! Title: 🎮 Game Console Adblock List
! Version: 10February2020v2-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.

! ——— Xbox One ———
! Removes sponsored info slots in the system menu

! ——— 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 are multiple third-party online game servers for the PS2, of which Qtracker and Bobz Entertainment appear at a surface glance to be the most reliable ones as of January 2020; but they are incompatible with one another, thus I can't add IP redirection entries for core GameSpy domains to this list, as they'd only support one server.
! ——— 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.
