Just plug the ShadowCast to any HDMI Source and display it on your laptop.
This is what it looks like compared to the Nintendo Switch HDMI cable.
We designed it to basically hide inside of the Nintendo Switch Dock. And it also works with the Genki Covert Dock on the go.
Thanks to this device I have started my own streaming content 😄 can’t wait till the covert dock is back in stock and I can purchase that as well, the products are amazing in quality and price
As a capture card, the shadowcast works fine but there are some problems with it that just bother me so much.
First, there is the settings for the resolution. To access them you have to input the Konami code. The easter egg is neat the first few times, but it gets really annoying when you have to do it every single time you open the genki arcade app. It would be great if it was just already in the settings from the start, or just make it toggleable.
The same applies to putting the app in fullscreen, there is no where in the settings that tells you how to put it in fullscreen. I had to look it up online. I wouldn't have guessed that you had to double click the screen to make it fullscreen.
These two problems could be easily fixed in a software update for the app.
I have to say, this has been a bit of a game changer. I got a PS5 and now I can play in bed after the kids go to bed. My wife got one for her switch to stream with friends. It works great and there is only a very minor delay (only noticeable when playing games that involve staying on beat.) Than you for making a great product that works as intended.
I am always having issues with connecting my Elgato HD60 S and getting my games to come through my computer so I can stream. A new game just came out today that I wanted to stream. Hooked my Elgato HD60 S up and nothing... it didn't work once again. I did some troubleshooting and its still not working. I remembered that I had the shadowcast and never tried it. i opened it up plugged it in, downloaded the app and it worked right away no issues at all. Highly recommend and its a fraction of the price!
Great product. Incredibly simple to use, quick and easy download of the genki arcade app, then just plug it in and you're good to go! No discernible delay when I play my switch and broadcast on my monitor with it. Would highly recommend.
