• #1

This repository is the Nintendo Switch foundation for OpenNOW. It is forked from Blade-Punisher/SwitchNOW, a native Nintendo Switch homebrew client for GeForce NOW.

Main features​

• Browse the GeForce NOW catalog and the games linked to the current account.
• Cover-art cache, incremental catalog paging, search, filters and sorting.
• Per-game store selection for titles available through multiple storefronts.
• Persistent multi-account sign-in, token refresh and optional encrypted local password storage for quick sign-in and automatic account recovery.
• Animated queue, setup and connection stages while a cloud rig is prepared.
• Tegra X1 NVDEC hardware decoding with automatic software-decoder fallback.
• Bounded low-latency decode queues, damaged-frame suppression, RTCP recovery and keyframe resynchronization after packet loss.
• Synchronized Opus audio with configurable buffering and volume amplification.
• Xbox-compatible virtual gamepad, optional Switch-labelled face-button layout, touch-to-mouse input and an in-stream Nintendo keyboard.
• Adaptive stream-quality modes for motion resilience, clarity or untouched server output.
• Free-tier session warnings and automatic return to the game page after a session ends or the connection is lost.
• Opt-in flight-recorder diagnostics. Detailed logs and overlays are disabled by default during normal gameplay.
• Dedicated Neverness to Everness credential helper and guided in-game login.

Talk about inception

If you talk about Android path on Switch, then yeah... But this app simplifies your "inception route". I'm very interested how this will develop.

Xbox Xcloud client(Xbox app) could be port too?

Yeah, I just said it as a joke since:
1) The original tablet is Nvidia Tegra (Nvidia Shield)
2) Then it was updated to the switch version (Tegra x1+)
3) Then the OS for the Switch it's actually Android arm64 (custom but still android nonetheless)
4) The modchip/CFW emulates the Switch OS (and that's why it's called EmuMMC)
5) Geforce Now emulates a pc via cloud-gaming (and the switch modded emulates the switch OS which at the same time, with this new app, it also emulates a pc)

The Switch's native OS (Horizon) is in no way Android or based on it
