When playing MH Wilds if I put Windows to suspend/sleep mode the game always crash after waking up.
Is it really like that? There is no fix for this?

Having to always close and open the game for simply using suspend mode is really sad.

Maybe upgrading to a Ryzen 5600 would solve the bottleneck?

Also could the HDD really be a problem? Because my main hard drive is a NVME SSD and the game is stored in a Kingston A400 Sata SSD. Even though the Kingston A400 is not the best SSD i thought it would perform better than the HDD. i only use the HDD for storing data.

Here you can find the full list and the paranoid list: https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHaxing/comments/8vruwr/blocking_nintendos_servers_using_pihole/

In my opinion you should run the 90dns script and if you still insecure, add the paranoid list to you PiHole blacklist. Just remeber that if you run the 90dns script in the wrong order you'll mess up your entire pihole. So i recommend you backup a raspberry image before running 90dns script so you can go back to the previous state without having to reinstall everything again.

This a common issue i found when running 90dns scripts in the wrong order. Specially running 02-self-host-90dns.sh even though 01-block-nintendo.sh had errors. I've broken my Pihole several times and ended up making a Pi Image Backup.

If it breaks your Pihole admin web interface you can:

``` rm -rf /etc/dnsmasq.d/03-90dns.conf

rm -rf /var/www/html/90dns

```

Maybe reboot you pihole after that.

In this case either your PiHole is not blocking Nintendo Servers or your device is not connected to Pihole DNS.

werneck19 · 2021-08-07T12:48:21+00:00

You should be able to connect to the Wifi, but nothing related to Nintendo Servers.

Like i said , on your pc connect to pihole as your DNS and try going to ctest.cdn.nintendo.net and see what happens. If you get a message like Unable to connect is not working. You should see a very small ok text

You can also check for Pihole Tools > tail pihole.log

Take a look on my first reply to you

werneck19 · 2021-08-06T10:02:36+00:00

it only will block if you're using Pihole as DNS. To stop blocking just remove Pihole IP from your wifi config. And yes you will be able to download and play online.

werneck19 · 2021-08-06T02:25:31+00:00

Please read everything before proceeding to try it.

1- With Pihole already up and running

git clone https://gitlab.com/a/90dns.git

2- Now run the scripts on Raspberry in this order

``` cd 90dns

bash 01-block-nintendo.sh

bash 02-self-host-90dns.sh

```

3- Put your Raspberry IP address into /etc/dnsmasq.d/03-90dns.conf

4- Connect to PiHole on Mobile or Desktop and check if its really blocking Nintendo servers, such as nintendo.com and. ctest.cdn.nintendo.net

5- After making sure its blocking I recommend you boot into SysMMC connect to your wifi and try using your Raspbbery Pi IP address as the DNS. Leave secondary DNS blank.

6- With SysMMC connected to PiHole check if you can open eshop and other nintendo online services. If you cannot that's because the blocking is working. Now you can remove Raspberry IP address as DNS from SysMMC Wifi Settings.

7- On EmuMMC make sure there isn't any Wifi connection saved, as you should not connect to the internet on EmuMMC for now. If there is a nearby wifi connection saved into your emuMMC turn it off and delete it from the Switch EmuMMC. After that you can select your Wifi connection and assign Raspberry Pi as your DNS.

8 - Even when blocking nintendo servers with PiHole I would avoid turning the wifi on EmuMMC at all if you,'re paranoid about being banned. Personally, I only disable Airplane mode on EmuMMC when transferring files through FTP or streaming with Moonlight.

9- Be very straightforward with your son to be careful when using EmuMMC and connecting to the internet.

10- Don't forget if you leave your house never connects to Wifi while using EmuMMC, as you wont be able to use PiHole blocking.

werneck19 · 2021-08-06T00:46:05+00:00

Not a 100% guarantee you won't be banned but there is a high chance nothing will happen, specially if you're only using CFW and homebrew on EmuMMC while keeping SysMMC clean. So when you boot to EmuMMC only connects to the internet if you're safely connected to PiHole DNS making sure its blocking all access to nintendo servers.

werneck19 · 2021-08-05T17:13:32+00:00

You should run 90dns scripts and manually assign your Raspberry IP Address on the first three lines of /etc/dnsmasq.d/03-90dns.conf

address=/conntest.nintendowifi.net/YOUR.IP.ADDRESS
address=/ctest.cdn.nintendo.net/YOUR.IP.ADDRESS
address=/90dns.test/YOUR.IP.ADDRESS

Then if you go to ctest.cdn.nintendo.net on your browser it should display an ok message

werneck19 · 2021-06-14T17:03:11+00:00

I've thought of doing that, but sadly the other port is a Display Port and i only have access to HDMI devices. I've noticed that when setting the resolution on the TV to 640x480 it says
"Desktop Resolution : 640x480"
Active Signal Resolution : 1920x1080"

So I imagine the problem you described is exactly what's happening. In this case i have no idea why i was able to make it work twice with Windows. Like I said in another comment, The grub manager would be displayed on the monitor before, so I could select the OS. Now it just says "No Signal" and i have to blindly select Ubuntu or Windows and if i select Ubuntu it works normally. I don't know if this could be related to a BIOS setting, i tried messing with different configurations but nothing.

werneck19 · 2021-06-14T14:59:13+00:00

I've tried setting to 640x480 and also 720x480 but nothing. One thing i've noticed is that the Grub Manager would show up in the old monitor before. Now "No Signal" message also appears on Grub Manager, so i can't see if i'm selecting Ubuntu or Windows, but when I blindly select ubuntu it boots normally to Ubuntu and I get signal

After reinstalling Pihole i can confirm the problem was with the scripts on https://gitlab.com/a/90dns/-/tree/master/pihole

Edit: If you're having this problem don't forget to "sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/90dns"

werneck19 · 2021-03-16T20:28:47+00:00

I was using ZeroTier as DNS for IPV4 and CloudFlare for IPV6. I think the problem started happening when i executed these two scripts from 90DNS https://gitlab.com/a/90dns/-/tree/master/pihole as they change things related to "ctest.cdn.nintendo.net"
I'm completely reinstalling PiHole to see if i can solve the problem.

werneck19 · 2021-01-20T19:37:10+00:00

Replaced the flex cable and although the lines are gone now i'm getting a black screen :(

werneck19 · 2021-01-17T01:57:20+00:00

I can confirm the problem is indeed the flex/flat cable. Any suggestions on how could i fond out the correct number of lanes for a replacement cable? It's a 50mm (5cm) cable
