3 years ago I didn't read all this, but our official (and the only supported guide) is at http://www.lan-play.com. Click switch install or ps4 install depending on what platform you plan to use

3 years ago Definitely installed that far, just didn't work with a game that I tried, which made me curious of the connections and layers that's not as easy to troubleshoot without better understanding.
Included this much detail to help when expanding information anywhere, and what I gathered from other users too.
Sorry if this is too verbose. Just trying to find the right, but also all of the confusions I had going through a setup process involving this project.
I see the README has some useful information, but I might like a bit more that can be concisely phrased as well though.
Another user reminded me when they were commenting on this as well, of when I finally went to test this module for myself.
I was hoping to follow a guide, and found some instructions for switch-lan-play, that seems to provide a PC proxy server and central connection service, along with those instructions, while this project seems to only provide a console system code module.
Along or even from, I found this GBATemp forum post that seems to have more technical information that may help tell me when I need these projects and not, but I'm curious whether this contains all that I need to understand further questions.

So if I want to play with someone in the same room, game-included local wireless play helps with that, and I need none of these projects.
That sounds a bit confusing since the words ad-hoc are used for that case, and the other includes phrasing of a typical wifi connection involving a router. I'm not sure when this case is useful in normal modes, but thought it would help connecting with other consoles locally, just farther away.
With that idea, I'm not sure what is necessary with this module in order to connect to services like SLP without just some simple network re-configuring, like what I have found in their guide.
If it is necessary, like I see the note in the image about making the console switch between methods at some point internally, then I wonder if these 2 projects can be used independently for any other types of situations, and how those borders can be understood.
Lastly, it seems these projects provide an almost first-party similar service, but using the local option. Games that were only programmed to support that pathway are not actually being redirected now, probably for business reasons. I may have had a problem with this even when the game was listed as having a local play option, even when I had the latest update. I looked for support about this and didn't find anything from others yet. I even barely saw mention of some special key combinations to try for some certain games, and those didn't seem to work either.
So it would help adding some of this information directly in the readme, especially specific to this project, that could elaborate when it does and does not help or change the console's functionality, possibly to some of the concerns I have tried writing here.
