Ryujinx adds LDN3 feature, allowing emulator users to play online with CFW Switch consoles

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.png

The Ryujinx team has just added a major feature to their Nintendo Switch emulator. Builds with LDN3 are now available, which offer ldn_mitm support. This milestone allows Ryujinx users to play together with those on hacked Nintendo Switch systems running CFW. Normally, this would only function so long as users are both on the same network, but there's a workaround that you might be aware of: the switch-lan-play tool. There are guides available that can allow a computer to act as a host for an online game, allowing users to play a wide variety of games together, online, and now, regardless of whether or not you're on actual hardware or using an emulator. Lan-play supports lots of games, including the recently released Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Prior to this update, only games that had a "LAN mode" could communicate across Switch and PC hardware; this is unfortunate as only about a dozen or so titles actually support this feature. That barrier is removed with ldn_mitm. Games such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, showcased above, can now achieve interconnectivity with a hacked Nintendo Switch when the ldn_mitm submodule is used.

That's not all, either; this latest build of Ryujinx also offers a big performance upgrade for those Pokemon titles, as well as making Splatoon 3 playable on AMD GPUs, and fixing Animal Crossing: New Horizons so that the intro can be played without having an existing save file.

The 'same network' is important here and is technically exploitable to allow long-distance communication, if you have a second PC lying around to act as the lan-play console host. It gets complicated fast with all the network jargon, but there is a guide up on lan-play's webpage if anyone is interested.

For most users, this feature simply enables all those non-LAN compatible games such as Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros, Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, Mario Party and many other titles to connect to their PC (or Steam Deck!). On the other hand, if you're a professional network engineer and/or have a spare PC lying around, then we're sure you can think of some ingenious ideas!

not stupid, it just makes sense - you can run an emulator on a computer worth $$$$$ / run it on many different types of hardware which is more powerful that the switch.

but big N is limited to the switch's $250~ hardware from 2017

Their games run better on emulators because the Switch was launched as a portable device 5 years ago that aimed to be power efficent and affordable at the same time. The biggest constraint of the console is RAM, and it already has twice what was originally intended because OG developers pushed for it and Nintendo listened.

Then consider the X1 is tech from 2015, and the Nintendo version runs at slower speeds

7 year old mobile tech vs full fledged PC that not only costs thousands of dollars but is also huge and tethered to a wall

Didn’t you know? Nintendo was originally planning on travelling back in time to give everyone a free upgrade to the Switch 2, but they lost the keys to the DeLorean after a night of Go-Karting with Bowser.

Same goes for literally every fully emulable console out there. I don't see people talking about how stupid Sony is for having Vita games running better on Switch, for example.

And the same people complaining about how the games run faster on considerably more powerful PC's, will also complain when Nintendo release a considerably more powerful switch.

    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
