How To Install

Run the following in a bash shell to install:

pushd /tmp &>/dev/null

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nimaid/88bd1023956682b374bc99a0f176264c/raw/install_slp.bash -O install_slp.bash
sudo chmod +x ./install_slp.bash
sudo ./install_slp.bash
sudo rm ./install_slp.bash

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nimaid/88bd1023956682b374bc99a0f176264c/raw/run_slp.bash -O run_slp
sudo chmod +x ./run_slp
sudo mv ./run_slp /usr/local/bin/

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/nimaid/88bd1023956682b374bc99a0f176264c/raw/run_slp_tmux.bash -O run_slp_tmux
sudo chmod +x ./run_slp_tmux
sudo mv ./run_slp_tmux /usr/local/bin/

popd &>/dev/null

How To Use

Simply plug in an ethernet cable and type the following command in your bash shell:

run_slp [Address:Port]

Replace [Address:Port] with the server you want to connect to.

You can find a list of public servers with their player count and open game rooms by clicking this link.

Example command:

run_slp frog-skins.com:11451

Once the server is running connect to the same network on your switch using the settings explained in step 1 of the linked guide.

Your internet settings should look something like the following:

• IP Address Settings
  • IP Address: 10.13.1.1
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
  • Gateway: 10.13.37.1
• DNS settings
  • Primary DNS: 163.172.141.219
  • Secondary DNS: 207.246.121.77
• MTU: 1500

Once you connect, you won't be able to use the internet for things such as downloading games or updates. This is normal, and you should be able to now connect to the lan-play server of your choice.
