A mod that redirects the eShop's error page (when using a dns to block Nintendo's servers, for example 90DNS) to https://dns.switchbru.com/, allowing you to use the internal browser.

Note: A Nintendo ID has to be linked to a user, else you can't launch the eBrowser applet. For those who don't have such an account, it is recommended using XorTroll's browser in Goldleaf instead.

Installation

Put the two folders in your sdmc:/[your cfw (atmosphere/reinx/sxos)]/contents folder and make sure you have LayeredFS enabled.

You can change the icon of the eShop by modifying __Combined.bntx in ResidentMenu.szs. More info here.

It is also possible to change the launch sound, but for that you'd have to edit qlaunch.bfsar and replace qlaunch_0000004B.bfwav.

User guide

This probably is only for people who block Nintendo's servers. SXOS' Steal Mode does not work with this. This just replaces two out of three errorpages with a page that redirects to google.com, and replaces the original eShop domain whitelist to allow all domains.

WhitelistEc.txt:

^.

ErrorPageTemplate.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://dns.switchbru.com/" />

ErrorSubPageTemplate.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://dns.switchbru.com/" />

Compatibility

Works on 5.x-6.x.

Known issues

  • The eShop unfortunately still starts loading until it times out. Edit: the os seems to block touch and controller input except for the homebutton, so you *still can't navigate while it is loading in the background.
  • Screenshots cannot be taken.
  • No cursor, only the select box.
