Homebrew Question [HELP] My nintendo switch cannot connect to TV - ONLY 480p option

[miloita]

Hi all,
I've a modded switch, latest fw with KOSMOS

When I go in settings, tv output, the only options I see are 480p and auto.
I tried different docks (original and not) and different tv, but none are working.

Please can you help me solve this problem?
In case, is there any other way to connect switch to TV?
Maybe some homebrew app that can override the settings ?

I'm only playing handled, but it's a shame for big games such as BOTW...

Thanks to anyone who will have a suggestion / solution.

Milo

Do you have a modded switch (sx os or any other cfw)

I've atmosphere, installed through KOSMOS package without any issue..
But also if I go to normal fw (no cfw) I see this problem for output TV..do you have any idea?

or you can try another hdmi cable first i would do that i hope this helps a bit

I saw this.. But I have no knowledge for making such fix..
If it is hardware I've no chance.

I was wondering maybe somebody bypassed the need of a docked and found another way for TV output

You can stream your switch to pc if that helps sorry idk what else to tell you

Put it on Auto and dock it see if it pick up the rest.

 

[miloita]

I repeat that I've tried already many docks, monitors and hdmi of course.

How can I stream it to pc? Could be interesting

I've read about this issue before. It could be that either the dock or console is faulty. I recommend if you have a nand backup is to restore it. Or try things below that other forums said may fix issue.

.Try different hdmi port
.Try different TV.
.Try different hdmi cable
.Factory reset
.Try different dock

@miloita
Never use the switch with a non-original dock. Due to Nintendo using its own proprietary usb protocol but behaving like usb pd (power delivery) and the fake docks do follow its specifications, the switch gets in some circumstances too much power thus frying a specific chip which is responsible for outputting the videosignal.
Almost all problems with the switch not working in dock mode is because of that.
The chip in question is "M92T36".

What you can try is to factory reset the console. There seems to be cases where it was just a software problem and that fixed it.

Thank you all for replies..
Given that I've tried everything but the factory reset.. I'm not really capable of doing such things. In fact I bought the switch already modded.

What I'm searching is the best way to stream it to pc through typec cable, as probably it's a hardware problem..

So do you know the best homebrew app to stream it? With as little delay lag as possible?
Thanks

There is currently no homebrew app that can do this.
Switch OS (horizon) has a really strict and complicated security. Running such a homebrew app will cause massive performance and compatibility issues with games (lag and high latency included).
Even if thats doable the switch would have to compress and record video, audio and input (bi-directional) at the same time and send it as a stream through the usb port. Due to the limited bandwidth and ressources the switch has you would have a really crappy picture and most likely input lag in hundreds of msec.

Do you have that hack that triggers the docking mode while undocked?

 

[miloita]

I saw such homebrew for faking the docked mode.. Would this solve my problem?

Yes. If you do, disable it. Pronto!

 

[miloita]

Yes. If you do, disable it. Pronto!

Can you be more precise?

 

[eyeliner]

How much more precise? If you have that particular software, try do disable any settings it had changed.

I can't explain it further, I'm afraid...

Aaah sorry.. I haven't this software. I read about it and I was thinking of using it to solve my problem.. But I don't know if this will be correct way..

Won't hurt to try, my friend.
