SysDVR
This is a sysmodule that allows capturing the running game output to a pc via USB or network connection.
Features
- Cross platform, can stream to Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.
- Stream via USB or Wifi.
- Video quality is fixed to 720p @ 30fps with h264 compression, this is a hardware limit.
- Audio quality is fixed to 16bit PCM @ 48kHz stereo. Not compressed.
- Very low latency with an optimal setup, most games are playable !
Limitations
- Only works on games that have video recording enabled (aka you can long-press the capture button to save a video)
- There is now a workaround to support most games, as it may cause issues it's hosted on a different repo and must be installed manually.
- Only captures game output. System UI, home menu and homebrews running as applet won't be captured.
- Stream quality depends heavily on the environment, bad usb wires or low wifi signal can affect it significantly.
- USB streaming is not available when docked
- Requires at least firmware 6.0.0
Clearly with these limitations this sysmodule doesn't fully replace a capture card.
