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!

Can you install both of them at the same time?

It’s not recommended

Recommended.. but possible? or is there no way to turn off one in the switch while it is being installed on the SD?

 

[cucholix]

First, I wouldn't do that. I can't say for 100% sure, but I'm guessing they'll just sort of go back and forth setting clock speeds if they're both active.

@Chrisssj2 it’s unknown if freebird or sys-clk take priority over the other. I guess it’s possible have them both active if you want.

To deactivate sys-clk simply rename the .ini file with NX-Shell, if you want deactivate freebird you can do that with the hbl app freeset iirc.

You mean the config.ini in the /config folder.
It doesn't require a switch reboot? is it checked upon launching an app or something?

 

[Chrisssj2]

When I go into freebird it says curren status: 0 cpu 0 gpu 0 ram. but i have the handheld mode active and im in handheld.. any idea?

You just need reboot once, then the sysmodule will run until you turn off the console, you don’t need reboot every time you change the .ini file.

If you are under atmosphere just reboot to payload inside hbl.

So the sysmodule is being run by this config.ini if no config.ini is found the sysmodule is disabled?

Correct

 

[SaffronXL]

If both Freebird and Sys-clk are enabled, it will freeze during boot on the "Switch" logo. Don't ask how I know...

I have the same exact problem.
I tried every mode nothing works. Did you fix it?

 

[Daniel_CC]

You have to download a 8.1.0 compatibility version of freebird, it is pages ago

Hi,

For firmware 8.01 I recompiled sys-clk without any restriction so it's possible to run nintendo Switch in handheld mode in any clock.

The package contains graphic editor for global settings and per game.

I'm not an author of any of this software and other great minds just created it for us.
I have just make some changes in code and recompile the source.

Please be noted I'm not responsible if you burn your console, responsibility it's in your hands.

Write an replay if it's working because I don't have time to compare screenshots.

I have a problem. I have updated my switch to 8.1 and my freebird doesnt show clockspeeds anymore.

At status it shows 0 MHz and the sync does nothing? It runs before till I get a critical error and freebird doesn’t work anymore.

So I cleaned my switch and update to 8.1 with the newest atmosphere.

Thx for help.

Did you try reading 1-2 pages back

I have seen this to late. With the „test“ version everything now works fine. Thx

Anyone test it ? It seem interesting, but it a new user and no code source given so...

It's legit, has per game settings for everything and no restrictions. Also has toggling options for enabling and disabling sys-clock/logging.

Freebird / Freeset are still my preference because the Freeset GUI is really clean and easy to navigate also I like that you can just quickly change the setting while playing just by navigating to the hbmenu. The test version in this post from the OP is working great for me on firmware 8.1.0 / atmosphere 0.9.2

I'll update it as soon as I can guys. If you just want 8+ support asap, you can pick up a newer testing version here. There might be a bug or two though, and it has no way of handling boost mode at the moment.

It's a simple 2 line edit, I tested it a several months ago and it works fine. I'd strongly recommend against using such a modification though.

Like ZachyCatGames sad I've just change a couple of lines of source code for those like me - I don't like restrictions.
