Local Wireless "bridge" for non-jailbroken switches
Just an idea, but would it be possible to add a function to switch-lan-play to "repeat" the local wireless connection over lan-play server?
Like this:
My Switch <-> Virtual WiFi-Repeater from lan-play-client <-> lan-play-server <-> Virtual WiFi-Repeater from lan-play-client <-> Other Switch
Edit: Maybe repeater is the wrong word and bridge fits better.
so how host console must to start his own server if he will always be in ad-hoc mode? how to implement on PC autoconnect to ad-hoc local server on switch? it's too hard because host console always must be online and have 'connection' to lan-play virtual repeater as you say.
ldn_mitm is better variant because it's not move console in ad-hoc mode as usual it does. So you can play games with lan-mode ingame to play with unhacked consoles, but i think it's impossible or maybe hard to create ad-hoc connection emulation to switch from any another wifi devices
I don't quite get what you are saying. We already have the possibility to play with ldn_mitm and there are a lot of unrecoverable disconnects happening with laggy server, switch losing wifi or bad internet connection. This does not back your argument.
What I was asking for is a wireless bridge that would let us connect with vanilla switches (f.e. Mariko devices) over the internet. I guess it is difficult and maybe impossible to mimic and I have to admit, that this is far beyond my scope.
Maybe it is possible with the use of external hardware like a dd-wrt router. But I'm lacking the knowledge and skills to find out how ad-hoc pairing of the switch works or if they do use standard wifi approved connection handling.
Protocol is here: https://switchbrew.org/wiki/LDN_services#ldn
I think the most hard part of the protocol is make wireless adapter associate with the NS. I think we can do this by netlink in Linux. But I haven't try that.
I hate to have to bump this dead issue, but if someone actually did make a local wireless adapter to associate with the Switch between two Switch consoles, a Switch emulator to an actual Switch console, or two different Switch emulators on PC, vice versa, that would be amazing and wouldn't have to require CFW for them. But yeah, that might be hard to do.
I think it might be better with just a spare V1 Switch instead. I got my second V1 Switch from Japan on Ebay so your only option for using it with certain games like Pokémon for example, then that's your only choice.
