[Adblock Plus 3.4] ! Title: 🎮 Game Console Adblock List ! Version: 10February2020v3-Alpha ! Expires: 4 days ! Description: Much like there's now lists for AdGuard Home and Pi-hole to block ads on smart-TVs, here's an attempt from me at doing the same for videogame consoles with AdGuard Home. Enjoy. ! Important note: To block ads in the consoles' dedicated internet browsers with AdGuard Home, and not in the system menus, check out https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/AdGuard%20Home%20Compilation%20List/AdGuardHomeCompilationList.txt instead. ! For more information, details, helpful tools, and other lists that I've made, visit https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/blob/master/Wiki/General-info.md#english ! ——— PlayStation 3 ——— ! Ads ||nsx-e.np.dl.playstation.net^ ! What's New ||mercury.dl.playstation.net^ ! PlayStation Store Preview, incl. 'My Channels' logos ||nsx.np.dl.playstation.net^ ! Ticker ads in the XMB clockbar ||adproxy.ndmdhs.com^ ! ——— Nintendo 3DS ——— ! Blocks the "Theme Shop", with the intention of preventing the annoying pink dot in the upper left of the Home Menu from reappearing all the time. ! WARNING: The "Theme Shop" should be visited once to remove the pink dot, and only then should this list be subscribed to. ||npdl.cdn.nintendowifi.net^ ! ——— Wii U ——— ! Believed to reduce the initial loading time of Wii Sports Club by several seconds ! Since no third-party Miiverse clients with console support are believed to be able to exist by now (January 2020), this entry is pretty much here to stay. ||discovery.olv.nintendo.net^ ! ——— Xbox One ——— ! Removes sponsored info slots in the system menu ! https://new.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/act023/psa_block_the_sponsored_banner_ad_on_the_xbox_one/ ||arc.msn.com^ ! ——— Xbox 360 ——— ! Removes paid advertising on the Xbox Live Dashboard ! https://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-360/Block_Ads_on_Xbox_Live ||rad.msn.com^ ! ——— Nintendo Switch ——— ! There is a system setting for getting rid of the Nintendo eShop advertisements on the lockscreen, which is hidden in System Settings → System → News Channel Settings → Nintendo News → Unfollow. ! I am considering adding "@@||104.198.251.169" as I had much more luck finding online opponents in Mario & Sonic 2020 when I whitelisted it, but it'd only be needed for those who use those converted versions of EasyList that block 104.198.*.*, and it would likely have interfered with update blocker lists. ! ——— Nintendo DS / Wii ——— ! For a largely official list to connect to Wiimmfi (for DS games only) and RiiConnect24, check out https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RiiConnect24/DNS-Server/master/dns_zones-hosts.txt ! ——— PlayStation 4 ——— ! There is a system setting for getting rid of homescreen "Buy Now"-type ads, which is hidden in Settings → System → Automatic Downloads → Featured Content → Off. ! ——— PlayStation 2 ——— ! I am not personally aware of any Free McBoot homebrew apps that can connect to external domains, let alone unintentionally. ! There were multiple third-party online game servers for the PS2, of which PS2 Online and OpenSpy are the only ones with some functionality still working. ! Any IP redirection entries for those two servers would've excluded one another; plus it appears that griefing was/is a very huge concern among the PS2 modding community, which I can vaguely presume is why they haven't openly revealed their DNS-server-side IP redirections. ! ——— Dreamcast ——— ! Although I have become aware of the existence of Dreamcast Live, I can't find the IP address redirections used by their DNS server. ! ——— Other consoles ——— ! Entry suggestions on GitHub would be much appreciated. Especially for portable PlayStation consoles, as I don't own any of them.
