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

From what I know some settings in hekate configs may freeze booting.

Edit hekate_ipl.ini and delete
Code:
atmosphere=1
try again

i have another question if you dont mind, how will apply oc in docked.flag mode?

tried playing mk11, i notice drop in framerate.

So do I need to have my switch plugged in to charge to make this work?
Yes, at least for most games, some lower end games also work with the 460mhz OC on the GPU

You can also use a power bank to still be somewhat portable with docked graphics

Since it's possible to do this, would it possible to also enable video capture in any game?
Nope.

mine freezes on lockscreen, after deleting
atmosphere=1

i thinks this plugin is causing some issues with hecate..
Try to update to the newest version. I've tried hekate 5.0.1 with only
Code:
lss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
under profile and it's working.

that's a shame. Hope someone figures it out someday. It'd be really cool. But this is amazing. I have a 720p monitor so having the option for handheld graphics in TV makes some games look way cleaner.

so the main benefit of this is for those that play in handheld mode while plugged in to get tv mode graphics without being hooked up to a tv?. do a lot of games play noticeably worse in handheld mode vs docked? i mostly play in handheld mode but usually in bed by an outlet, wondering if Im missing out on playing games in lower quality. the times that i use docked mode are for games i only play docked like super smash bros (too small to play with friends on the screen especially when zoomed out)

There are games like Xenoblade Chronicles 2, God Eater 3 or Lethal League Blaze that got significant quality boost in docked mode. If you see a game that looks bad in your opinion, you can use this to check how better would be your experience with docked graphics settings.
