Hi,

Been trying to work this out and don't want to damage my switch!! Basically I have zero interest on taking my switch online ever (well Nintendo side) but don't want to risk it getting blocked, so have bought a new EMMC so I can keep the original pristine, I have restored my Emunand on to it and it is working great :), but I would like to remove the PRODINFO ideally so no matter what, the serial number is gone and the switch is safe if somehow it attempts to connects to Nintendo servers.

Can this be done? If so what tools as I have tried a couple but think they probably don't support Mariko, I couldn't seem to get NXNadManager to decrypt anything with my keys for example.

Any ideas would be great, or a definite no not possible!

Thanks

You're honestly better off using 90DNS

Exosphere + DNS MITM would be the best imo. You could add 90DNS too just to make sure i guess.

    Although in most systems these days physical is pretty shitty since it requires installation.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Series s can still do 1440p fine I just can't argue spending double over a few extra games you'll hardly notice
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Fps in games anyway
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like physical
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I dislike digital only when most games are cheaper physical.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    And with this sale the different is only 50€ to the series s
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Depends you can get a VPN and buy Argentina codes like half the cost
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Id need to use another account though iirc.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like having all my games in one account.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah just set your VPN and use redeem.microsoft it's been working for me
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Anyway, series x seems to be compatible with 360, so I could play all my games there.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I was thinking about the ps5 but only reall exclusive I'm interested in is FFXVI
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    and gamepass is nicer than sony's option
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    but dunno...
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Theirs not enough exclusives for ps5 especially since they're realizing PC sells
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    FFXVI will probably follow suit too
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    If Delta was an exclusive I'd probably buy a ps5 but nah
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Delta?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Mgs remake
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Ah, MGS?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    yeah, took me a sec there
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    All those years of anti scalpers and when consoles are finally back in stock everything's getting a PC port lol
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    is wild hearts any good? it seemed pretty promising but dunno
    Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
