Network System Clock Abuse: Difference between revisions - SMO.wiki, the Super Mario Odyssey wiki

However, in order to connect the Switch to the Internet simply by disabling Airplane Mode, an Internet connection must have been established earlier. Normally, establishing an Internet connection would calibrate the NSC, which would defeat the purpose of NSCA since it requires the clock to be calibrated for the first time in the middle of the speedrun. To prevent the NSC from being calibrated when first setting up the Internet connection, one must temporarily block the server that the Switch communicates with to calibrate the NSC in their router's settings. This block must then be reversed later after enabling Airplane Mode, so that disabling Airplane Mode during the speedrun calibrates the NSC.

== Execution==

The trick can be performed in a speedrun using the following steps:

*Factory reset the console. This is done to allow the NSC to match the value of the LSC set by the user.

*Block the hostname aauth-lp1.ndas.srv.nintendo.net in your router's settings. This can be accomplished by following this [https://mashtips.com/block-websites-google-wifi/ guide] (which should be adaptable to any router, not just Google Wifi).

*Set up an Internet connection on the Switch by connecting it to that router, then enable Airplane Mode.

*Unblock the hostname in the router's settings by following the same steps used to block it.

*Set up [[Daylight Savings Time Abuse]] by setting the system clock to just before Daylight Savings Time strikes.

*Start the speedrun and play it as normal, using DSTA to grow the first seed.

*After planting a second seed later in the run, open the Switch's quick menu and disable Airplane Mode. This should cause the Switch to reconnect to the Internet, realize the NSC is behind, and fast-forward it accordingly.
