Use at your own risk
Since on the discord i keep seeing the same question and issue over and over again.. figure this guide might help set people straight how to get it setup...
Feel free to leave comments, questions, flames, and etc... i'll get back to it if i feel like it~
**Note** Please FOLLOW THE ORDER OF THE TABS BELOW, Don't skip steps otherwise it won't work!!!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Setting up the clientSetting up the switch's network Setting up ldn_mitm(Kip/Sysmodule)Atmosphere (System Module - Recommended)
This is the more recommended method + suppose to be more stable.
Step 1. Download the latest ldm_mitm_v1.##.zip from [URL='https://github.com/spacemeowx2/ldn_mitm/releases'FAQOther notes
Setting up lan-play(client) on your computer
You have a few options
- Run client on your computer via command lines
- Run client via the gui
- Build the client on your choice of platform
to install homebrew first befor continuingCode:/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Option 1a. (Windows)Option 2b. (MacOS)Option 2Option 3a - Android PhonesOption 3b
Option 1. (Windows)
Step 1. Download and installwinpcapnpcap (Just do yourself a favor and get winpcap.... it works a lot better... trust me..... It works a lot better in my opinion.)
Step 2. Download the latest file at the github release page
Step 3. Run the client as admin
Step 4. Type in the server IP (You can find a list of public server in at the discord)
Step 5. The next section will give you a list of interface to pick from. Pick the one that you are using to connect to the internet with (as well as the same network your switch will connect to). **See Note 1 for help** **Not required on the latest lan-play client**
Step 6. It should split a few lines of things then at the end will say "pcap loop start" If so, you're should be good. *Move to switch setup*
Option 1. (MacOS)
Step 1. Open terminal
Step 2. Download the clinet via homebrew
Step 3. run the commandCode:brew install switch-lan-playCode:lan-play --relay-server example.server:11451
Option 2.
Step 1. Download and installwinpcap or the updatedNpCap (But get winpcap, trust me. It tends to work better in my opinion)
Step 2. Download your the gui - Lan Play GUI (I'm not endorsing anything, I know there are a few out there and this is the one I happen to pick to test with) and unzip it.
Step 3. Download the latest lan-play.exe from the github and place the .exe into the same folder as your lan-play-GUI
Step 4. Lauch lan-play-GUI (AS ADMIN)
Step 5. Press Add New Server and add your server of your choice (You can find a list of public server in at the discord)
Step 6. Click Connect to Server on the server you would want to join, a command prompt should pop up
Step 7. The next section will give you a list of interface to pick from. Pick the one that you are using to connect to the internet with (as well as the same network your switch will connect to). **See Note 1 for help** **Not required on the latest lan-play client**
Step 8. It should split a few lines of things then at the end will say "pcap loop start" If so, you're should be good. *Move to Switch setup*
Option 3a.
For rooted android phones only
Step 1. First you need to download the libs and packages required to build the client. Launch termux and enter in the following
Code:apt update apt install libpcap libuv pkg install cmake tsu git
Step 2. Download the git
Code:git clone https://github.com/spacemeowx2/switch-lan-play.git
Step 3. Change directory into the git folder and make a build directory
Code:cd switch-lan-play mkdir build cd build
Step 4. Build your client now
Code:cmake .. make
Step 5.Your client is now built, to run it you use
Note currently there is a bug with tsudo where it brings you to the root directory, hence you need to type the entire path to lan-play clientCode:cd src tsudo ./lan-play OR Try this method of the above does not work tsudo ./data/data/com.termux/files/home/switch-lan-play/build/src/lan-play Enter in the server you want to join
Step 6. Most likely the one you're going to pick will be wlan0 (unless you got some weird phone with multi wireless cards or you have a Ethernet jack on it) **Not required on the latest lan-play client**
Option 3b.
For most linux/raspberry pi/macos and stuff
Step 1a. Install libpcap-dev and libuv-dev open up terminal and run (if you are on a mac, skip to Step 1b.
Code:apt-get install libpcap-dev libuv-dev
Step 1b. Open up terminal and run (if you already completed step 1a, skip to step 2.)
