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 @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    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.
