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.

Okay, now it works as it should.
But it requires SaltyNX update.

So ReverseNX-Tool 1.33 and ReverseNX 0.34 released.

ReverseNX-Tool now shows Red Screen of Death if SaltyNX was not injected properly.

Also now shows for currently running game what flag is in titleid folder

ReverseNX 0.34 has updated my SaltyNX fork to be compatible with RSoD. ReverseNX-Tool for any older versions of ReverseNX will show RSoD.

I just recently got this and when I launch the app, it says saltynx not injected but if I look in my sd card I see a folder of it and files. If it’s not injected does that mean no matter if I flag my system to docked or handheld it won’t make a difference.

Edit
Just noticed post above mine,I got this from the hb app store,so I know it’s up to date.

 

[masagrator]

Iirc hbstore doesn't have ReverseNX, only ReverseNX-Tool
So read readme.

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

And if it has, then it's not up to date

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

If it's not up-to-date, then it may be injected even if HB shows otherwise. You can check that by looking if log file is created in SaltySD folder

Just got the proper screen. I just ended up deleting the files and just got the proper files from yout link. Didn’t look at which version I really had but from what I seen, the hb app store didn’t download the kip or nsp file. using kip right now.

Hello, I have a switch fully updated with KOSMOS package.
@masagrator
My problem is that in TV output settings i'm stuck at 480p or automatic choices.
Is it possible to bypass this with this homebrew?
Possibly the chip was damaged, I still have to try to factory reset my switch..
Maybe you had someone with same problem..
I've tried many different docks, HDMI, tvs.. nothing.. switch is working only handled

Thanks for support

Hi guys !
Unfortunately I've find this thread, searching for a solution for my "Always stay in portable 480p" Switch too .
I know it's not very often problem, but there are many reported problems, which are exactly the same - Only "Automatic" and "480p" display options available, to choose from.
So just want to confirm that. Does anyone have experienced this problem ?
@masagrator Can you confirm that this homebrew will not have any effect ?
Thanks in advance !

Affirmative.
ReverseNX doesn't touch anything system and hardware related, so it can't do that.

ReverseNX-Tool 1.34 released

Added function that checks what CFW is used, so it won't show option for disabling cheats in SX OS and ReinX.

I didn't check it in ReinX, but it should work.

I was thinking about it from some time, but didn't know how to achieve it. Edizon source code showed me the way.

It injects itself to every currently working app which titleid is higher than 010000000000FFFF. So if you are using nsp forwarder for tinfoil, then yes - tinfoil may crash because of that. And I'm not willing to help in that matter.

Ok, I'm late to the game (31 pages of comments late) and trying to use this awesome tool on my SX OS modded Switch.
Yes I am guessing these questions have been answered, but I can't seem to find them after combing through many replies, so please help me out:

1. How do I install this app on my SX OS switch (just copy over the contents as mentioned - do I need to run an app?
2. Will it work automatically when I plug in my power adaptor?
3. Will it stop automatically when I unplug my power adaptor?
4. How do you know when it is running?
5. Do I need to restart it every time I power on my switch from a complete shutdown?

Thank you in advance for saving me a few more hours of reading!

 

[masagrator]

no technical support for all SX OS versions

 

[danswitch81]

That's super helpful. Thanks.
I mean, if you want people to use the tool you created, and I assume can answer the questions outlined, why wouldn't you? - Guess I'll just move on. No loss to you I know, but I would assume one would be proud of others to use their work.

 

[masagrator]

Because each SX OS version can screw up sysmodules. Until 2.9 it was not working because of no enough space, from 2.9 they have stolen PM submodule and we get more space for sysmodules. From 2.9.3 they added something that again takes space, so SaltyNX now in some configurations that worked on 2.9.2 is now not working And I can't check even exact source of issues, because it's closed source. I bringed support by compiling NSP, now SX should do something about not bloating memory with their stuff.

Thanks, that's actually much more helpful, sorry to hear about the headaches caused by SX OS. Guess it is safer to say it is incompatible with it at this stage...
Thanks for your hard work, I hope to be able to try it soon.

You have not updated it to latest version.

ReverseNX 0.34 has updated my SaltyNX fork to be compatible with RSoD. ReverseNX-Tool for any older versions of ReverseNX will show RSoD.

 

[Lyzard]

You have not updated it to latest version.

i already have ReverseNX-0.34 version. is there anything more ?

 

[masagrator]

a) what CFW are you using?
b) what sysmodules are you using?
c) have you restarted Switch?
