SysDVR Version History

What changed in every 6.x release, in plain language. The current release is v6.3 (February 10, 2026) — console sysmodule and client must always be updated together, to the same version.

SysDVR v6.3

February 10, 2026 — current release

• Fixes a service initialization issue that made the system settings crash when SysDVR ran alongside ldn_mitm.
• Recorded video clips now use the AAC audio codec, so clips play directly on Windows without conversion steps.
• The –file command-line option for recording clips is back.
• The client remembers the last IP address used for a manual network connection.

SysDVR v6.2.2

November 17, 2025

• Sysmodule and Settings app rebuilt with the latest libnx for console firmware 21.0 support.
• Memory guidance: the full build uses slightly less than 1 MB of RAM; the USB-Only build about 500 KB — relevant on firmware 20.0+, which reduced sysmodule memory.
• A round of minor fixes for user-reported issues.

SysDVR v6.2.1

May 17, 2025

• SysDVR can now be started and stopped without rebooting the console, from the Settings app or third-party sysmodule managers via toolbox.json.
• Designed to reduce the impact of the tighter sysmodule memory limits introduced in firmware 20.0.

SysDVR v6.2

February 26, 2025

• Android client gains 32-bit (armeabi-v7a) support, reaching many more devices — though weak hardware can still perform poorly.
• New option to disable controller input when playing through a PC.
• Client translations added: Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

SysDVR v6.1.1

May 11, 2024

• A visual-only update, 100% compatible with v6.1 — no feature changes.
• Added a French client translation and fixed internationalization glitches.

SysDVR v6.1

May 5, 2024

• Client localization arrives: English, German, Polish, Italian and Simplified Chinese at launch.
• Android minimum lowered to Android 8 — still 64-bit devices only.
• The console screen can be turned off while streaming; client UI can be navigated with a gamepad; in-app volume control added.

SysDVR v6.0

The big rewrite

• Completely rewritten native cross-platform GUI client — standard builds just run, with no .NET install to manage.
• First Android client (Android 10+, 64-bit) and local network discovery: the client finds consoles automatically, no more typing IP addresses.
• Screenshots and video-clip recording built into the GUI; the streaming protocol is fully documented for third-party clients.
• Some command-line features were dropped in the rewrite (–stdout/–mpv relay, client –rtsp relay, –file — the last one returned in v6.3). From this release, the Android client is distributed only via GitHub.
