A Nintendo Switch sysmodule to use up to 3 inputs over the network and useful to use with services such as Parsec for remote play

Disclaimer

Bugs occur and I'm in no way responsible of any damage caused by this sysmodule or its misuse. If you get any issue, please report it on the Issues tab or report it on the gbatemp thread.

Instructions

First, copy the contents of the nswitch folder in the build zip file to the Switch microSD card. Make sure to use Atmosphere because this sysmodule isn't tested with other CFWs.

After that, make sure you have Python3 installed and open cmd on the location of the extracted pc folder from the build zip file and execute py -3 -m pip install inputs (you'll have to do this step only once). Once inputs is installed, you can then connect to your switch by using python3 input_pc.py {SWITCH IP}, replacing {SWITCH IP} with the IP address of your Switch (You can check it by going to Settings > Internet on your system).

You can modify the behaviour of the controller emulation on the python file by changing the conType values. If you set it to 0, you'll be able to disconnect the controller (useful if the Switch disconnects the controller for some reason). If you set it to 1, you'll be able to emulate a Pro Controller. If you set it to 2 or 3, you'll be able to use the experimental sideways joycon emulation, it has some issues but in some games such as Clubhouse Games, it'll be playable.

Stuff to do

• Anarchy mode (3 players using 1 single emulated controller)
• Keyboard Compatibility
• Make the compatibility for sideways joycons emulation better
• Add 4th controller emulation
• Add 5-8th controller emulation
• Add gyro compatibility
• Add USB compatibility
• Add rumble support

Known issues

• Sticks are inverted when using Linux
• Input lag is increased on demanding games such as Super Mario Odyssey

Unsupported games

• All games that require a gyroscope or the SL/SR buttons (For example, 1-2-Switch, Pokémon Let's Go or Super Mario Party)

Support
