ldn_mitm

Information

ldn_mitm is a sysmodule that allows you to route the local wireless ad-hoc network traffic of the Switch via the network your Switch is connected to, essentially allowing "LAN" functionality between consoles and emulators using ldn_mitm. The official Github repository for ldn_mitm can be found here.

Common use cases for ldn_mitm:

  • It can be used in combination with lan-play
  • It can be used in combination with XLink Kai
  • It can be used in combination with real Switch consoles and emulators

Installation requirements:

  • An archive manager like 7-Zip
  • The latest release of ldn_mitm (the ldn_mitm.zip file)

Installation instructions:

  1. Boot into Hekate and go to Tools > USB Tools > SD Card, then plug your Switch into your PC via USB.
  2. Your microSD card should now be accessible on your PC, open it.
  3. Extract the .zip file to a location on your computer.
    • If your archive manager allows for it, you can also simply open the .zip file directly.
  4. Copy the contents of the (extracted) .zip file to the root of your microSD card.
    • Optional: You can verify if you've installed ldn_mitm correctly, you should have a folder called 4200000000000010 (ldn_mitm) in sd:/atmosphere/contents and the ldnmitm_config.nro file in sd:/switch/ldnmitm_config.
  5. Boot into CFW.

Basic usage instructions

You can enable/disable ldn_mitm by opening the Homebrew menu, opening ldn_mitm's config app and pressing Y to toggle ldn_mitm.

Troubleshooting

My Switch crashes on boot after I installed ldn_mitm!:

Cause: If your Switch crashes with Error std::abort (0xFFE) and Title ID 4200000000000010, you're using a version of ldn_mitm that's incompatible with your Atmosphere version. The expected Atmosphere version is mentioned on each release page of an ldn_mitm release.

 

ldn_mitm isn't working!:

Assuming you've followed the installation instructions successfully, this is probably due to the archive bit being set on one or more folders/files on your microSD card. This is usually the result of copying files to a microSD card via a Mac. If you are experiencing this issue, try running the archive bit fixer utility via Hekate for all files.

This can be done by booting into Hekate and going to Tools > Arch bit • RCM Touch • Pkg1/2 > Fix Archive Bit.