Code:brew install cmake libpcap libuv
Step 2. Download the git
Code:git clone https://github.com/spacemeowx2/switch-lan-play.git
Step 3. Change directory into the git folder and make a build directory
Code:cd switch-lan-play mkdir build cd build
Step 4. Build your client now
Code:cmake .. make
Step 5. Your client is now built, to run it you use (you have to run it via sudo cause need access to the network interface card
Code:sudo ./lan-play --relay-server-addr example.com:11451
Step 6. pick your interface. Typically it is gonna be eth# or wlan# depending on if you're using Ethernet or wireless **Not required on the latest lan-play client**
Congrats, you have setup your client! Now time to setup your switch!
Also you can find a list of public servers on the discord #public-servers
Setup the switch's network
Step 1. Go to system settings --> Internet
Step 2. Click Internet settings
Step 2b. If you have a network setup already click that, if not read on. Click your home wireless network (preferably a 5.8ghz) and type in the wrong password. it'll give you an error but it'll let you change the settings this way
Step 3. Click Change Settings
Step 4. fix your password if you have to and change ip address setting to manual enter the following ip
Where xx and yy can be anything from 0-255 EXCEPT your ip should not be 10.13.37.1Code:IP Address Settings IP Address: 10.13.XX.YY Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 Gatewway: 10.13.37.1 Primary DNS: 163.172.141.219 Secondary DNS: 45.248.48.62
Step 5. Press save then connect to this network
So long as you setup your client properly (and started it first) it should connect. if so you're golden!
At this point, you can go and play any lan enabled games (modded or unmodded switches!!!)
NOTE: Make sure you have your lan-play client open before trying to connect with your switch, otherwise it WILL NOT WORK
Getting Local Wireless Play via lan with the ldn_mitm (kip/sysmodule)
As always you have several of options (Note: I am not going to cover how to install CFW onto your switch. I'm assuming you already know, if not go look for another guide to figure out how to install it then come back.)
Requirement: Download the ldn_mitm from the github
- Using Atmosphere
- Using Kosmos
- Using ReiNX
- Using SxOS
Atmosphere (Kip)Atmosphere (System Module - Recommended)KosmosReiNXSxOS
Atmosphere
Note: You should be using the latest atmosphere otherwise it may cause some issues
Step 1. Download the latest kip from here
Step 2. Open up your SDcard and go to the /atmosphere folder
Step 3. open up the kips folder (if you don't have one, create one)
Step 4. Drop the latest kip in there *Note Do not use
Step 5. push your fusee-primary payload (This will load all your kips in the kips folder)
Step 6. Connect to your wifi and go play some games!
This is the more recommended method + suppose to be more stable.
Step 1. Download the latest ldm_mitm_v1.##.zip from here.
Step 2. Unzip the zip file onto the root of your SD card. Select yes to replace/overwrite (it already has the correct path for atmosphere)
Step 3. push your fusee-primary payload.
Step 4. Connect to your wifi and go play some games!
Kosmos
Step 1. Make sure you get the latest kosmos
Step 2. Download the latest kip.
Step 3. Place the kip in your following path in your sdcard /modules/ldm_mitm/ldm_mitm.kip
Step 4. edit the /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini and enter this into it
StepCode:{------ ldn_mitm+CFW -----} [CFW + Lan-play] fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin kip1patch=nosigchk atmosphere=1 logopath=bootloader/bootlogo.bmp kip1=/modules/ldn_mitm/ldn_mitm.kip { }25. push hekate as your payload
Step36. Launch->ldn_mitm +CFW
Step47. Connect to your wifi and go play some games!
**yup its now 3 steps longer cause kosmos decided to remove this from their repo... blame them for making your life "harder"
ReiNX
Step 1. Download the latest kip. (Note you must be on ReiNX 2.0+)
Step 2. Open up your SD card and go to the /ReiNX/sysmodules folder
Step 3. Drop the kip in that folder.
Step 4. Push your reinx payload to your switch
Step 5. Launch ReiNX Toolbox and make sure you enable the ldn_mitm.kip
**Note my kips or old, ignore that**
Step 6. Connect to your wifi and go play some games!
