    so yeah..
    i'm back at it again and did another thing that should not be done

    it is as bad as it looks yes :p

    analog sticks are only on or off and there is no precise gas control.

    but the nvidia chips inside handles it ""decent enough"'

    The Switch can be hacked to run Android, which allows you to install GeForce Now, with which you can stream games on it.
    That's probably what is happening there.

    I think only the earliest Switch models are able to be hacked at the moment.

    From what Nadeox said, the system probably isn't running Windows on it, it's just streaming from his computer via the Geforce Now app, which is running on a version of Android on the Switch.

    Geforce now streams from nvidia servers, your thinking of steam link, even then steam link runs in fullscreen mode only.

    Though, it is certainly possible to install Windows on a Switch, as some people have done it before.

    actually beamng does not run on geforce now.
    well it does.
    but the GUI is buggy.
    because geforce now permits the usage of other apps when selecting a game the GUI exe of beamng sometimes crashes and i'd have to force reload the UI every 5 to 10 mins

    i would show this in action when on the street somewhere but ehh... the corona lock down has made our entire country unsure of being outside including me

    I used to do this way back in the day with RoR on my PSP (yes you read that correctly)

    Essentially it's exactly as described... you set up your computer to stream to the device with some sort of streaming service (well known or lesser known) and then set up the device to essentially act as your PC's controller... job done. You can run just about any game on any system by taking this approach, but it is kinda pointless as you still need the main system to run the game... plus, 9 times out of 10, you need to be within the same network for the thing to even be playable.

    So really this is more of an "I did it because I could and you can't stop me", kind of thing.

    That's a possibility, or you could run it over with this Exorcist.jpg
