This is a port of the Ascension Mod by vanbuinen for the Switch.

Link to the Mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/darksoulsremastered/mods/166

INSTALLATION:

You need a custom firmware for this mod to work (SXOS or Atmosphere).
Place the folder from the archive into the following folder from your SD card:

/atmosphere/titles/
/sxos/titles/

It should end up like this:

/sxos/titles/01004AB00A260000/romfs/dvdbnd0.bdt


You are all set! Just launch the game from the custom firmware.

If you want to disable the mod, hold X while launching the game (SXOS) or rename the files to something else.

Only tested with SXOS but it should work with any CFW with LayeredFS support.


This is NOT my mod, I just ported it.

Big thanks to Meowmaritus for the .msb tool and @horkrux for tweaking it.


UPDATE: Character creation menu now working!

UPDATE #2: - Fixed DLC (Weapons, Armor, bosses, warps and place IDs)

- Ascended Mod v5.5 Added

UPDATE #3: - Ascended Mod v8.1 Added

UPDATE #4: - Ascended Mod v12.1 Added

It would be nice to have only files that needs to be replaced in dvdbnd0.bdt. I'm using Polish subtitles mod with HQ audio, both are in this file.

Polish translate mod isn't compatible with this mod, I'll upload the dvdbnd1 with the HQ audio.

Edit: Updated! Added HQ audio patch

I'm going crazy trying to get this working!
I'm on 8.1.0 Atmosphere Emunand. My sysnand is 9.0.
I tried it with just the 4 main mod files as well as with the audio patch.
The 4 mod files are in
/atmosphere/titles/01004AB00A260000/romfs/
I recently installed the No Blur patch for Zelda as well as the Witcher 3 extra menu options mod without issue.
I double checked my Dark Souls Title ID in tinfoil and it is indeed 01004AB00A260000
My Dark souls is updated to the latest 1.03 patch as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thats wierd, seems like you got it right.. As I said, this was only tested with SXOS but that shouldnt be the problem. I'll post an update later today with the character creation menu working. Stay tuned and check if that works for you.
EDIT: Did you actually start the game? Or did you just get to the creation menu?

Lol oh ok I guess it was working the entire time. I kept getting to the class screen, seeing that it was unchanged, and thinking that it wasn't working. Thanks for the reply and the amazing port! :D

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.

    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
