App Details
ChatNX turns your Nintendo Switch into an AI companion. It talks to Puter's AI gateway over Wi-Fi, so you chat straight from the console.
Features:
- Chat with multiple AI models (Claude, GPT, and more)
- Generate images from a text prompt, saved to a built-in gallery with a full-screen zoom/pan viewer
- Analyze any Switch screenshot by attaching it to your question
- Voice dictation with a USB microphone
- Live usage and quota tracking, with a per-model cost breakdown
- Wireless setup: scan a QR code to enter your Puter token
- Full interface and AI responses in 28 languages
Requires Atmosphère custom firmware, a Wi-Fi connection, and a free Puter account. Unofficial homebrew, not affiliated with Nintendo.
Changelog
v1.0.1
Puter, the AI gateway ChatNX talks to, made its chat endpoint subscription-only
in September 2026. Free accounts -- which is what ChatNX uses -- started getting
"A subscription is required for this action" on every message, and chat stopped
working entirely. This release restores it.
If you are running 1.0.0, you need this update: chat is dead without it.
Fixed
- Chat.- Requests go through Puter's current free path again. All seven
built-in models reply, and gpt-5.5 no longer fails on every message.
- Image generation.- The default engine (Cloudflare FLUX) is broken on
Puter's side, so image generation failed for everyone, including fresh
installs. It has been replaced and existing configs are migrated
automatically. Two OpenAI engines are now offered, standard and HD.
- Usage screen.- Puter switched its metering unit from dollars to credits,
so the screen read 0.00 throughout; it now shows credits out of the
monthly allowance. The per-resource table also displayed three rows that
were not resources at all while silently hiding three that were, and its
"sort by number" ordered on a column you could not see.
- Messages after a failed send.- They were glued together without a
separator, so the model answered a mangled word instead of the question.
- Unwanted images.- A bare "yes" with nothing proposed could make the app
draw a picture instead of replying.
- Keyboard.- Text entry was locked to Latin layouts. The keyboards the
console provides for Japanese, Russian, Korean and Chinese are now
reachable, and long text in those scripts is no longer truncated.
Note that the Switch itself only ships keyboards for eleven languages, so
Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Hindi and Greek remain readable but not typeable.
