USB Driver

USB Driver setup

To stream via USB you must install the custom SysDVR driver.
This step is only needed if you want to stream via USB, you can skip it if you're only using network modes.

In order to use standard drivers SysDVR now presents itself as an android device, some operating systems may display it as Google Inc. Nexus/Pixel Device (fastboot). Windows should detect it correctly as SysDVR.

If you did this before version 5.5 you must do it again as the USB implementation changed.

If you have the full version of SysDVR before continuing launch the SysDVR Settings homebrew on your console and switch to USB streaming mode.

Avoid using an USB C to USB C cable, those are known to cause issues and suppot varies from device to device, prefer a standard USB A to USB C cable instead.

Driver setup on windows

1. Plug your switch in the computer and launch SysDVR-Client.exe.
2. Select USB driver at the bottom.
3. If this is the first time you are using SysDVR you will be prompted to install the driver, click on Install and follow through the steps. It may take a few minutes just be patient.
4. If everything went correctly unplug the console for a few seconds, the driver is now installed and you can stream via USB.

In case of error you can also try to install the driver manually.

Driver setup on linux

Most distros only allow USB access to root, however running SysDVR as root is not recommended and will cause random issues such as audio not working. Instead you can install a udev rule to allow USB access to the console without root.

1. Install libusb using your package manager, for example on Ubuntu: sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0
2. Install the sysdvr udev rule:
   • As a single command: sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exelix11/SysDVR/master/Client/Platform/Linux/sysdvr.rules -O /etc/udev/rules.d/99-sysdvr.rules && sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
   • Or manually: download the udev rule file from here, move it to /etc/udev/rules.d/ (you may need to create the folder) and run sudo udevadm control --reload-rules to reload the rules
   • Instructions may vary if you have an uncommon distro, Google is your friend.
3. Unplug and replug the console, you should now be able to stream via USB without root.

Driver setup on MacOS nd Android

No special setup is needed on these platforms, just plug the console in and you're ready to go. You may only need to allow the OS permission prompt to let SysDVR Client access the device.
