Hello! I have a V1 Patched Switch with 16.1.0 cfw 1.5.5
I noticed that games with cutscenes that utilize "videos" show green/glitchy screen while at it, and an extreme slowdown.
I can usually just skip these but it does lead to a slowdown so skipping the cutscenes would take 2-5 minutes.
the gameplay itself is unaffected. also, if the cutscene is rendered real-time, it does not do the green/glitchy screen.
Also, I cannot play clips that I recorded in the gallery. it just stays on a black screen.
I tried sending these clips to my smartphone and they play just fine.

What I already tried:
-updating cfw, hekate, etc.
-replacing the sd card

maybe y'all have insights about this? please let me know.

Hey!

No, it's not an OLED model. just V1.
Yes, sometimes solid green color, sometimes a few pink and green glitchy artefacts.

you think so? I am only facing this problem on cutscenes. gameplays are otherwise smooth. I can even overclock without facing any graphical issues (not that I intend to overclock).

those artefacts are most likely to come from the SoC or the RAM you could try to reflow them with a solder iron

and yes at the moment it will be just at cutscenes but it will worsen over time
if youre not sure then you could try to put other video files on your switch but those will probably give you also a blackscreen

my personal hunch your videoencoder in the tegra chip is busted since this only appears when youre watching video files and non real time cutscenes

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
