Setup for Exosphere and DNS.mitm

Both blanking prodinfo and blocking Nintendo connections are individually enough to avoid information logs being sent from the console to Nintendo and avoid a ban.

Atmosphère can block specified connections via its built in DNS.mitm feature using a hosts file. Atmosphère can also blank the prodinfo on launch; this is part of the exosphere settings.

Both of these options are already used if you followed one of the guide pages from shise.

Exosphere

1. Create a file named exosphere.ini in the root of your SD card
2. Copy and paste one of these configurations into exosphere.ini:

For emuMMC

This exosphere.ini example will make Atmosphère blank prodinfo when starting emuMMC.

[exosphere]
debugmode=1
debugmode_user=0
disable_user_exception_handlers=0
enable_user_pmu_access=0
blank_prodinfo_sysmmc=0
blank_prodinfo_emummc=1
allow_writing_to_cal_sysmmc=0
log_port=0
log_baud_rate=115200
log_inverted=0

For sysMMC

This exosphere.ini example will make Atmosphère blank prodinfo when starting sysMMC.

[exosphere]
debugmode=1
debugmode_user=0
disable_user_exception_handlers=0
enable_user_pmu_access=0
blank_prodinfo_sysmmc=1
blank_prodinfo_emummc=0
allow_writing_to_cal_sysmmc=0
log_port=0
log_baud_rate=115200
log_inverted=0

• The Hekate launch option line cal0blank=1 forces the blank_prodinfo line to be 1 regardless of the exosphere setting. And can be used instead of creating the exosphere file.

DNS.mitm (hosts file)

1. Create a file named default.txt in /atmosphere/hosts/ (the hosts folder won't exist, so make sure to create it)

2. Copy and paste the following configuration into default.txt:
   (📝 You can use the clipboard 📋 button top right of the box to copy the complete text)

   # Block Nintendo Servers
   127.0.0.1 *nintendo.*
   127.0.0.1 *nintendo-europe.com
   127.0.0.1 *nintendoswitch.*
   157.230.80.146 *conntest.nintendowifi.net
   157.230.80.146 *ctest.cdn.nintendo.net
   

• 📝 Note:
  If you plan to use Atmosphère on sysMMC for online play and emuMMC for offline play, rename the file to emummc.txt. The emummc.txt will only be used for emuMMC.
