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.

I'm not accustomed with kips loading in reinx.

Quote from reinx FAQ

What are sysmodules (.kip)?
Sysmodules are the modular portion of ReiNX that allow for extra features not found in the original release such as enabling system-wide FTP, or Discord rich presence. They come in .kip format, and can be found in the /ReiNX/sysmodules/ folder.

if I load the hekate payload and press start it says"no main boot entries found..
And I always used reinx so..
No one in this topic succesfully used it for reinx?

Finally got it to work.. Ughh.
I see about zero difference in xenoblade 2 honestly. I know for sure docked mode is on because it tells me something about the controllers at startup.

LoL docked mode is even more slow then handheld mode. using sysclk now for overclock.

Only thing I may have noticed is the shader/reflection on the charachters might be a bit better? not sure though.

 

[masagrator]

Are you sure you are not using this mod?

Difference should be pretty obvious because of sharpening filter used in handheld.

I am not using that mod never knew it excisted. Am I still suppose to use that, or does reverseNX do it's job?

ReverseNX should be enough, but this mod can apply smoother graphics without increasing resolution and requirements for power.

Interesting. and you would still use the docked flag with it? I do see in your topic that it has SSAO, lense flare depth of field and other things off, shouldn't these be on?

No, because 540p was enough for me. Only OC to 460 Mhz GPU and MEM to 1600 for managing to be in this resolution most of the time (it can drop to 378p even with default settings).
If they turned it off, they could have a reason for it. These effects are not working or are not optimized well. You can test it as you wish.

How do you know what res the game is using, are you taking screenshots with left joycon then checking what the res is at or?

In this case just Digital Foundry analysis.

After update atmosphere i got " elf load failed with d001" in the log file

You have too much sysmodules. You need to delete something.

i have deleted everything and copy kosmos back , now it doesn't even create log file anymore, and its not working in game

 

[masagrator]

And you deleted also ReverseNX or you're using Hekate Launch menu and didn't write kip1 to config file.

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

And kosmos is full of sysmodules, so it's very easy for SaltyNX to broke. f.e. emuiibo is known from crashing system if it's next to ReverseNX.

Yeah i use hekate launch option , if i boot using fusee then its working
What to write in config file to make it works with hekate launch

Hekate Launch menu for now is not supported, because for most people ReverseNX brakes with it. CTCaer already knows issue and patch may be released in next version of Hekate.
you can just add

kip1=atmosphere/kips/*

under your launch config in hekate_ipl.ini

First of all I wanted to say that it is the best tweak so far for the nintendo switch. Thank you!

I would like to know two things.
If the switch is flagged as docked, why then do not work tv settings in the menu —> Full rgb etc.
The switch is telling that ist must plugged to a tv. And ingame, it shows the normal handheld controller settings.

The Resolution is miles better than only handheld mode. But i dont know if this is because of OC or because the switch is thinking its docked...

And One other thing. @masagrator
Is it possible to create a tweak or sysmodule to inject screen settings for The switch Display? Contrast, colors, Night mode and Maybe some blur to fight against jaggys in games.

Thx for your work

This plugins forces GAMES to think it's docked. System is untouched because it's using different methods to have informations about what mode is used right now and touching system apps makes OS unstable, so SaltyNX blocks access to systemapps.

Maybe, but I'm not a right person to answer this question. This will need mitm which is more demanding in programming skills - something like shaders in game emulators.

Thx for answer.
How much effort is needed to make the system thinking its docked? So we have the Option to change the rgb levels —-> better contrast after all.

Thx
