[Feature request] Request for Windows ARM64 Build

[nov1ces]

Thank you for the great work on this project. I would like to request support for a Windows ARM64 build. This would be highly beneficial for users running the software on ARM64-based Windows devices, as it would allow for better performance and compatibility.

Please consider adding this feature in future releases. Thank you for your attention to this request.

This is likely possible, there are two major blockers:

• Usb support: last time i looked into it the USB driver we use (google's android ADB driver) did not support windows on arm, we need that and libusb and i'm not sure they support arm yet.
• I don't have a windows on arm device to test so support would be community driven like macos

I'll start looking into this but don't expect to be able to release it in a short timeframe.

I was able to get this working, heres how:

Plug in your switch to your laptop, and you will find SysDvr in device manager. Right click it, then click on update driver> browse my computer for drivers> Let me pick from a list of available drivers> scroll down until you see universal serial bus devices> winusb device> select winusb device.

Im not sure if these are 100% the correct instructions, so feel free to correct me if i made a mistake

This is actually a nice trick which should solve the driver issue. Hopefully the windows intel compatibility layer works fine for most people.

As an update on this issue, this is still eventually coming but likely not anytime soon. I don't have a WoA device and all the popular ones seem to be expensive laptops which i can't justify getting for just sysdvr support. I might get a cheaper mini pc if i can find one (or if windows on arm ever gets good enough i'll upgrade to an arm laptop).

Regarding that there are ways that you can do it. If you have a raspberry pi or adruino that has an arm64 cpu, then you can directly install windows, though I cannot tell you how well it will run.

Another option would be running it in a VM, such as QEMU. I havent done too much research, but this post explains how to do it https://www.reddit.com/r/ARMWindows/comments/1gb6m9l/running_win11_arm64_on_x86_via_qemu/

I don’t have much coding experience, I could try to help mainly with testing or troubleshooting on ARM hardware. If you want someone to help you test it, you can reach me on discord (soukie007).

I did look into using a raspberry pi a while ago, there's a port but it seems to run pretty badly, same with the link you posted

I ran arm64 version of win11 on my x86-64 laptop under qemu. The windows 11 is dreadfully slow but stable

This will most likely have to wait.

I have an old Windows 8 ARM Windows Tablet that I could sell to you for cheap

I would be very much interested in an arm64 build for Windows, unfortunately from what I've seen it doesn't seem like there is an android studio/usb driver for adb on arm64 based windows. I have an Asus NovaGo TP370QL powered by a Snapdragon 835
