How to get 60 FPS in Dragon Quest XI S demo

Tutorial not more needed. You can get IPS patch here
https://gbatemp.net/threads/dragon-quest-xi-s-demo-60-fps-mod.546705/


Because for know we can't unpack config files luckily it's possible to unlock 60 FPS by editing .pak file.
It works probably only with demo with titleid 010026800EA0A000

You need to unpack game with hactool, go to romfs\JackGame\Content\Paks, open with hex editor pakchunk0-Switch.pak.
Go to offset 0x0722F282 and change character "2" to "1".
Save and put it to sdcard folder

atmosphere\titles\010026800EA0A000\romfs\JackGame\Content\Paks
or
reinx\titles\010026800EA0A000\romfs\JackGame\Content\Paks

You need every juice that is possible, so go with
Code:
handheld_charging_official_cpu=1785
handheld_charging_official_gpu=921
handheld_charging_official_mem=1600

You can try to lower CPU, but 768 for GPU is not enough.

it is possible for a high resolution mod or it needs the config file?
It needs config file.
If I understand correctly, devs used custom zlib compressor for smaller files that randomly cuts files and compress some of chunks, when rest is not compressed. Luckily enough part of line responsible for locking 30 FPS was not compressed.
Normally it's
Code:
nvn.SyncInterval=2
and in pak file it's
Code:
に1nvn.Interval=28サブ‚’最
And we are changing Interval=2 to Interval=1.
If you want just better resolution, you can use ReverseNX.

Here are screens comparing handheld and docked flag

Edit: It looks like it uses custom Oodle, not zlib.

BOOOO


Does your fix make it more or less consistent 60FPS? Or somewhat close?

If yes, why would they lock it to 30FPS in the first place?
They probably wanted to game look more pretty than smooth. Handheld mode is not that great in terms of graphics. So with 60 FPS it would be even worse.

My tests were not too long. I think it's more consistent if you use 921 MHz. With 768 MHz it constantly jumps between 30 and 60, so game looks choppy. If I would get configs, I would go with disabling syncinterval so we have FPS between 30 and 60 instead of 30 or 60.

I dislike modern game publishing mindsets, the bosses force the developers to push more intense looking visuals instead of 60FPS gameplay.

Or at least, that is what I am guessing is usually the case. Maybe devs are actually guilty, I doubt it but maybe sometimes that is the case.

Completely unnecessary mod. Games look more cinematic at 30 FPS anyway.
You are so stupid, you should not be on GBAtemp.

this game ain't action heavy , it's turn based, their choice kinda make sense.

Cinema maybe but anything else nah.
Cinema has that in mind at times with filming, but damn
sometimes I go from my 120hz moniter to watching an anime and I just need to take a minute to before watching the show because it messes with my eyes
Also do you set your moniter to 30 fps to play games ever? I had a friend who did it but I think it was because his computer was slow so he set it to interlaced 30

Its only 30 fps on ps4 as well.

Not without the carefully placed motion blur and other effects used to make 24fps tolerable, movies are also not interactive. Anyway, if you dont want 60 fps just dont install anything.

    Although in most systems these days physical is pretty shitty since it requires installation.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Series s can still do 1440p fine I just can't argue spending double over a few extra games you'll hardly notice
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Fps in games anyway
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like physical
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    And with this sale the different is only 50€ to the series s

    Depends you can get a VPN and buy Argentina codes like half the cost
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Id need to use another account though iirc.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like having all my games in one account.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah just set your VPN and use redeem.microsoft it's been working for me
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Anyway, series x seems to be compatible with 360, so I could play all my games there.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I was thinking about the ps5 but only reall exclusive I'm interested in is FFXVI
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    and gamepass is nicer than sony's option
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    but dunno...
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Theirs not enough exclusives for ps5 especially since they're realizing PC sells
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    FFXVI will probably follow suit too
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    If Delta was an exclusive I'd probably buy a ps5 but nah
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Delta?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Mgs remake
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
