SwitchNOW: Native GeForce NOW client for Nintendo Switch

[Blade-Punisher]

Hi!
Over the past few months, I’ve been working on SwitchNOW, a native GeForce NOW homebrew client for Nintendo Switch, inspired by OpenNOW.
The project began as a way to access GeForce NOW on the Switch, but gradually developed into a much larger implementation.
Since OpenNOW is built around Electron, Chromium, and WebRTC, SwitchNOW is not a direct code port. It is a native C++/libnx application with a Borealis-based interface and a separate Switch-specific implementation of authentication, session management, streaming, audio, and controller input.
Current features include:

• Native controller-first Nintendo Switch interface
• GeForce NOW authentication and session renewal
• Game catalog and library with cover artwork
• Multiple account support
• Session creation and queue status
• Controller and touchscreen input
• H.264 video streaming with Tegra X1 hardware decoding
• Synchronized audio playback
• Stream quality and interface settings
• Testing on real Nintendo Switch hardware

The project is still under active development. Stability, compatibility, performance, and documentation will continue to improve, but it has now reached a stage where I’d like to share it and hear your feedback.

OpenNOW has been an important reference and source of inspiration throughout the project. I wanted to share SwitchNOW with you directly and ensure that the original project and its contributors are properly credited.
I’d be glad to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or ideas for possible collaboration.
Thank you for creating OpenNOW!

Sure! Here's a video of Fortnite running in a real GeForce NOW session on actual Nintendo Switch hardware: https://youtu.be/5WFqtrdCwos
