Frequently Asked Questions
Why decide to develop Console Link?
I don't use a monitor and primarily use a MacBook Air and iPad Pro for my daily tasks. I wanted to enjoy playing games on PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch during my free time using my MacBook Air and iPad Pro. However, after trying out software like OBS, QuickTime Player, Orion, Genki Studio and Monicon, I was dissatisfied due to severe overheating, frame drops, lag, or cumbersome operations. None of them met my requirements. Console Link was conceived and developed in response to these specific needs.
