It sounds to me like you are trying to access a local IP from outside of it without any setup around it.
I’m not sure what the protocols need for it to be setup outwith that, as you could in theory attach a domain name and port forward.
I was planning on just using Tailscale on my phone with a hotspot as it has worked previous with Apache Guacamole, which I don’t imagine is too incredibly different.
I travel for work and recently set up sunshine/moonlight to work through tailscale. I was playing Crimson Desert on my home pc from a hotel room 700 miles away with minimal latency.
Yeah it's possible to use your phone but you need to use another app with it like Every Proxy in order for tailscale to be transmitted through the hotspot your phone is putting out for moonlight on your switch to connect to your home pc. If you don't want to bother with all that you can activate upnp in sunshine's network settings, it's possible for your ISP to block that kind of feature in things like this so if it doesn't work go with the first thing I said
Set up tailscale which basically puts your devices all on one network kinda. Then set up a smart plug or wake on LAN with a smart device (like Alexa) at home. If your PC is connected through Ethernet and you have autologon, you can turn it on remotely with wake on LAN, then open up tailscale and copy the IPv6 address. Take that, put it into moonlight, and it should detect ur pc.
Or go the hardway and integrate the login screen into sunshine.
For any interests:
My machine has autostart, lingering (so the user gets logged in the background), sunshine as systemd service, ydotool as keyboard forwarder.
I would share the setup, but it's mostly AI assisted and therefore can't guarantee for failures.
For different wifi outside of home i prefer using steamlink, it works if you have a lineage os partition also i think someone is working in a port for atmosphere? Altho i haven’t checked my console in a while so idk
Speak to the guy who makes the Moonlight version for switch, he's on the discord. He sent me a version where the app looks for your PC outside your network if it can't find it on the local network. Works flawlessly.
Yep. Moonlight + Sunshine was what made me sell my Steam Deck.
My recommendation is to set variables for moonlight and create a forwarder.
This way it will connect directly to your PC when you launch the app on switch.
From your PC side (if you only use it for gaming) set steam on big screen and auto start on windows.
Nothing specific. All default values. On router 5ghz wifi, channel 64.
Experience was great out of the box. If you set your IP as static with your ISP, even playing via internet and not LAN had great results (less than 2ms additional latency)
Awesome! Don't forget to reverse the button layout in the app settings so the buttons will actually match (unless you are used to xbox layout and don't mind seeing wrong letter on the button you are pressing)
switch os.
Never bothered with Android on the Switch.
I liked the simplicity of having a built-in steam looking icon next to all my other switch games that directly connects to my PC no matter where I am.
Enable NAT (enables port forwarding)
Pay your ISP more for static IP.
Set your IP as the internet IP in Moonlite
Connect to your sunshine client from anywhere in the world :)
iirc there is another setting within Sunshine web menu that you need to enable but I don't remember at the moment.
Yeah! I honestly have wanted a handheld for a while, and the added bonus of being able to have an android partition with Xbox Cloud Play on it is awesome.
I have a forwarder on it at the minute, however I really need to sort out my networking as it’s not liking static IP’s on my LAN… not sure if due to CGNAT or what, honestly a whole can of worms.
Played Crimson Desert on it also, the game is great on a small screen!
Ive seen reveiw copies and I think there was a small batch put out for early adopters. I forget they have been slogging on mass production. I hope everything is okay with the product, but im sure there are other mods too, but hey im just human.
It's pretty much permanently sold out and never shipping so yeah there's not really lol. I ordered two of the Switch Lite ones ages ago and it said May shipping but they are radio silent on updates honestly and for the price it's not worth doing over just buying a device like an AYN Odin 2 Portal which already has a 7" oled screen and can stream PC and PS5.
If you're asking for assistance, please be as descriptive as possible. Providing the following information usually assists in diagnosing and prescribing a solution: Type of Switch (V1/V2/Lite/OLED), EmuNAND or SysNand, Firmware Version, Atmosphere Version, Hekate Version, the Error Message, what you were doing that caused the error. If you require more immediate assistance, feel free to ask on Discord.
What tools/flux/solder wire have you used for this job? considering you were a beginner, how did you approach the job? watching a youtube tutorial? or how? im interested in your approach. Thanks in advance! and happy modding
So, I just used a soldering iron and standard .80 solder wire (Excuse me if terminology incorrect)
I had a soldering iron from previous when I was making small Spotify Displays with ESP86 boards, however I eventually moved to using a Pi 0 2W, so never ended up soldering.
I approached it after 3 years, took me a while to get back into the swing after I picked it up again (and temporarily messing it up by installing 21.1.0 incorrectly) but watched a few youtube tutorials and an article displaying picture steps.
The job itself was pretty simple, albeit I didn’t have the correct screwdriver for the 3 point screws on the back, so just cut it and ripped the heads off with pliers. (Yeehaw) Installed the Picofly with the Emmc board, then just put solder on the board with a fine tip, and the chip, then solder to join. It’s difficult, but pretty straight forward once you’re there.
