LibNXbox vs PeaSyo

LibNXbox is free GPL-2.0 homebrew software that streams from an Xbox console or Xbox Cloud Gaming to a Nintendo Switch. Download the libnxbox.nro file from GitHub releases and run it in title mode; applet mode crashes. For home streaming, the NRO discovers the console in the same manner as xbox.com/play. The README describes launching cloud titles through a Moonlight Switch NRO forwarder using a game AppID. LibNXboxNROHelper can search the Microsoft Store and create game-art thumbnails plus a titles.txt file containing titles and xCloud AppIDs. Video is listed as 1280×720 H.264 using Tegra X1 NVDEC decoding, with stereo Opus audio at 48 kHz and an approximately 60 ms latency target. Authentication uses Microsoft’s servers and saves a token on the SD card. Queue times and service restrictions are not bypassed.

PeaSyo, also known as Pixiu, streams PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games to other devices. It supports local and remote streaming, including remote play via PSN, with listed video support up to 1080p and HDR. Users can register multiple consoles, wake them remotely, or put them on standby. Features include button mapping, gamepad vibration, and streaming performance monitoring. The project lists mobile clients for Android and iOS, desktop clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux, including SteamOS, and also lists HarmonyOS. Its compatibility statement limits it to PS4 systems running firmware 8.0 or higher. DualSense 5 adaptive triggers and native haptic feedback require overriding Android’s native gamepad support and using a wired OTG connection. Android kernel driver limitations mean some devices do not support controller vibration. PeaSyo says it is permanently free and is not affiliated with Sony or PlayStation. The original repository follows the AGPL v3 license and makes open-source versions available through v1.8.3; it says version 2 is no longer open source.
