Have you ever thought about hooking up another console's controller to your Switch but you don't fancy either carrying around a USB adapter dongle or running an app on another device for hid-mitm? Look no further then, as sys-con is here to save the day!

Sys-con is a custom Switch sysmodule that allows you to use third-party controllers on your Nintendo Switch. Unlike the other previously mentioned homebrew solution, which, as the name suggests, worked by MITMing Horizon OS' built-in hid module, sys-con just needs you to connect your controllers using your Dock's USB ports: no Wi-Fi connection or external applications required. Not only this will result in less input latency (and, of course, a much simpler setup) but it also means the sysmodule won't conflict with Atmosphère 0.9.4's libnx input workaround, making it fully compatible with the CFW's latest version!

There are, however, a few limitations. First off, as hinted before, sys-con only works in Docked mode. The sysmodule is also only compatible with DualShock 3, Xbox 360 (wired, the wireless dongle reportedly doesn't work) and Xbox One controllers, with DualShock 4 support coming soon. Lastly, rumble and motion controls do not work at the moment.

Sys-con has been developed by @cathery and can be downloaded by clicking the download link below. It officially supports Atmosphère and will work on FW 5.0.0 and up (warning: crashes or freezes may happen on 9.0.X due to high memory usage). You can install it by extracting the release's contents on your microSD card, overwriting if necessary, and then rebooting your console. For more information on upcoming features, troubleshooting and developer support, head over to the project's GitHub repo (also linked below).

I was experiencing the freezing when entering album while playing mario odyssey. But It was tesla menu that was causing it. Maybe a ram problem?

Can someone more familiar with sys-con button remapping with the config files help me out?
I'm trying to remap a couple of buttons on Gamecube controller using the official controller adapter.
The GC controller doesn't have it's own config file in sdmc:/config/sys-con/ so I assume I need to use the config_global.ini to remap the buttons.

This is my current config_global.ini file:

[global]
KEY_LEFT_TRIGGER = LEFT_BUMPER
KEY_BACK = START

But it doesn't seem to have any effect on the button mappings.

 

[Purple_Heart]

it still crashes on ams when i enter HB menu

Ah, don't mind me, the sysmodule wasn't enabled when I was trying it out...

So, did it work?

Did you manage to fix this?

I copied the latest version of sys-con onto atmosphere 0.12.0/FW 9.1 and got the exact same error while booting up after the splash screens. Could not boot even after deleting the sys-con folders & files. Only booted when I copied a fresh atmosphere version on.

Sounds like there is a mismatch between sys-con & atmosphere 0.12?

 

[bytar]

does logitech f310 or f510 with this? which fw and atmosphere versions should the switch be on to be able to work with it?

 

[GamingAori]

Is there any way to remap controls on switch? Like you can do with original pro controller? Or any easy way of doing it on PC?

Edit. found the answer

 

[kenken0215]

Let me ask you a question.

I want to use dualshock4 wirelessly with sys-con.
Is it possible?

Now it's working on a USB connection.

---------
I connected the wireless adapter (CUH-ZWA1J) to the switch and it is now wirelessly available!
I just can't boot from sleep anymore, what should I do?

thank you

 

[Giosandoval]

Thank you, works great dock and undocked, I'm using a ps3 and ps4 controller.

[Geridious4]

[haines]

Looking to use my DualShock 3/4 on my switch lite, is sys-con compatible with SXOS?
