Insert the microSD card to your Nintendo Switch and turn it on
3. Go to Settings > Internet and write down somewhere the IP Address, you'll need it
4. Open Command Prompt and go to the folder where you extracted the hid-mitm-plus pre-release
5. Execute "py -3 -m pip install inputs"
6. Execute "python3 input_pc.py [IP ADDRESS]", replacing [IP ADDRESS] with the IP that appears on the Switch Internet Settings
7. If you have a controller connected, now the switch should detect it!

dammit

I mean it might assuming your capture card is PCIe. There's no harm trying. Worst case, you'll be playing turn based games

Any one how to get more then 1 controller to be recognized? I had 2 controllers connected 1 from my PC and one from Parsec and the switch will detect them as 1 pro controller and accept input from both of them.

that's really weird
make sure both controllers are Xinput (I haven't tested PS4 and generic controllers | if you want to use a pro controller use BetterJoyForCemu)
if you are using 2 Xinputs, please send me a screenshot of your python console
also, make sure you first connect the controllers and then open input_pc.py, as that is a problem I have yet to fix

@nachuz It's possible to try it out on Steam remote play.

- Download the free game in Steam: War Smith
- Delete all contents inside of War Smith directory
- Copy all hid-mitm-plus contents into the War Smith directory.
- rename your executable file that you copied to the War Smith directory to LocalMultiplayer.exe
- Start the 'War Smith' game using Steam.
- Invite people using Shift+Tab
- ???
- Profit

Put the content of the archiv on my SD card
start Atmosphere
atmosphere : crash

Now if only I could use my HD60 Pro on Linux. .-.

You should also disable automatic updates, just in case.

you can use this on windows too .. ( i would test it but the tool give me an error on Atmosphere)
but ! you can run Python on CMD (install Python )

Pythton is even more painful in Windows.

 

[gudenau]

I just copied `py.exe` into `War Smith` as `LocalMultiplayer.exe` and set the launch params to use `input_pc.py`.

I also made the owner of the executable SYSTEM and made it there are no perms other than USER is allowed to read end execute and SYSTEM has full control. So Steam should not be able to touch it, ever.

Now to wait for my Switch to charge since Hekate says it's at 0.0%.

Just makes my switch stick on the boot logo, removing the module makes it boot again and the GitHub issues are disabled.

How nice.

Sorry, when most people disable issues it's because they are being jerks. Sorry for being so passive aggressive about that.

9.x and Latest Atmosphere

Why aren't you using hiddbg? hid-mitm is a huge hack that's unnecessary since 6.0.0, and will likely be broken by firmware updates.

oh, I didn't stated that on the post, but this fork of hid-mitm uses hiddbg

2168-0002 error on SX OS

 

[gudenau]

If I could figure out how to get this to build I see some places where it could be optimized some.

 

[Chrisssj2]

I have atmosphere-0.12.0-master-7bc0250c+hbl-2.3.1+hbmenu-3.3.0 + https://gbatemp.net/threads/atmosphere-patches-es-fs-and-loader-fusee_primary-only.562812/

And I am getting a Nintendo switch logo freeze. when i have ONLY this plugin hid-mitm-plus added in my folder without others... Shame..

Older one. RCM vulnerable. Bought in mid 2018 I think.
Serial starting with XAJ4004
