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

And no hekate?
Then I can't help, because your post evidently lacks some info and I won't guess what you have. If you have copied everything correctly, then in this configuration you have provided it should work.

Can someone link me the saltynx version needed for latest reversenx release? I updated reversenx through HBAS but not sure if it install saltynx too...

I have RSoD when open reversenx manager, it says saltySD is not injected but my games are applying reversenx just fine...

Thanks

Sorry, i am not very familiar with all these "sys modules" terms. That's why my information lacks a bit.

Yes, i have hekate - CTCaer mod v5.1.1. injecting this payload.
can you please check this link to see my root and switch folder?

If you are using "Launch" menu, not "Payloads" in hekate, then:
  • You need to have at least Hekate 5.0.2 if you don't want issues related to Hekate (if you use KIP rememeber to add to hekate_ipl.ini under your config line
    Code:
    kip1=atmosphere/kips/*
    ).

@cucholix then don't use hb appstore, I'm not supporting it. And already someone had issues with it, downloading from my github page resolved problem.

Already replaced all the files except my exception list and my game folders in saltynx and it still show red text.

I’m using clean atmosphere.

OK. Some feedback here if someone's wondering.

I tried with docked.flag on handheld mode with maximum values (1785/921/1600) in two games and here are results and my thoughts :

Fire Emblem Three Houses :
-Game and texts are very sharp compared to standart handheld resolution. And i don't see much fps difference when its plugged to charger or not. maybe only 4-5fps when its unplugged. The game is already locked to 30fps. But i can hear fan voice is very loud especially when its plugged to charger. and the temperature is around 50C when i check it on album page. i don't know if its dangerous or not.

SNK heroines tag team frenzy :
Now this is a completely different experience. Normally this game has stable 30fps in battles, both handheld and docked. But here are my OC results;

-With maximum values on sys-clk with handheld.flag (1785/921/1600) the game jumps to stable 60FPS in battles and character customization in HANDHELD mode. EVEN without charger (yeah i know GPU is not working at 921 without charger) This is nearly a perfect experience.
-If you pick docked.flag with handheld mode, the game is MUCH more sharp and beautiful but FPS drops to 30. If you have a charger, you get some FPS boost (maybe 40-45 in battles, and 55-60 in some arenas with less animation). It's still a good if you don't like blurry 720p resolution.


and for @masagrator :
i dont know about other games but SNK heroines tag team frenzy is definitely recognizes when you plug and unplug a charger in middle of the game. You can clearly see massive FPS increase immediately after you connect the charger. the problem is, i dont know if its dangerous or not to play with these values in handheld mode while plugged to charger. i can hear a loud fan and it scared me a bit :)

Since I can't run Tinfoil if ReverseNX is installed, I was wondering if it's possible to add it to the exceptions?

why can’t run? Is it shutting down immediately? If so, just disable reversenx completely and it works. After you done with tinfoil, just enable it again.

Thanks for the amazing tool!!
Every time i try to start my Super Mario Odyssey my atmosphere gives an error and reboots.
Anyone has an idea why? It seems to be the only game doing it