SXOS
Step 1. Pick any of the above CFW cause SXOS doesn't support kips =/
Step 2. Follow the steps of the CFW you picked =]
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Profit
Congrats, TX finally added support for it.
Step 1. Download the latest SXOS (Beta v2.5 or later)
Step 2. Drop the boot.dat into your sdcard from the zip file you download
Step 3. Go into SX Menu--Options
Step 4. Enable "Internet local wireless play"
NOTE: SXOS is using an out of date kip that is very buggy and crashes a lot, if you get an error code, restart your switch!!!
FAQ
Q: How do I play smash online with my banned switch?!
A: Try reading the guide again....
Q: I'm getting a DNS resolution error when connecting my switch.
A: 1. Did you run the client as admin/sudo?
2. Did you select the correct interface?
3. Turn off your VPN on your client computer, most vpn will block local traffic including your switch
4. Re-read the guide first. make sure you didn't leave out any steps.
Q: How do I know if my kip got loaded properly or not?
A: Two ways 1. launch into a local wireless mode, and host a game.
Good -->< --- Bad
Loaded You screwed something up, reread the guide cause you missed something
Q: I installed everything properly but I still can't find any rooms even though there are x amount of people on the server
A: Just cause there are people on the server, it doesn't mean their playing or even playing the same game as you. try going on to their discord and use the #matchmaking-bot
Q: Can I use 90dns
A: Yes, and you should if you have an unbanned switch
Q: Does it matter if I use wifi or ethernet?
A: Yes and no... you should use ethernet, to help lower the ping/lag if not highly suggest you use 5gz connection otherwise
Q: The client shows me 1-0 as the interface
A: Most likely you either didn't installwinpcapnpcap/lilpcap or you didn't run it as admin/sudo
Q: I get a black screen when...
A: First suggestion, turn off your sys_ftp.kip, it crashes with atmosphere and maybe with reinx as well. second would be turn off layeredfs. I've had some issues running both of them together before Also, this is a virtual network, people can connect to your ftp pretty easily.
Q: Got an error code 2155-8007
A: Why are you trying to connect online.... use local wireless.... IE:
Q: What games can I play?
A: Check the spreadsheet
Q: omg this {Insert game title} is lagging so hard, how is this playable?! This sucks!
A: Well.. a. check your internet connection.. b. try playing with people within your region otherwise your ping will suck... c. connect to a server within your region.... d. Local wireless mode kinda suck... even if you're beside the person playing with legit local wireless, you still get some lag sometimes.... its pretty stupid....
Q: I downloaded my client from lan-play.com for macos and it is giving me "sudo ./lan-play-macos" but it returned "command not found"
A: You need to change the permission to 755FYI if you don't know how to use terminal and move to the folder with the file, just type sudo chmod 755 {drag and drop the file into terminal, it'll auto fill the path}Code:sudo chmod 755 {file name}
FAQ More to come~~~
Q: Will this work on my banned switch?
A: TL;DR Yes
Since you're not connecting to the Nintendo servers, yes it will still work.
Q: Local Wireless was working fine before but I'm getting and error when I try to use local wireless mode
A: Well its still the early stages, and the kip is quite buggy... a simple restart of the switch should fix it. (When in doubt, restart everything!)
Q: I sure I set everything up correctly, but I can find any games even though the server says there are 30+ users!
A: all that means is there are 30+ clients connected to the server... Doesn't actually mean there are 30+ games happening...

Note 1
If you have no idea which interface to use the best way to figure it out is
Window 10windows via cmd
Right click the network icon in the task tray area and click "Open Network & Internet Settings"
Click wifi/ethernet depending on which one you're using to connect to the internet
For Wifi, then press the wifi name and scroll all the way down
For ethernet press (what ever the Ethernet connection is called) and scroll all the way down
Look at that. For my example, pick the one that shows an ip 192.168.1.2
Open CMD (window key+R then type cmd)
type ipconfig
and you should see something similar to the following,
for my case I only have one ip, connect to the one that shows 192.168.1.2 as the ip
