ReverseNX - Flag your console as handheld or docked

Daniel_CC · Jul 25, 2019

Thanks for this tool, dude

Works with Fire Emblem TH v1.0.0

Guys this mod just does the tv resolution but not changing the clocks? I just installed and activated docked. Did nothing else. It works, games think they are running docked. But the problem is, for example Unravel Two has a graphics options (quality/performance) for docked mode. When I activate ReverseNX, Unravel Two opens its graphics setting as it thinks running docked. But when I select quality, frame rate dops dramatically. Way below than 30 FPS.

So when we activate ReverseNX, the Switch still runs at default handheld clocks but trying to games run docked quality? Or it is also changing its clocks to docked default clocks?

I mean should I change the clocks manually?

Did you read first post or readme on github?

Code:
For docked flag is recommended to use OC settings exactly as used in docked mode:

Code:

handheld_charging_gpu=768 handheld_charging_mem=1600

So no - it doesn't change clocks.

Oh sorry. So I have to change the clocks. By using sys-clk, right? (Since Freebird does not work on 8.1.0)

masagrator · Jul 25, 2019

sys-clk is recommended, as freebird is not perfectly supported atm.

Tugay · Jul 26, 2019

Thank you much for the info and this great homebrew!

If you're like me - someone who, as of 7/26/2019, very recently hacked their Switch for the first time by following one of the main contemporary guides to install the latest Atmosphere FOR EMUNAND/EMUMMC on 8.1.0 firmware - then I might be able to help you with some basic questions if you reply to this post, so feel free. If I can't help you, then you'll likely find help from others in this thread.

@NextChallenger I need now to clarify some things you've written.

This plugin does not 'need' SaltyNX, it's based on SaltyNX, so you don't need to hunt that down, it's 'included'.

It's included in release, repo doesn't include it. And it's not based on SaltyNX, but SaltyNX "SDK" sort of. I can't do more than SaltyNX offers (f.e. no access to hid or pdm).

(make sure that you also copy and paste the ReverseNX.elf file to the saltysd/plugins/[YOUR GAME'S TITLE ID HERE, NO BRACKETS]/ReverseNX/ folder before moving on)

Why? SaltyNX reads plugins from two locations - plugins and plugins/(titleid)
It won't even read from your location.

ReverseNX.elf in only plugins is enough and less compilcated. titleid.flag doesn't change that

I use freebird in order to overclocking my switch over 460mhz, and all is right, even I don’t consider that the switch get hot and the fans aren’t noisers

did you try going into hbloader (gallery) while running freebird and reversenx?

does it crash for you?

Yes, it crash, just close the game and change the frecuency or set it before launch the game

It is really great tool. It shines with sys-clk. I have played hours of Zelda and Unravel 2 today with official charger plugged. Amazing visuals and performance. I can't believe that a mobile device does that kind of things. And this is the reason why I upset for the people who don't/can't use CFW on their Switchs. This is how you get "the most out of it" from a device you owned.

Thank you guys deeply. We couldn't possibly experience these things without you.

CTR (Atmosphere 0.9.2)

I am not an expert, I think i did something wrong but not sure what.

So you're doing something wrong.

https://github.com/masagrator/Rever...s=&labels=&template=bug_report.md&title=[BUG]
delete saltysd.log from saltysd folder, restart switch, try to run game again and attach saltysd.log to issue

shinx · Jul 26, 2019

It's working now, thanks.

Thank you for your corrections! Sorry for forcing you to correct me, lol. I'm always wary to post such things when my understanding is incomplete, but I threw caution to the wind here, and while I've clarified that my post is only for people who are in my exact Switch hacking situation, I should have sent my post over to you for permission and corrections, first.

The first bit was an awkwardly-phrased segment addressing a rather naive question that both I and another user in this thread had, about whether we needed to use ReverseNX with some plugin called 'SaltyNX' - the result of a misunderstanding. I was nipping that misunderstanding in the bud, and have edited that line so that it serves that purpose better.

--edited out some fud here--

Hell, if you'd rather me just remove the whole post so that I don't contribute to any confusion moving forward, I'd be amenable to that, just say the word. I don't want to step on your toes here, you're the real MVP. And thanks for this tool, by the way, it's fantastic and I'm getting a lot of milage out of it with games like Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Breath of the Wild, and Mario Odyssey.

No?
It's in the saltysd/plugins
