This is a sysmodule/service for Atmosphere and ReiNX that uses IPC's to communicate with its companion NRO, Freeset. This allows you to use any clock speed I've found on the Switch. The only restriction I have put in place is that you must be plugged into an official charger or docked if you are crazy enough to want to use the highest two GPU clock speeds. I am leaving it completely up to you to choose what clock speeds you want to use. Be careful.



Intructions:

• Atmosphere: Copy over the contents of the zip and reboot your system to load the module. Open Freeset and use that to send over the clock speeds you want.
• ReiNX: Create a folder in your ReiNX folder named titles if there isn't one. Copy the titles folder from the atmosphere folder to ReiNX/titles. Open "010000000000C235" and move the boot2.flag to the same directory as the exefs.nsp file. Reboot and freebird should now be working on ReiNX.

X turns freebird's clock setting feature on and off. Remember to turn this off before putting your system to sleep. I'm working on it™, but it will cause and require you to fully shutdown and restart your Switch if accidentally left on. When on, freebird will check and set the clocks if they don't match what you choose. When turned off, your clock speeds will be reset and no longer forced.

A sends over the clock speeds shown/chosen from the menu. Up and down change the currently selected option, left and right change speed.

If I missed anything, don't be afraid to ask. I'm open to suggestions too.

I'd like to thank @taggen86, @nabelo, @mathew77, @vanraz86, and @Kirby567fan for taking the chances and testing it. Thanks guys!

@JK_ What settings did you try on Tales? I would like to play around with it, but its always nice to have a starting point.

PSA: You have also to install this before u overclock ur switch.

Sure that is enough?
I was told I needed this:

Probably the salesman just wanted to get rid of an expensive product.

 

[chuck67]

Are you overclocking the CPU too? That's probably why. CPU overclocking doesn't play nice with much at all, really. Launching games with it almost always fails like that. I guess a solution would be to have a list of title id's and only have it kick on when they're running.

yep up on further analysis it would seem pushing cpu to max causes lots of black screens, but one step down seems to prevent it. very grateful still, but wondered if u could release a version without the adapter requirement for those interested? thanks

 

[Dominator211]

Ill wait and see here. Very cool indeed but id like to see some testing done and some improvements made before i jump in on this. But very good progess indeed.

waiting sx os version

 

[marazzmatika]

Yeah,another post and *drumroll with those windows 95 drums" *plate ring" it's about switch! I will NOT buy the switch! Ah........
I will replace keyboard on my old toshiba and will have a lot of DOS fun without those new crap! please,please don't hear me wrong,I'm just jealous about it...

 

[JonJaded]

Nice.

Time for some puyo puyo tetris overclocking.

 

[luisvaljun]

Thanksssssssssssssssssssssss i @JK_ like beta tester for you

waiting sx os version

Probably not gonna happen. Most homebrew developers refuse to support SX OS because of the way SX blatantly allows piracy and their methods for enabling homebrew in their CFW.

I'm not trying to start a SX hate thread, just giving you info on homebrew developers reasoning. Personally, I don't care one way or another whether or not you use SX OS.

Cpu speed max estable??

Cpu speed max estable??

It won't cause any damage to the CPU. But some things don't like it when the CPU is ran any higher than 1ghz, so alot of titles will crash if you try launching them with higher CPU speed

 

[cucholix]

You could try Cetus in Warframe, the dynamic resolution really gets a hit in that area

If they release the source code I am sure Team Xecuter will magically figure out exactly how to implement overclocking themselves.

Just being completely honest here. Anyone could look at libnx's pcv service header and do what I did. IPC's maybe not, but the actual clock setting is extremely simple.

 

[EmulateLife]

Finally, I can overclock my Switch enough to take over the world, pinky.

 

[tabnk]

Definitely help Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition outside of battle.

 

[TheZander]

now all we need is a bitcoin mining switch app and start getting things done.

Cpu speed max estable??

ive read somewhere 1.5ghz is recommended and 1.9ghz shouldnt be exceeded.
makes me wonder if its because of all that stability, i hope my switch doesnt explode /s

Don't worry, TX will port it themselves (if they care enough that is) like they always do

Wonder if this will help banjo tooie in mupen

I believe Mupen is already overclocking the system on a game-by-game basis since some games have been able to run at fullspeed with no OC since the dynarec and mupen-next have progressed quite a bit.

So probably won't see an big improvements.
