NS-RPC

The definitive way to display your Nintendo Switch games in Discord. 🎮

Introduction

NS-RPC (Nintendo Switch Rich Presence) is an Electron app for Windows and macOS that allows every day Switch users to display the game they're currently playing in their Discord status through a Rich Presence.

As a developer, this was my first time ever using JavaScript for more than 5 minutes. If I've made any obvious mistakes, please raise an issue or make a pr.

With NS-RPC you can..

Display that you are using your Switch across all of Discord.
Select from an extensive list of games to show off.
Set a custom status message to let everyone know exactly what you're doing.
Experience my questionable user interface.

Prerequisites

All you need to get going is some common sense and the Discord App installed to the same machine.

Installing

If you're looking for convenience, you'll find already built copies of NS-RPC for both Windows and macOS here.

From source

Running from the source for whatever reason is also possible. Simply install Node.js and follow the instructions below.

Once installed, git clone or download and extract the source to a folder you're comfortable working in. Open a terminal or command prompt and locate to the current directory using cd path/to/directory.

You'll next need to install the required dependencies. This is simple and can be done by simply typing into your terminal npm . which will grab all the needed information from the package.json file.

Finally, to execute the application you simply need to enter into terminal npm start.

Anything else?

Have a good one!
