Can someone who has successfully blanked prodinfo give me some pointers? I have tested out blanking prodinfo on a switch with 11.02, latest atmosphere as of today running on sysnand. The main reason for wanting it is to block system firmware updates.

I have added blank_prodinfo_sysmmc=1 in exosphere.ini

I have also tried adding cal0blank=1 to my hekate ipl but not sure if that's needed.

The serial still isn't blanked out, i am booting via the hekate payload then chainloading fusee-primary.

Think you can try Icognito_RCM, I don't think Blawar version of Incognito work on higher firmware. Have a NAND backup of the original Prodinfo before wiping it.

Where is your exosphere located?

try this exosphere.ini extract in sd card root
and if you use cal0blank=1 it will override exosphere.ini settings but it has the same effect
you can use Incognito RCM it removes the serial it dosnt just hide it
but with a simple backup you can restore it
both versions should work on up to 11.0.1

I thought incognito wasn't being updated anymore even the one that was branched off seemed to not be updated for newer versions. I've used the incognito rcm in the past on my own switch.

My exosphere.ini is in atmosphere/config i thought that was the right location maybe not? :/

OH... Atmosphere reads exosphere from sdroot maybe? Am i THAT thick? Maybe. :|

it must be in the root of the sdcard. Else it won't work.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
