I have traded some pokemons from my NSP Let's go Eevee copy to my friend's legitimate Let's go Pikachu cart, and she hasn't been banned (afaik)
I'll try to create some Mews in my copy and trade them to her, I'll let you know if she gets banned :P

From the title screen, hit right twice --> Local Wireless --> Create a room. Then have the second switch do the same but instead select join a room.
This is local play which requires wifi. Real ad hoc is only supported in specific switch games by entering a button combination at the title screen. Mario Kart is one of them.

So I'm a big dummy and misunderstood the OP. I still wonder though, will the clean switch send telemetry that it receives from the dirty switch (via LAN or ad hoc play) to N that identifies the dirty switch as hacked? If so, a dirty switch may be at further risk of ban for participating in ad hoc/LAN play.



You can have a wireless LAN that does not have internet access. Connect two switches to it and they can communicate with each other but not the internet.

Alternatively, you could use ad hoc, which is a direct connection between 2-8 consoles and does not require a router or internet connection. If you and a friend were stranded in the desert with your switches, hundreds of miles from the nearest wifi, you could still play Smash together using ad hoc.

OH!
How do you use this adhoc? Is it automatic with games or do I have to go to settings or something?

EDIT: nevermind seems game specific option :)

Airplane mode is on? It needs to be off
Do you use a kip file to make this work ? If yes, it's not ad hoc

EDIT : Alright I misunderstood, Smash Bros does not require wifi, that's why you need a kip file, to make it use WiFi so you can "emulate" local play and use Internet instead.

I haven't used kip files, not sure what that is. As far as Smash goes, ad hoc can be used on CFW or OFW consoles.

No its not. Its actual ad hoc because I've used it with both switches not on wifi at all.

Yes it's adhoc. It's a wireless adhoc, but its still adhoc.

The lan Play mode like the one available in Mario Kart for example works like that, that's the one we can use without a CFW. This mode is not (yet) available on Smash Bros, that's why we need to use a sysmod

Generate some pokemon with moves that would otherwise be unobtainable, like a Geodude with thunderbolt. Have her use those pokemon and moves in battles online, that oughta do it...

No, you don't need to use any sysmod or kip or anything, it's literally available as soon as you launch the game from an xci, nsp or the cart itself.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
