Homebrew WIP [Official] switch-lan-play

Great stuff! I've used this to play a few rounds of MK8 Deluxe on my Switch running ReiNX. It worked flawlessly!

If anyone's interested I've uploaded a precompiled binary for 32 bit ARM Linux systems (armhf) here as the ones hosted on the GitHub repo are for x86/x64. It might come in handy if you have a Raspberry Pi or a similiar SBC but you're too lazy to compile the code yourself

I should try running that on my zsun. (its small, and can be powered right off the switch's usb-C port. might also try running it on the travel modem injector dongle. Network services were one of the things that were possible perks of ownership, afterall.)

so there's local (game) updates or something like that, right? can this tech be used to wirelessly update software to match host?

Haven't thought this way. Will test it today.

I'm not sure if "Match Version with Local Users" goes over LAN or local wireless, but I will say that it does not rely on Nintendo in any fashion since a permabanned switch can update via the option.

If it goes over LAN we could potentially use lan-play as an update distribution method, heh.

So it seems that the "L" is present on the wifi icon when popping open the quick menu - it seems updates occur over Local Wireless, not LAN.

Ninty is known to use nonstandard protocols for local "wireless" play. Be that as it may, it is just datagrams in the end. Perhaps these could be piped over PPP encapsulation?

I dont think my 5Mbps connection will be suitable for this, but thanks for the hard work.
One day, when i will live somewhere near the planet Earth i will check this out.

No, they don't.
Tested.

That's a significantly more complicated issue that you make it sound, because "local wireless" is switch-to-switch with no wireless router. Sure, with a WLAN device in monitor/promiscuous mode that can both capture packets from a switch and broadcast packets recieved over the internet you can do that, but that's a whole new thing and out of scope for switch-lan-play.

PPP should be the least of your concerns here. It should be "what kind of hardware does everyone need to standardize on" for such a thing in the first place, as well as how to identify and capture switch-specific packets so we can even relay and replay them in the first place.
