Vanilla for Nintendo Switch patches released
Added 2025-05-06 02:34:58 +0000 UTCSorry for the long wait, but I've officially published my patches to get Vanilla working correctly on the Nintendo Switch! You can find the files and instructions at the following GitHub repo:

It's a fairly complicated setup unfortunately. Ultimately it would probably be a better solution to make a custom L4T distro with the correct firmware/module baked in that you can just copy to your SD card and boot (similar to what I was planning for the Raspberry Pi), but that can come later.

2025-05-23 04:51:00 +0000 UTCUnfortunately you'll still need some sort of direct access to Wi-Fi hardware to achieve the connection. I actually wondered how hard it would be to just emulate the official Wii U gamepad firmware since it's all ARM-based, but you'd still need real/unemulated Wi-Fi hardware to achieve the connection (and for legal reasons it would be harder to distribute that)
