ReverseNX

Combination of SaltyNX patches that force games to think that you are using docked or handheld mode.

You can use it to change graphics settings and unlock some options that are available only in docked/handheld mode. For now in experimental phase, because SaltyNX has many bugs that need to be patched.

To download latest SaltyNX, check links at the end of post.

_____________

To use ReverseNX, you need to use ReverseNX-Tool which can be downloaded at the end of this post. Check readme in repo to learn how to use it.

When forcing docked mode, it is recommended to use OC settings exactly as used in docked mode:

handheld_charging_gpu=768
handheld_charging_mem=1600

______________

Known issues:

• SaltyNX is still under development, so it may cause issues on it's own. More in SaltyNX repo.

@masagrator it would be nice when we start a game ReverseNX would first check if a charging cable is plugged in, if yes use docked mode if no use handheld mode, I imagine a settings file similar to sys-clk

config.cfg
[0100E95004038000]
docked=docked
handheld_charging=docked
handheld_charging_usb=docked
handheld_charging_official=docked
handheld=handheld


In that way the most I would need to do when I'm suddenly on the go without charging is restart the game instead of closing the game, starting NXShell, renaming the docked.flag, starting the game


And a dream for the future would be a method to simulate docked <-> handheld mode while a game is already running, so the plugging in and unplugging file would make even more sense

 

[masagrator]

@Lyzing, I'll check it in the near future.

And about a dream - this is not possible with SaltyNX iirc (at least in current state).

I was playing darksiders on simulated docked and then the game crashed with a software error (not atmosphere error) and returned to horizon. I opened the game again and the docked mod was disable, so I think that maybe was a reverseNX fail.

Likely SaltyNX fault. In few days is coming a new revision, so stay tuned.

New release containing smaller plugin and newest build of SaltyNX.
Resolves many issues by blocking access to system apps and 32-bit apps.
Got confirmation that now it's working fine with EmuMMC 8.1.0 even for people who had issues with 0.2.
Still You need to use fusee-primary payload instead of Hekate Launch menu.

New bug came out with newest build of SaltyNX: if you have enabled cheats and cheats files for your booting game, OS will crash.
For EmuMMC (and maybe sysnand too): if You're using freebird, then OS can crash if you try to open hbmenu while running game (don't know if this was an issue with older releases).

Issue with Hekate will be probably resolved with update for Hekate.

SaltyNX in this package is using KIP and ELFs instead of exefs.nsp, so remember to delete folder 0100000000534C56 from titles.

Stay tuned for more fixes.
Thanks to shinyquagsire23 for taking his time to repair issues and @crow132 for help with tests.

The new version is working great. Does this new version still work with the game title.id's? I noticed this version is missing the the flags folder from the last version. So can i just add that folder or will it mess something up?

I just forgot to add folder. Titleid flag is still working.

I've updated 0.3 with flags folder and new ReverseNX with little fix to printing (it was showing GetOperationMode and GetPerformanceMode as 0, if it was using default settings. Now it doesn't print it when default settings are detected). It's only fix for log, so it was not worthy to make a new release.

Sorry but i cant do this work, im on EmuMMC 8.1.0, 0.3 ReverseNX and the switch crash with error code 2003-0008 (blue atmosphere screen) when i start a game (zelda, mortal kombat 11). Also, i use fusee-primary payload instead of Hekate Launch menu. Thanks

Do you have any cheats in titles?

Nope

0.3 doesn't work for me anymore. Games are launching but nothing change. Version 0.2 works fine. Using OFW 8.1.0 and Atmosphere 0.9.2

make sure you delete the old title folder 0100000000534C56 for ReverseNX if you have it

also I would recommend you to make a backup of your current sd card, remove your atmosphere and sept folders and start from 0 with a new one, that way you may remove any possible incompatibility

it should totally works for you since I have the exact same setup (8.1.0 EmuMMC with atmosphere) and it does work for me

 

[Daniel_CC]

i found the error, it was emuiibo sysmodule!

Have you restarted Switch, deleted folder from titles and put all files (kip and ELFs) correctly? Send me saltysd.log on DM (first delete it, restart Switch, try to run game and then send me it).

Yes. Sorry i cant send a DM, i post it here.

Something is blocking access to debug info. Try to delete whole atmosphere folder and put a fresh one (remember to make copy) with only ReverseNX 0.3

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

New revision of SaltyNX is using svc debug to block access to 32-bit apps and system apps, so it may be in the way of something using it too that was working in 0.2.

Thank you so much, sir! I deleted the folder and created a new one and the .log is now correct (I think, because it is larger, than before), and ReverseNX 0.3 now works! I found out what was causing the problem. This is latest sys-ftpd (titleid 4200000000000E). This is actually sad, because sys-ftpd is a really usefull tool and everything works with ReverseNX 0.2. Well, it's time to try something else, or I will use v0.2 )
Thanks again for this amazing tool!

Stick with 0.2. This is an issue that can be resolved. Just stay patient.

guys, this might be the stupidest question ever, but where do I download saltyNX from?

There is no release of it. Only git repo to compile by yourself.
