Does anyone now how to play TF2 on a switch lite?
So if you’re able to hack a Switch Lite you should be able to install Moonlight https://github.com/XITRIX/Moonlight-Switch and be able to play TF2. This would require you to have a PC that can run TF2.

NVidia: GameStream End of Service Notification [~mid-February]
Hm, this limitation is well documented. Are you sure you're not running at 8mbps? Even then, I still get quite a bit of frame delay.
- What ways are there for using Switch as Wii U Gamepad?
-
Modded Switch OLED
Yes, with Moonlight Switch. I think for AMD GPUs there is an alternative but as far as I'm aware this is the best performing one.

Can you stream not FROM your switch , but TO your switch console?
That's the basics behind Moonlight, yes. You'll need that Switch client as well as the base setup for Moonlight.

Emulating Switch on Switch
Yup! If you have a NVidia GPU that’s GameStream capable you can use Moonlight to stream games from your PC.

- Nx moonlight or moonlight? Confused.

The Steamdeck mayyy be stretching the definition of “portable gaming” (Switch OLED compared)
These seem to be the best two from my research: https://github.com/rock88/moonlight-nx (less latency, can wake from sleep, requires Nvidia card) and https://github.com/Moehammered/switch-remote-play (more user friendly).

I was cleaning and found this ancient relic under my TV stand.
If it's an old switch (before June 2018 iirc, or you can check your serial here) you can also run Android on it and run the steam link app on there. Or you can use Nvidia GameStream with Moonlight-NX on any switch, although newer ones require a modchip

I got Splitgate on my Switch through Moonlight NX
Moonlight is an Nvidia Gamestream implementation that allows you to stream games from your computer to other devices. Moonlight-nx allows you to do so on a hacked switch.
