Wipes some personal information from your Nintendo Switch by removing it from PRODINFO (CAL0).

Note: Atmosphere blocks writes to PRODINFO, so you must use ReiNX, SX OS, or a custom KIP to install this. Once installed, you can switch back to Atmosphere.

Purpose

• It enables your Switch to go online while worrying slightly less about a ban.
