Plugin was integrated with SaltyNX 0.7.0! Separate plugin is not developed anymore, don't use it with newest SaltyNX!


Recorded video is broken on YT, but only purpose of this video is to show NX-FPS in work.
For actual gameplay you can skip to 5:04.

SaltyNX plugin that collects FPS data in Nintendo Switch games. You need my fork of SaltyNX installed.
https://github.com/masagrator/SaltyNX/releases

Put NX-FPS.elf to
Code: 
/SaltySD/plugins

Currently supported graphics APIs:
  • NVN
  • EGL
  • Vulkan

When game is booted, plugin outputs one file:
Code: 
/SaltySD/FPSoffset.hex

There is stored address, where you can find PFPS, FPS has address PFPS - 0x8

PFPS - Pushed Frames Per Second (u8), it counts how many frames were actually pushed to display in second that passed.
FPS - Frames Per Second (float) calculated from averaged frametime, refreshed with each new frame.
Click to expand...

If file is already there, it's rewritten by new address with each new game boot.

To show it on display, you can use Status Monitor Overlay >=0.4
https://gbatemp.net/threads/status-monitor-overlay-tesla-overlay-to-monitor-your-hardware.558505/

You can also make your own homebrew to use this plugin.

WARNING

Plugin brings some instability to boot process for some games. It is recommended to not close game before ~10 seconds have passed from showing Nintendo logo, otherwise you risk Kernel panic, which results in crashing OS.

---

Not working games and troubleshooting with this plugin you can find here:
https://github.com/masagrator/NX-FPS/blob/master/README.md

Thanks to:

- RetroNX channel for help with coding stuff,
- @CTCaer for providing many useful informations and convincing me to the end that I should target high precision,
- Herbaciarz for providing video footage.

If I Install everything for that and then Boot a game I get a black Screen and I cant do anything.

Edith: sorry, forgot. latest atmosphere, and FW 9.1.0.

I use Hekate as payload.
I had the Same problems before with reverseNX. I think it has to do with saltynx. When I deleted it, everything was working again.

i guess im too stupid...

Ok, I have to read. I "installed" the contents of kip.zip and nsp.zip on my sd card. I deleted the kip thingy. Now every game starts again but tesla isnt opening anymore. Even on homescreen.

Edit: I restarted the console. I can open tesla but when I click on status monitor, tesla closes and wont open again.

    NX-FPS 0.2 released.
    Added support for EGL, which means games like The Unholy Society and Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy are now supported.
