NS-RPC

The definitive way to display your Nintendo Switch games in Discord. 🎮

Introduction

NS-RPC (Nintendo Switch Rich Presence) is a Wails app for Windows and macOS. It makes it easy for anyone to share what they are playing on the Switch to Discord in a fancy Rich Presence, like a PC game.

This app was built using Wails (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 pride) and SolidJS.

With NS-RPC you can..

• Display that you are using your Switch across all of Discord.
• Select from an extensive list of games to show off.
• Set a custom status message to let everyone know exactly what you're doing.
• Pin your favourite games into a quick list.
• Experience my questionable user interface.

Prerequisites

All you need to get going is some common sense and the Discord App installed to the same machine.

Users running Windows 10 or earlier may encounter issues running NS-RPC due to Wails' use of Microsoft WebView2 on Windows. If you do encounter problems, ensure this is installed.

Installing

If you're looking for convenience, you'll find already built copies of NS-RPC for both Windows and macOS here.

Rewrite

Long time users may realise this is a brand new app! NS-RPC's original codebase was not something I wanted to maintain. It was the first project I wrote in JavaScript and I utilised Electron for this.

The new version uses Wails rather than Electron which I much prefer working in. The frontend uses SolidJS. I much prefer using this to React for its sheer speed and removal of jank, while still using JSX.

Anything else?

Not as of yet. If you have feature suggestions or need support, head over to this handy Discord server and talk to us.

Have a good one!
