There is no release of it. Only git repo to compile by yourself.

ah ok it needs compiling. I'll have a look and see if I can make it work then, thanks!

P.S. I have no idea how to do that for the switch, so any help would be appreciated

There are tutorials on gbatemp, but I prefer for Windows using WSL (Windows 10 stuff) now than cygwin thanks to latest updates making it more reliable.

Install Ubuntu from Microsoft Store
Run it, configure and update with

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If it will ask for accepting, press Y and enter.
Then paste this

Code:

wget https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/download/devkitpro-pacman-1.0.1/devkitpro-pacman.deb
sudo dpkg -i devkitpro-pacman.deb

When it Ask you about what package you want to install, write

Code:

switch-dev

And two times enter.

After installing just go to folder with files you want to compile where is "makefile", delete path from file explorer, write

Code:

bash

Press enter, in window write

Code:

make

For compiling
And

Code:

make clean

For deleting stuff made after compilation (final output is not always deleted).

Can someone please explain to me how to get the title id to work? (Using Smash Bros ( 01006A800016E000) as an example.) I have tried but cant seem to get it to work.

1. From what i understand i put the titleid.flag in saltysd/flags/ReverseNX folder. (Should i actually use the game id or a file named titeid.flag?

2. Then put files in saltysd/plugins/(title_id)/ReverseNX?

So for #2 do i use the titeid for a game (example Smash Bros is 01006A800016E000) so i make a file with that title id and put docked.flag or handheld.flag at the end? (like 01006A800016E000.docked.flag ?)

Has anyone got this working that can help me out please? Thanks for any help.

1. saltysd/flags/ReverseNX/titleid.flag
2. saltysd/plugins/01006A800016E000/ReverseNX/docked.flag

They are exact names. No hidden meaning.

I followed everything but I never got asked if I wanted to install the switch-dev package? I’ve tried the whole procedure twice , but it never asked for some reason

masagrator · Jul 23, 2019

Then write

Code:

sudo dkp-pacman -S switch-dev

and enter twice

Didn't realise that your release was pre compiled anyway ahaha.

I've managed to do it though and learnt something new, thanks!

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

Just tested it with Final Fantasy XII and it works just fine, it actually switches flawlessy between docked and handheld when the charger is plugged/unplugged (obviously oc is configured with sys-clk).
Running Atmosphere 0.9.2 on 8.1.0 with emuMMC and fusee-primary payload

Botw and Xeno2 for some reason both crash at launch though

My guess - you have cheats for this games or some sysmodule. Try to delete cheats folder from them.

And I didn't implement checking if it's charging, so you are thinking wrong. It's applying code only when game is booting.

And you were right as usual !

I think it does work you know?
FF12 runs at 900p in docked mode, and 568p (or something like that) in handheld, so it’s quite the noticeable difference, and I can guarantee that when I unplug the charger it goes down instantly.

I know it’s not the game doing it because I’ve tried removing ReverseNX and restarting the console and it stays constantly in 568p, charger or no charger.

Could it be that all the console is doing is switching between docked and handheld as a byproduct of your plugin?

If you're using the suggested settings with sys-clk, the gpu clock will decrease when unplugged/increase when plugged.

masagrator · Jul 23, 2019

So game is adapting to change in clocks (going down with resolution). It's not because of my plugin.

Tried it and sadly no it wont let you play on TV with joycons removed since while it does think its in handheld it still sees you having detached the joycons.

Would need another plugin that tells the switch the joycons are attached when they are not.

Thank you for the answer, I was going to set this up just to test Pokemon lol, hopefully someone makes a work around soon

F. Lobot · Jul 24, 2019

So... can this be used to output to the TV while playing in handheld mode? Could it display simultaneously on the screen and the TV? Is recording Mario Maker editing the right way finally possible?

1.No,
2. no,
3. don't know what you mean, but probably no.

This is something that cannot be achieved by editing game code.

For easier management you can use now ReverseNX-Tool - my first homebrew.
At this moment only global flags are supported.

github repo: https://github.com/masagrator/ReverseNX-Tool
Releases: https://github.com/masagrator/ReverseNX-Tool/releases

And 0.31 update released preventing SaltyNX from crashing if other sysmodule is blocking access to svcGetDebugEventInfo at system boot (f.e. sys-ftpd).

Weysincha · Jul 24, 2019

Hello,

i have one question. Is it possible with ReverseNX to play Pokemon Lets Go on TV but with an Gamepad like in Handheld mode?
