I don't get much slowdown, lowest I've dipped in the opening areas was 45 or so FPS. Might be a hardware issue on your end.

Idk I run a 7 ryson 8 core and a 6600 with 32 ram I think the game isn't optimal for emulators yet it runs better on my v1 switch

Works great for me on Ryujinx. Can you make 120FPS and Ultrawide mods? Thank you

Just a reminder that there is a whole other thread for the emulator mod for this.

This thread is for Switch hardware.

Guys, i did it.
Just extract the files to your SD-Card, set FPS with FPS-Locker and you can play with 60 fps and normal game speed.
I oc´d my Switch Lite to:
CPU: 2295 mhz
GPU: 1305 mhz
RAM: 2366 mhz

Heavy undervolting with NX-Venom, around 55°C and around 35% Fan Speed.

Can this be done for other Pokemon titles? Your a GOD among men!

 

[Borsalino]

Anyone with Erista switches? What did you set on your CPU, GPU, RAM for OC?

 

[huduyu]

Can anyone tell OC setting with Erista ? Including undervolt setting please

Big thanks to @disterstift for making this possible.
Playing for the first 30min, currently sitting on 1228/768/2400 4-5W draw / lowest drop was 55fps

would it be possible to create a 120 fps version by chance? for those playing on pc or maybe 90?

now we need 1080p
or 4k mod
disable dynamic resolution

i just booted up the game still capped on 30 even with it on. i think im putting the mod in wrong. can you show me how you put yours in?

 

[LegendaryFish132]

Open the game's mod folder, create a folder with any name. I called it 60FPS. Inside that new folder, create another called exefs. Inside that, put the ips file inside.

after that what do i do inside ryujinx as it doesnt seem to want to work for me, keeps saying invalid memory region. ?

Move all emulator discussion to the appropriate thread. This is for real switch hardware only.

Wait for official release of the game

Btw: This mod it's Static FPS, not Dynamic.

by the 'game's mod folder' you mean one that we create right?

how did you get you overclock so high mine only goes up to 1785,,921,1600 on sys, clk

 

[AngelusKnight]

Using switch v1 here and yeah like someone mentioned here, it slow down to 30fps (but it feels slower than that) when you look at a place with many people and since I'm not using an OLED i can't go above 1600 RAM or 1785 CPU. Guess I'll wait for dynamic fps eventually, but this is pretty cool regardless so thanks.
