Whether lurking on an older firmware, banned from online activities, or unwilling to fork out for Nintendo's Switch Online, a lot of us find ourselves stuck in the void of single-player gaming. The release of switch-lan-play opened doors previously closed, allowing us to play a select list of games online regardless of bans and subscriptions. Taking another step forwards, we have ldn_mitm: a custom kip to break the final chains, to allow almost every game supporting local wireless to be enjoyed online.

Requirements:

1. Atmosphère 0.8.0+ SXOS 2.5 Beta+
   
2. switch-lan-play (setup guide)
3. ldn_mitm

How to Use (Atmosphere):

1. Download the zip from the release pages.
2. Extract the zip to your sd card,
3. Boot up Atmosphere with fusee primary.bin
4. Start your game of choice, and select local wireless play
5. (Optional) Use official Switch-lan-play discord to match make and find other players,

How to Use (SXOS):

1. Download the latest SXOS. Here
   
2. Go to SX Menu then to options.
   
3. Enable ldn_mitm,
4. Go in-game and select the Wireless Play Option (If you see an L in your WiFi bars that means that the kip did not load and that you need to reboot)

You can find a list of currently tested games here.


It is recommended to only use ldn_mitm and lan-play.exe from their official releases, third-party apps and homebrew are not supported.

i just want to know if i can play online (with local mode of course) with my friend in other country with his legit switch and legit game With me with my switch hacked and banned ??

You can cross play banned switches with real switches on games that natively support LAN with this. On the games that don't support LAN your friend would have to softmod his switch to play with you

 

[jujuassou]

Yes and Smash, of course have no LAN ? or have LAN but nobody have found it yet ?
But if my friens softmod his switch = ban...and he won't be banned (and i don't want he is banned)

This really was the last step. Now it really doesn't matter to be banned.
Nintendo Cloud Saves (not for all games by the way)? -> We have checkpoint.
Nintendo Online NES? -> We have RetroArch.
Nintendo Online Gaming? We have ldn_mitm.

Yes and no.
This does not allow us to connect to other console that are not hacked. So we can't play with friend who does not want to hack their console.

Thanks for this! Didn't know this was a thing, I need to figure out a way now tho. To boot my game which is an xci.... lol

I'm never connected long enough. when press to join, I either get unable to join or a communication error. This is how it was for the beginning of lan play, the only thing I can think of that's causing these errors is I'm using my spectrum router or the lan adapter i'm using which is plugable lan adapter, not to sure if anyone else is using that adapter. Atleast i seen I can connect both lan and wireless with this kip. Also I started to see this error code once in awhile 2011-0301. retro arch is the only thing that never gave problems when I test the connection.

 

[The Minish LAN]

Damn, this is really fucking cool. Great job spacemeowx2 and Cubuss!

 

[fst312]

Is that normal to see or is it supposed to stay connected, if it supposed to stay connected, this is the cause of why I can’t play against people, I always see that -4095 number.

 

[fst312]

ok I'm happy to say i connected and played against someone but after the battle the game disconnected because error 2011-0301.

Edit
it was a link vs bowser battle
whoever i was against maybe you'll see this post.

phew.. too many poor people still saying "this cfw's better!" or "that cfw's better!"
why not mature and develope greater things together?

SX OS is just like any CFW. There are no "poor people", there are "knowledgeable people".

 

[uludag]

You did not get the point. I am not talking about financially poor people but poor minded people, always argueing about which cfw is better. I think you and I have more or less the same standpoint.

 

[Small Kat]

If my kip doesnt load, do i need to reboot the switch or the game?

 

[DU66IE]

Can I create a season character in Diablo 3 with this?

Great work, Nintendo’s paid online is 1 of 2 reasons I have not bought a switch and likely won’t till the end of its life (the other reason being them releasing the same used up games from the console directly before)

Hope to see this online community grow.

Would be awesome if someone could make a hack that gets free official online, Nintendo’s security is soft and weak so I could see it happening.

Nintendo lost its sparkle when they released the same games from wiiU as top titles on switch & began charging for online on their tiny library of games

New version is out v0.1.2-beta make sure to update to this one, this should fix the communication errors a lot of people got.
