SwitchPresence

A Nintendo Switch custom sysmodule for Discord Rich Presence.

Usage

• Copy switch-rich-presence.kip to your sd card and edit the hekate_ipl.ini to include the sysmodule.
  (You can for example add a configuration like this.)

[Discord Rich Presence]
kip1=switch-rich-presence.kip

• Boot your switch into RCM mode and run hekate on it.
• Launch your hekate configuration with rich presence and wait until your switch turns on completely. (Also make sure that your switch is connected to internet.)
• Open the client (SwitchRichPresence.exe) and click the "Connect" button.
• Done!

Setup a Rich presence app

Note : I already made a default application with some games on it but if you don't do this, most of your icons won't show on discord.

• Go to this link.
• Create a new App and give it the name that will be shown on your profile (usually "Nintendo Switch").
• Enable Rich Presence for you app.
• Launch the sysmodule and connect the client to the switch (see Usage).
• Once connected, click on Utils->Export icons and choose the path where your icons will be exported with the right name/icon size.
• Go to your rich presence app and add all the icons that you just exported with the name they were given and choose the the type "Large".
  
  
• (optional) add a "Small" asset named "icon". This will used as the small image on your profile. (You can use this one.)
• Open the config.txt file at the root of the client (If this file doesn't exit, running the client once closing it will create a new one.) and edit the client_id line with the client ID of the rich presence app you just created.

Known issues

• The switch might hang on when getting into sleep mode or when turning it off. If that happens, hard shutdown your switch by pressing the POWER button for ~15 seconds.
