SysDVR Platforms & Compatibility
One sysmodule on the console, one client on the receiving device. Here is what genuinely runs SysDVR, what only works with a workaround, and what does not work at all — no maybes dressed up as yeses.

| Device | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows PC (client) | Yes | Native x64 client. You may need the latest Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables — the standard build does not need a separate .NET install. |
| macOS — Apple Silicon | Yes | Native arm64 build. The app is unsigned, so macOS may ask you to allow it on first launch. |
| macOS — Intel | Yes | Native x64 build, same unsigned-app note as Apple Silicon. |
| Linux (client) | Yes | x64 Flatpak build. ARM boards such as Raspberry Pi work only through the manual dotnet install. |
| Android phone / tablet (client) | Yes | Official APK, GitHub only. Android 10+ on 64-bit devices; 32-bit support was added in v6.2. |
| Android TV / TV boxes | Limited | Many boxes are older or 32-bit and may refuse to install; weak hardware may also decode too slowly for smooth play. |
| iPhone / iPad (iOS) | No client | There is no iOS app. Workaround: Simple Network (RTSP) mode into an RTSP-capable player app. |
| Nintendo Switch / V2 / OLED / Lite (console side) | Yes, with CFW | The sysmodule runs on Switch 1 models that are running Atmosphère custom firmware. No CFW, no SysDVR. |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | No | SysDVR requires custom firmware on a Switch 1. There is no Switch 2 version. |
The stream itself is identical everywhere: 720p at 30fps (H.264) with uncompressed 16-bit PCM 48kHz stereo audio — a hardware limit of the console’s video recording service. No platform, client or setting raises it to 1080p or 60fps.

No. Where the 720p30 ceiling comes from, and when a capture card is the real answer.

SysDVR.net is an unofficial guide site. SysDVR itself is free, open-source software (GPL-2.0) by exelix11, and it requires a Nintendo Switch running Atmosphère custom firmware.
