Homebrew Question 90dns or Incognito?

[wafflebroguy]

I don't plan on playing online or accessing the eshop, but I also want to be able to access the homebrew app store. I've heard people recommend these two to not get banned, but what are the differences and is one better than the other?

Imcognito, but keep a backup of the prod.info.

90DNS alone is not enough in my opinion because all it takes is forgetting to add the DNS when you add a new wifi and it connects to the servers. Incognito is pretty much fool proof but doesn't actually block connection to Nintendo servers, it just anonymizes your Switch. Since they do different things, it's good to have both. But you'll probably be fine with just Incognito as well.

Do you know where the prod.info is located?

When you run Incognito_RCM it'll back up your prodinfo.bin to the root of your sd card

It stores it in the /Switch/ directory, that prodinfo.bin that it makes the first time is your backup of your original serial #, you need that or you would need to do a NAND restore if you lost it.

Also use CloudFlare DNS. its alot quicker. just my 2 cents

Tried to run Incognito_RCM, but when I try to backup sysnand and emummc, it keeps saying "unknown pkg1 version"

How are you running it? Try to inject it as a payload directly using something like tegrarcmgui.

personally I use incognitoRCM and not 90DNS
