Introducing "Local Wireless" Multiplayer Support
Ryujinx celebrates another groundbreaking feature release by becoming the first Switch emulator to implement “local wireless” multiplayer support!
NOTE: If you want to play Animal Crossing with our provided save file, you MUST first change your town and player name to play multiplayer! Click here for a guide to help you do that.
One of the biggest selling points of the Switch is its illustrious selection of multiplayer games. Many of these games take advantage of a Switch feature called "local wireless"; this facilitates multiplayer network connections between two or more Switch consoles within wireless range. Depending on the particular game menu, it may just be called Multiplayer or Local Multiplayer. Until now, those looking to enjoy emulated multiplayer Switch games with their friends had just two options: either play games in-person with multiple controllers connected to one emulator a.k.a. couch co-op, or attempt to use a remote streaming internet application to fool the emulator into thinking another person—and their controller—were present locally. Real multiplayer is finally here and working over the internet in Ryujinx, available now!
Ryujinx developers Ac_K and riperiperi have been hard at work to bring you this new feature, and they've written an article to explain how it all works! Click here to check it out.
One of the more popular games we can see this being used for is Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which will allow emulator users to visit each other's towns over the internet.
With this special release build, we are calling on all interested parties to use this feature and give us your feedback. We’ve tested as much as we can in-house; we need your help! Tell us what works; tell us what’s broken or how we can improve the user experience. Your reports will prove invaluable to our development team as we improve functionality and reliability before we incorporate this multiplayer support into our standard build.
In this build, you'll see a new tab in the settings called "Multiplayer". Set your username here (anything you like up to 16 characters), and remember that you can set and share passphrases to create private games. Click here for a quick guide who will help you to setup everything.
You should make sure to use the latest working version of a game if you want to play using Local Wireless, to ensure you can connect to each other. For example, the latest known working version of Animal Crossing is v.1.4.2, so make sure you and your friends are using this version!
The best way to report your findings is through the Ryujinx Discord, as always. If you find any games that don't work as expected, or display some kind of error in the console, report it on the #support channel! This is a pre-release, so we expect that games we haven't tested could have issues.
We're tracking compatibility for multiplayer games on the game list on GitHub. Here are the three tags you should have a look out for:
ldn-works: Local Wireless works properly
ldn-partial: Local Wireless works, but the experience is degraded or unstable
ldn-broken: Local Wireless is present, but does not work in Ryujinx
We've already tested the following games to work:
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- Splatoon 2
- Super Bomberman R
- Puyo Puyo Tetris
Note that some games may not be playable on local wireless, even though it does work. For instance, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe can play full matches, though differences in FPS between players causes them to desync and eventually disconnect. Other games may disconnect if a player is compiling shaders for too long. These problems are solvable in the future, but it's important to note!
