Freebird - Switch Clock Speed Control Sysmodule

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!

Are you running homebrew from an nsp? Atmosphere's button fix should work if you run homebrew by holding R while starting a game.
IDK if you're talking about freebird's app or sys-clk's app, after the way the conversation in this thread has gone, but don't expect freebird to work on 9.0.1

Use sys-clk since this tool is quite outdated.

I did every step, but when I start the Firebird app in my Switch, it only shows a black screen, what did I do wrong?
That only happens if the Gui can't open the service. Freebird should throw a fatal if it has problems starting. I should also add that the last update I put up is only compatible with 8+.

Well, then what can I do? :/
If it's not throwing a fatal error at boot, the only thing I can think of is that there isn't enough memory available. I'd give you what I have on my system now, but I added a handheld limiter that can be disabled. It's not ready yet though. I had the same issue when I made a typo in the heap setup.

Freebird seems to cause errors when using SX OS : 2345 -0031 when I go into album. After I start my game. Had to move out the entire plugin to be able to use cheats.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
