Firstly I appreciate the Switch is a portable console, so this is somewhat ridiculous. However I also thought it was pretty interesting, so I’d share what I’m doing and why. Since getting an Nintendo Switch 2 last year I thought it would be good if my original Switch could still be put to good use. That's when i came across Pokemon Automation, essentially you can automate repetitive tasks on the Switch Pokemon games, such as hatching eggs to shiny hunt Pokemon. The automation done by using a HDMI capture card, so your PC can "see" what the Nintendo Switch is doing. The PC can then react by controlling the Switch over USB with an ESP32-S3, this is essentially a micro computer that is emulating a Switch Pro controller. The ESP32-S3 is connected to both the PC and Switch via USB, so the Switch doesn't need to be hacked at all. (With that in mind this also works on the Switch 2.) As you can see from the screenshot below the list of automations possible for each Pokemon game are quite extensive: It's also possible to make the video output full screen and Remote Desktop (RDP) in to the PC controlling the Switch, so you can manually control the Switch yourself over the internet. Obviously, you have the latency from the Switch to the capture card, then the latency of using RDP over the internet to view and control this. So you are never going to be playing competitive Mario Kart for example. However, its certainly responsive enough for me to check on the Switch during lunch break at work and swap the Pokemon in daycare to next Pokemon I wish to shiny hunt if I’ve managed to hatch a shiny. I don't really need RDP access to my Switch, I was more curious as to how well it wold work. (For security I’m using RDP via an SSH tunnel, hence the localhost:2222 in the screenshot.) The capture card i'm using is a UGREEN Video Capture Card HDMI to USB C which costs around £18 on Amazon. The ESP32-S3 costs around £7 on Amazon. Random stuff like this interests me, so hopefully you enjoyed the read.
