SkyNX

SkyNX is a lightweight utility that enables you to stream PC games to Nintendo Switch in your local network without Android.

It is important to note that you need to pop out the Nintendo MicroSD card and connect it to your computer for this tool to work properly. In addition to the Windows app, you need to make sure that you copy the Nintendo app onto the root of the MicroSD card. Rest assured, that the app does not overwrite anything, but rather it places the files you need for the program to work in the location where both operating systems can read it.

Once you are done with transferring the corresponding app, you can dismount the MicroSD and place it back into the Nintendo Switch. While not mandatory, you can consider installing the app to Nintendo if you want to have a quick access link to it on your home screen. Then again, if you prefer not to install anything, you can find and launch it from the Homebrew main menu. Once the app is launched, you should be able to view the IP address and you can type into the Windows app to create the connection.

The interface is a more of a settings window where you can type in your IP address, set the streaming quality, swap A-B and X-Y buttons – depending on the game you are playing – and toggle audio and video. In case you are having problems with audio or video, you should check out the settings and make sure that all drivers are installed.

You should bear in mind that in the end the quality of the stream ultimately depends on the speed on your Internet, but the range is between 4 and 20 Mbps. If you have a decent connection, you may want to set it up to a middle level, otherwise lower or increase it as necessary.

It is recommended that before the actual streaming you set the resolution of your screen to 1280 x 720, which is basically the same resolution as Nintendo Switch and hence, make sure you are not going to have too many troubles with the latency. Lastly, to get started with SkyNX, simply start up a game on your computer, which will start it Switch itself
