ReverseNX - Flag your console as handheld or docked

ReverseNX_logo_transparent_v4.png

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:
Code:
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.
______________

Thanks to @Kirby567fan and @crow132 for testing.
To @RattletraPM for logo.
To @SunTheCourier for sys-clk Editor on which I have based ReverseNX-Tool >=2.0.0
To Borealis contributors for Borealis which I'm using from 3.0.0

Well, then you are on your own.

Thank you for the perfect work but I saw that you don't support the forks. Don't you support the new Tinfoil fork too? Tinfoil, sys-clk and ReverseNX are my favourites so far. I don't want to lose any of them.

No. I just blacklisted all titleids above game titleids range, in which Tinfoil also exists, but not only. So it's ignoring Tinfoil.

Sorry but I am a noob so I don't understand what you mean. Simply, is there any way that I can use the hbg shop and reversenx both?

But why would you do that? Homebrew is not using Nintendo SDK, so it won't work anyway.

I was using ReverseNX + sys-clk and Hbg Shop both two weeks ago, I love to use them both. I don't understand anything you say technically but it's sad that I have to give up one of them.

Tl;dr
It was never working with Tinfoil in the way it should.
Doesn't matter what you thought or saw. This is one and only truth.

I mean, when I was using the an old version of Atmosphere Tinfoil fork, I could use both of them separately. I could download games, dlc's and updates from the shop, and I could use the handheld console as docked. That was the ideal situation and I didn't need anything else. But I needed to upgrade both Atmosphere and SaltyNX. And you said that it won't work with the latest Atmosphere Tinfoil fork anymore and I didn't try.

Dig old stuff, not even try if it's still true or not, complain = profit?
I'm not wasting my time anymore.
If you want to continue shitposting, start from - i don't know - maybe actually trying stuff?

I am not complaining, I thank you for your work, I am just asking you just a simple thing and I don't know what you are talking about shitposting. I am just a noob who actually only cares about downloading playing the fucking games with a fucking good performance. When it comes to the technical stuff, I am not smart ass as you guys. Just asking if both of them are contradicting or not. I can't understand you and I don't know what is the problem with you.

Hey, when I use ReverseNX and change a game profile to docked while charging in handheld, and oc the system to Docked frequencies, the fan runs at 100%. But when I I'm actually using Docked, my fans never go above 60% usage.
What's happening I think is for Handheld, the permisible temperature is upto 50 C but for Docked, it's upto 60-61. Though ReverseNX is telling the system to believe it's Docked, I don't think the fan is following that.

Can it be fixed? Thanks

Hi @masagrator , I really appreciate the things you are doing for NS

I think that i have a problem. When i plug the switch all its ok, i have the same values that you put in the tutorial, but my fan is always at 100%, in any game, so I think something is wrong, like my Switch is working in Handled mod with 768mhz for gpu and 1600mhz for ram, and not in Dock . Sorry its my english is bad, but I didnt practice since 4 years. Thanks!

PD: I got the solution, i download ReverseNX, and then i saw that is was out.

GUYS, JUST DONWLOAD SALTY NX AND REVERSENX-TOOL!!!!!!! now my fan is run ok!!!
I just tried with Xenoblade 2 and i want to say OMG, what a difference, thx for this masagrator
In The Witcher 3, my fans go to 100%, someone have the problem? or its normal?

"System"?

Where is your "system"?

You need to change fans manually in system_settings.ini in Atmosphere to match docked mode fan profiles.

PS. Gbatemp notification system is broken again. I got no notification from this topic.

Some games that require low power doesn't face that problem. What happens is the fan is set to keep the temperature at 50 C in handheld and 60 C in docked. When you run at docked settings in handheld, the fan thinks the temperature shouldn't be more than 50.That's why it goes all out at 100%

[tc]
; tskin_rate_table_console = str! "[[- 1000000, 40000, 0, 0], [36000, 43000, 51, 51], [43000, 53000, 51, 153], [53000, 58000, 153, 255], [58000, 1000000, 255, 255]] "
; tskin_rate_table_handheld = str! "[[- 1000000, 40000, 0, 0], [36000, 43000, 51, 51], [43000, 48000, 51, 102], [48000, 53000, 102, 153], [53000, 1000000, 153, 153], [48000, 1000000, 153, 153]] "

[tc]
; tskin_rate_table_console = str! "[[- 1000000, 40000, 0, 0], [36000, 43000, 51, 51], [43000, 53000, 51, 153], [53000, 58000, 153, 255], [58000, 1000000, 255, 255]] "
; tskin_rate_table_handheld = str! "[[- 1000000, 40000, 0, 0], [36000, 43000, 51, 51], [43000, 53000, 51, 153], [53000, 58000, 153, 255], [58000, 1000000, 255, 255]] "

Remove semicolons and space after them

Code:
[tc]
tskin_rate_table_console = str!"[[- 1000000, 40000, 0, 0], [36000, 43000, 51, 51], [43000, 53000, 51, 153], [53000, 58000, 153, 255], [58000, 1000000, 255, 255]]"
tskin_rate_table_handheld = str!"[[- 1000000, 40000, 0, 0], [36000, 43000, 51, 51], [43000, 53000, 51, 153], [53000, 58000, 153, 255], [58000, 1000000, 255, 255]]"

And restart Switch.
