About SysDVR

SysDVR is an open-source sysmodule that captures a Nintendo Switch game's output and streams it to a computer over USB or a network connection. Client support covers Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. Video is fixed at 720p and 30 fps with H.264 compression, while audio is fixed as uncompressed 16-bit PCM at 48 kHz stereo. Low latency is possible with an optimal setup, though stream quality depends heavily on the environment, such as USB cables or Wi-Fi signal strength.

The project is intended for game output only and requires firmware 6.0.0 or later. It works with games that have video recording enabled; a separate, manually installed workaround can support most other games but may cause issues. System UI, the home menu, and homebrew applets are not captured, and USB streaming is unavailable when docked. The source states that SysDVR does not fully replace a capture card.
