Welcome to the SysDVR wiki, here you can find the new SysDVR guide.

Note that this guide is only for SysDVR verion 5.3.1, for previous versions refer to the previous versions of the guide

Before starting here's a few info to keep in mind:

• To use SysDVR your console must be hacked, as in be running a CFW
• Users reported that SysDVR doesn't seem to cause bans, either way I recommend not connecting to the internet at all while running a CFW
• Only games that support video recording (long press of the capture button) are compatible with SysDVR
  • There is an experimental patch to enable support for all games, use it at your own risk
• To stream homebrew you must launch a game that supports video recording with title takeover, aka keeping R pressed while launching the game will actually launch the homebrew launcher
• Stream quality depends heavily on the environment, you need a good usb wire or a stable connection
  • Stable connection means good WiFi signal strength on both pc and switch, NOT your internet speed

The first step is to set up SysDVR on your console.

Now you have to choose a streaming mode, currently there are three available:

• TCP Bridge (recommended): Stream with max possible quality via network.
  • Setup SysDVR-Client on your pc (Only the first time)
  • Then follow the TCP Bridge guide
• USB: Stream with max possible quality via USB, doesn't work when docked.
  • Setup SysDVR-Client on your pc (Only the first time)
  • Install the custom USB driver (Only the first time)
  • Then follow the USB streaming guide
• Simple network mode: Stream with ok quality via network directly to a video player. This mode doesn't require the client app so you can stream to your phone or smart tv but it may have high latency or not look as good as the others.
  • Follow the simple network mode guide

In case of issues read the troubleshooting page
