Hey guys

Lil tutorial for you here

 

Hardware requirements

1x Nintendo Switch and included Switch Dock

1x Windows 10 PC with modern GPU capable of running Parsec

1x Elgato HD 60 Pro (lowest latency capture card available)

Software Requirements

Parsec

Windows 8.1 or better

Elgato Game Capture HD

Titan One GTuner Software

MaxAim DI Plug in for GTuner

 

Pair Brook Adapter to Nintendo Switch

Required before starting remote play setup

 

1.       Connect Brook adapter to Nintendo Switch (Powered on)

2.       Connect Xbox One controller to Brook Adapter via USB Cable

3.       Follow below steps to complete pairing to Switch

 

 

How to Setup Remote play

1.       Plug Nintendo Switch into Dock

2.       Plug Switch HDMI Cable into IN port of Elgato Capture card

3.       Plug HDMI headless dongle into OUT port of Elgato Capture Card

 

4.       Plug mini B USB cable into Titan One, and the standard USB end into PC

5.       Plug Titan Adapter into female USB port of Brook Adapter

6.       Plug Brook Adapter into Nintendo Switch Dock USB Port

7.       Signup and Install Parsec to your PC and friends machine (host user add client user as a friend on Parsec.tv) – insure host user installs controller software bundled with Parsec.

 

8.       Client user connect to host using Parsec (or host user can optionally connect their own Xbox controller to host system)

9.       Client user (with controller connected) press button on Xbox controller

10.       Verify host can see Xbox controller now added to device manager

 

11.       Download and Install GTuner Pro for Titan One

12.       Open options in GTuner, and navigate to the Device Tab, ensure it is manually set to show up as an Xbox One controller.

 

 

 

13.       Install MaxAim DI Plugin

14.       Open MaxAim DI Plugin

15.       Select Direct Input Settings

 

16.       Select Direct Input controller

 

17.       Ask client user to press buttons on controller to verify that input is received via Parsec.

18.       Map appropriate controls to your onscreen controller (you may need to select Xbox Layout in Layout Options).  The Xbox button doesn’t seem to work in my setup (which would act as the Switch Home button) so I mapped a combo of Start + Select as the Xbox Guide button by right clicking on the Guide Button and selecting more.

 

19.       Save your layout as I find that it often forgets the settings the next time you open the application

20.       Enable Direct Input in Direct Input method if not already enabled

 

21.        Install Elgato Capture HD – Keep it in live mode to ensure it stays real time.

At this point, the client user should be able to fully control the Nintendo Switch including access the home menu, just like a local player should.

The host user will be able to use the Joy Cons locally attach the switch in addition to the remote client user for multiplayer gaming. 

 

Enjoy!

Please update Point 12 to output protocol Nintendo Switch. I had my roughest 40minutes to figure out how to get it working, just because it is done wrong here. It really makes sense, if you think about it, because of course it has to be an output of a switch controller, if you want to play on the switch.
