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

Me neither. Seems you can only increase the cooling curve, but not decrease it
Whats bothering for me is when I docked it for real the fan only goes around 60% even the temp is between 60c-65c. I even tried using/activating only sys clk and overclock to max but never go over 60% fan speed with temp 55c. But when i use reversenx with docked flag/mode it goes to 100% even the temp is only like 52c.

Yes because though ReverseNX makes the game think it's running in Docked, it can't do the same to the fan. And the fan is setup to run at 100% whenever it reaches 55+ C in handheld. But in docked the fan is designed to run at 65% when it reaches 60 C

Yes - use fricking OC as stated in first post.

Sorry im newbie at these things,

i've used this tool before and it was working perfectly fine. then today i updated my system to 10.0.3. then installed latest versions of Reinx, sys clk, SaltyNX 0.3.1a, ReverseNX-Tool 2.0.0, everything seems fine when i launch the Reverse NX but even if i switch to docked mode, nothing changes in the game. it was working completely fine before.
Sorry for asking but do i need to delete tinfoil to use this tool ?

First I want to thank you for your work. Thanks to you we can enjoy "switch pro" before even Nintendo announced it . The only bad thing of using it is fan speed, even after I changed thermal paste and add some thermal pads in most demanding games fan still spinning about 80% even though the GPU and Soc temperatures are below 52 degrees. Script that you posted few post above is about Switch skin temperature not about GPU that why they not working . So maybe there is a similar script for GPU?

There is no separate GPU. GPU and CPU are merged to SoC.

Sorry you have right I thought about pcb and Soc temperatures . So even if we change "tskin_rate_table_console" this not gonna work because Soc and pcb have higher temperatures than skin. So maybe there is similar command for pcb ?
From my observation fan start spinning significant faster when pcb have above 51 degrees. Thing is that the air is not even hot when fan spinning about 80%. In Diablo 3 for example fan speed is 30% and blow hot air but temperature not going higher than 49 degrees.

Guys, can I have a noob question? Is this homebrew work on SX OS? I've tried but I couldn't see the difference in Xenoblade Chronicle DE :(

So my system crashes when I try to use sys-clk from overlay with saltynx. But I'm not using the latest version of sys-clk, but a moded one with no limit overclock in handheld. But I guess updating to official latest version will help, but still there is that

UPD: even with official sys-clk overlay still crashes the system
