At this point, this seems to be more trouble than it's worth. Simple questions that require a yes/no reply get replied to with paragraphs upon paragraphs without the question actually being answered.
thousands of people have been using it for a long time. if you need support and have questions about installation and configuration - write to the telegram group, they will help you.

Updated the main post.
I have been testing it and it works fine, but I have encountered a bug, when I disable the cpu governance, if I try to re-enter sysclck, the switch crashes. It's not because of instability because in games the OC works without problems, it's only when trying to open sysclk from tesla that it crashes.

My switch is erista in 15.0.0 with clean atmosphere installation.

edit: it only happens in docked mode

It cannot reasonably come to gbatemp because the moderators have stated that the modified source code must be available. Not only is the source that this Cooler3D character touts as being available completely outdated and not a reflection of the current version but is almost impossible to obtain.

Why is that? Even if you wanted to obtain it, it's hosted on an unknown and suspicious looking cloud service as previously described. Said cloud service is slow, unreliable and has been intentionally flooded with garbage inflating the size to hundreds of thousands of files and tens of GB.

Anyone can verify this for themselves by visiting the service, or indeed by joining the telegram to see what Cooler3D has to say about this...

For example, just a day or two ago a user noted that they wanted to be able to compile the current modified packages used for 4IFIR for themselves.

The user's name has been removed for their modesty:

This user somehow finally managed to get the existing source a day or two later and mirrored it to google drive. In response here is some of what Cooler3D had to say about his sharing of modified open source code. These quotes are from today. For full disclosure I have only posted relevant parts of his reply, I could not reasonably post the rest of what he said as it is ten times as long as this and is mostly irrelevant ranting. To see the entire reply check it out for yourself on telegram.

There you have it, a complete admittal from Cooler3D that he breaks open license compliance, fully intends to keep the modified source code away from users and whatever actually is on the unknown cloud service is there for no other purpose than for him to be able to masquerade it as being available. You can see the utter disdain and hostility towards the spirit of the open source community and all the practitioners and users of open source projects from which this 4IFIR package has been assembled for yourselves.

In my opinion this is simply unacceptable behavior and an abhorrent attitude that should not be welcomed by anybody in the Switch community, developers or users alike.

Remember, everything I've posted is genuine, verifiable, based on fact and you can verify this for yourselves by visting the cloud service and telegram of 4IFIR.
This is not shocking at all tbh. Thanks for bring this info to the table. I agree with your opinion entirely. The behavior definitely isn't welcomed by most of the people that actually help the switch community move forward.

Tesla seems to crash often in Docked mode. This seems like a Tesla problem, which is affecting all CFWs.

Don't feed the graphomaniac OP, he does it all for the drama. I bet he enjoys it. I mean, he talks to himself in his diary, answering questions no one asked.

Nevertheless, 4IFIR works and works pretty well. The Russian install base is huge and I can't really see any issues with 4IFIR itself. The fact that the source code is obscured (can you even reproduce the latest release?) on purpose is the only fact that should be concerning. I'd say leave the guy alone so he can focus on the development. If you have any concerns, just ignore it.

Unfortunately yes. And it seems that this problem is deeper than it might seem at first glance. It is rooted in changes in the mechanism of allocated memory in the Atmosphere, and that, in turn, stems from changes in HOS16. This problem has always existed, it's just that earlier it was more difficult to triggering, but with HOS16 it became obvious.

I'll try to come up with something. It looks like I'm going to have to deal with this while members of the toxic discord community, offended by the disclaimer, try to come up with the most cringe insult.

I just came to say that I am really impressed by the performance of 4IFIR, fortunately my erista switch works with STAGE6+ and in handheld mode is able to handle 768mhz in GPU without the fan speeding up or the battery draining. In docked mode I'm using the maximum clocks possible and finally I can play bayonetta 3 with a good performance.

Thanks for your work and contribution to the community and don't let some stupid people demotivate you.

Hey Cooler, I asked you a question a few pages back, but didn't get a response, I figure it was overlooked with all the garbage that seems to accumulate in this thread from nonsense. If you could respond to my post, I'd appreciate it. I have re-posted it below:

"I'm quite impressed with what you have been able to do. Unfortunately, due to my limited understanding of the underlying hardware, I can't just read your code and understand how it works. How is it possible to squeeze so much extra performance per watt, which I think is an excellent metric to use, from the hardware? Is it some kind of JIT dynamic optimizer in addition to hardware overclocking? I figure it has to be more than just brute force OC since, in general one would see gains, but at the cost of performance per watt due to the asymptotic nature of the performance curve as it reaches maximum potential.

Any insight you can provide would be welcome."

I am quite interested in how you have managed to do this since it sorta breaks the normal rules of how performance gains work, so I would like to understand how it functions.

ooooh canceld?
The current release continues to be non-compliant with GPL and as such we can’t host it on our site. Cooler was reminded that hosting was (and continues to be) contingent on compliance with the letter of the law. Once the release is made compliant, we’re happy to host it once again. This was always the case.

But how could he possibly follow the law after someone was mean to him?

I’m not asking for the stars, I’m only asking for a release made in the exact same way as every other piece of open source software in the last two decades - binary + source code repository. It’s not a big deal, if personal gripes stand in the way of releasing this information publicly then we can’t host the content. I said as much last year and I’m saying the same thing now.

This is why we can't have nice things :<
