Freebird - Switch Clock Speed Control Sysmodule

This is a sysmodule/service for Atmosphere and ReiNX that uses IPC's to communicate with its companion NRO, Freeset. This allows you to use any clock speed I've found on the Switch. The only restriction I have put in place is that you must be plugged into an official charger or docked if you are crazy enough to want to use the highest two GPU clock speeds. I am leaving it completely up to you to choose what clock speeds you want to use. Be careful.

Intructions:
  • Atmosphere: Copy over the contents of the zip and reboot your system to load the module. Open Freeset and use that to send over the clock speeds you want.
  • ReiNX: Create a folder in your ReiNX folder named titles if there isn't one. Copy the titles folder from the atmosphere folder to ReiNX/titles. Open "010000000000C235" and move the boot2.flag to the same directory as the exefs.nsp file. Reboot and freebird should now be working on ReiNX.

X turns freebird's clock setting feature on and off. Remember to turn this off before putting your system to sleep. I'm working on it™, but it will cause and require you to fully shutdown and restart your Switch if accidentally left on. When on, freebird will check and set the clocks if they don't match what you choose. When turned off, your clock speeds will be reset and no longer forced.

A sends over the clock speeds shown/chosen from the menu. Up and down change the currently selected option, left and right change speed.

If I missed anything, don't be afraid to ask. I'm open to suggestions too.

I'd like to thank @taggen86, @nabelo, @mathew77, @vanraz86, and @Kirby567fan for taking the chances and testing it. Thanks guys!

Same, patiently waiting for support. I know 8.0.1 has a "boost mode" but constant overclocking is the way forward!

The boost mode only works for loading screens and only works with a couple of games. Way different things. So yep, waiting for a Freebird update patiently as well.

Has anyone tried the test version?
Works great, played a bit of BotW with everything on max OC in Handheldmode with official charger.
The difference in Korok Forest is incredible, noticable bump in resolution and zero framedrops.

The Switch locks up when I try to load up Homebrew Channel while playing though.

the only change you need to make for that game is to set mem to 1600mhz... everything else makes no difference

I don't know how to turn it on .. is it an app in homebrew menu ? I put 010000000000C235 in ReinX title folder with flags folder and exefs.nsp

What should I do next ?
