Hardware Did anyone ever tried a RAM upgrade on the switch?

[ZachyCatGames]

Do you know why I can boot only after fusse-primary? Then I can reboot to payload (hekate) and fss0 boot passes without any problems.

Fusee-primary shouldn’t work at all, I think?
So idk, I’ll try myself in a bit I guess.

Cold booting my build of AMS with my build of hekate (via fss0) works fine here.

Wow, you guys really went ahead and did it.

I have been away for some time, but I'm impressed with the advancements.

Good job.

I haven't had the money to get my OLED's ram upgraded just yet sadly. Eventually I will get the emmc and ram upgraded, but for now the new modules will just have to sit and wait.

Here is a pre compiled hekate + ams with 8gb support

Hello, sir.

I'd like to build the latest version of hekate + ams myself, and I was wondering if you could tell me where to modify to make it support 8GB?

A patch file would be helpful !

u32 fuse_read_dramid(bool raw_id)
{
    return 28;
}

For AMS i don't have the files but you need to change this if remember correctly:
https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/At...source/smc/secmon_smc_info.cpp#L145C9-L145C39

https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/At...ies/libexosphere/source/fuse/fuse_api.cpp#L75

You can wait i will post latest AMS when stable release is available

AMS 1.6.2 with 8GB support

Thank you so much!

With my shallow knowledge..
I'll try to think of some code to load the ram size dynamically, not hardcoded.

 

[ObtuseAcute]

I did it. Replaced 2GB ram chip with 3 GB. Tried to rebuild atmosphere 0.15 forced to 6GB but no luck.

Any update on thing

 

[Ryab]

From what I can tell. The amount of ram is generally a thing most titles don't take into account very well. The issue is the actual clock speed of the ram.

 

[Vault76]

Atmosphere 1.7.0 8GB ram

 

[Nagaa]

Atmosphere 1.7.1 8GB

 

[lookingattech]

so about this ram upgrade - did you have to do any trace modding/reball anything or did you find chips that fit the existing pads? overclocking potential with the better thermals?

 

[MightySashiman]

but how do you actually use 8gb? aren't games hardwired to use 4gb?

Apparently some are, but some just ask for as much memory as they can.

Is there a list of all games that can fully support these ram amounts

 

[MightySashiman]

Apparently some are, but some just ask for as much memory as they can.

...which is probably the sane way of programming in the first place!
Would you have more info about this?

 

[0DanDan0]

I believe that probably its most pc ported games eg: slime rancher doom astroneer undertale etc. because those are coded to support all ram types so when they were ported to switch they still had those in their code
