Nearcade has been released in version 3.0.2.
Nearcade is a remote arcade gaming platform that lets players stream and play games together over the internet - as a desktop app (Electron) and an Android app.
The new version brings a complete rebrand from “Nearsec” to “Nearcade”, a new HIDMaestro input backend for Windows controllers, PipeWire screen capture on Linux/Wayland, and a rebuilt Android app with a new lobby system.
- Full Rebrand: All references to Nearsec have been replaced with Nearcade across the entire project, including UI strings, translations, documentation, and packaging.
- VR Streaming Foundation: Infrastructure added for WiVRn-based VR streaming on Linux, though this feature is still in progress and not yet ready for use.
- HIDMaestro Input Backend: New Windows gamepad emulation system complementing existing ViGEmBus driver support.
- Main Process Refactor: Significant restructuring of Electron’s main process with modularized IPC handlers and configuration management.
- Cloudflare Worker Arcade API: Server-side session management system with Pusher real-time updates and ban checking.
- Discord Integration: Webhook notifications for arcade sessions and moderation alerts.
- Ban Management System: IP-based ban system with dashboard UI and Bearer token authentication.
- PipeWire Capture: Linux screen capture using PipeWire portal for hardware-accelerated Wayland support.
- Android Rebuild: Comprehensive redesign of the Android application with new lobby system and rebranding.
