Discord Rich Presence integration for Nintendo Switch.

SwitchRPC

Discord Rich Presence integration for Nintendo Switch. SwitchRPC is a Rich Presence application for Discord that allows you to set your game, and some details about it. If you have any issues or find any bugs you can get assistance on the support server.

Installation

If you're on windows, head over to the releases tab and grab the latest release. (Open up "Assets" and download the SwitchRPC-Setup.exe file.)

Mac and Linux installers coming soon™.

Manual Installation (Useful for Mac and Linux Installs)

The dollar sign ($) denotes that you're using the command line/a terminal. Don't actually type it. To get to the terminal, open the "Terminal" app or similar (in the Applications/Utilities folder on macOS).

1. Download and install node.js (either version should work fine)
2. Clone this repository:
   $ git clone https://github.com/NintenZone/SwitchRPC.git or download and decompress the source code from the latest release
3. CD into the directory you downloaded
   $ cd ~/Downloads/SwitchRPC for example
4. Install dependencies
   $ npm install
5. Install electron globally, if not already installed
   $ sudo npm install electron -g
   Note: This will prompt for a password. This is your computer login password, and it won't show up while you type. Type it in and press enter. This is necessary to install the "Electron" app that SwitchRPC runs on.
6. Run the app!
   $ electron .

You may find it useful to create a script to run the app in the future. To do so, type the following in your terminal:

$ cat > run.sh
#!/bin/bash
electron "${0%/*}"

Press the key combo Control + D at this point, and your terminal should return to a normal prompt. Run this final command:
$ chmod +x run.sh

Then, if you're on macOS, right click on the new "run.sh" file created, choose "Get Info", and change "Opens With" to Terminal. (You will need to select Other, Terminal is in the Utilities folder, and change from Recommended Applications to All Applications at the bottom of the GUI shown.)

And you should now be able to open "run.sh" like a regular file to open the app. You can drag this script to the second half of your dock on macOS (and rename it to your liking).

switchrpc's Issues

no actual app for the application

Hi, I downloaded SwitchRPC and I really like it, but there's one problem. I don't see the app for the actual application, I just see the app for the setup. Anyway to fix this?

Asset files are missing

Asset icons like the maximize, minimize, close and Top left app icon on the repo

Way to add Custom Boxart?

I think this would be cool, that's all. If I'm doing anything wrong I'm new to GitHub.

Adding Support for Android

I know this might be a bit far fetched, but as Android Game Center currently has the ability to add a mobile game you're playing to your discord status automatically through detection, is there a way this could be implemented to work with updating switch status from Android?

This definitely wouldn't be easy and maybe require some extensions (possibly app?) to be made, but it would be nice to be able to use this awesome feature from the convenience of my Android phone (as I play handheld most of the time, and it isn't super ideal to have to be next to my desktop pc/MacBook every time I want to update the status).

Or alternatively if there is a way for the scripts to be used on Android, that would be super helpful too. Definitely not a need but would be a nice addition for some handheld players.

Appreciate all the hard work that has gone into making this tool, keep up the good work!

Uncaught exception

Happened right after installing and launching:

Feature request: Custom presets

Allow the user to create a custom preset which can be picked from a list so you don't have to manually set the input values every time you start the program making it a bit quicker and easier to use.

not enough games

this seems great but please add much more 3rd party games, like atomycrop, the swindle, tetris 99 and more. adding more, and possibly with the help of the community, all games, would make it great. also, since i didn't have the chance to use it, do you have to enter the game you play every time? if so, cant you do something with pairing m Nintendo account, or making a custom bot a friend on the switch, so it would see what you're playing and use it?

(win10) Unable to install

I'm new to github so I apologize if I did this wrong.
I've been looking for something like this to show what game I'm in on Discord and this seems perfect!
I grabbed the .exe for Beta 2.0 but when I tried to run it, it did nothing. I tried right clicking and clicking on "run as administrator", tried setting compatibility to force "run as administrator" and nothing happens.

Supported Titles list empty.

I can't select a game.

Also having the same issue in #18 and I feel they may be related.

Tried latest release, and latest commit, same result.

Running on Linux.

Allow adding buttons with links

It would be cool if you were hosting an event on your server or running a livestream to allow people to see your stream or join said server with a button in your Rich Presence.

This is not urgent and doest matter to much but this working on Mac would be nice.

I do not know how hard this would be but it would be amazing if this application could work on Mac. I do love the idea of this application but unfortunately I am locked to a Mac computer.

is there a way to know where the "game list" is located?

it would be cool that instead of waiting for an update that adds a game, i can just go to a folder, write a little bit of code and add my own game with my own image

Monster Hunter Rise

Can you add Monster hunter rise, I know its new game so I understand that why It's not yet in this app

Feature request: Automatic game check using friend codes

I was thinking just now about an efficient but most likely improbable feat, which is to make checking the game you are currently playing on the Switch automatic. I feel this feature should be optional and so it should still give the option to type in the game you are playing manually, however I personally believe that it should work by checking a player's friend code if they input it into the program itself. It checks the validity of the friend code before checking the status, if no game is being played then the program won't change the Discord status and vice versa. I'm not sure if that sort of thing would work but there should be something possible, it would just most likely be improbable.

Wont let me submit

Nothing happens when I click the submit button!

It did nothing

It did nothing

How do we get more games added?

For example, indie games that were bought from the eShop, never had a physical release, etc?
