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:

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 @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

Thank you so much for all your work @masagrator

Atmosphere is the only way? Or i can use reinX2.4 and 8.1 firm thks

 

[masagrator]

It will work with ReinX, but you need to move .kip file to ReiNX/sysmodules instead of Atmosphere/kips.

 

[Anna-x]

Ok thanks i will try soon

Hey, I tried this with Wolfenstein Youngblood but the game looks the same (handheld reversed as docked) as handheld mode. By the log file I would say it loaded the mode correctly but did anyone try this with Wolfenstein?

Did you change the clock speeds using sysclk? If not, you need to do so.

Oh, I forgot that. Gonna test it then. Thanks.

Id tech engine games have very similar profiles for handheld and docked flags, so difference may be not visible

Mutant Year Zero looks great handheld with ReverseNX. You don't even need to overclock that heavy to get FPS back up to playable speeds

IIRC 480mhz GPU gets the game to around ~24fps and the next step up (I think it's 576mhz or something) gets it pretty much to 30fps

Wow, just tried now with mutant year zero and... Amazing

Definitely, sysclick and reversenx are two key features on the switch scene

Pokémon Let's Go Eevee with BOTW overclock preset and handheld reversed as dock slows down the game so much. Anyone knows why? D:

Are you overclocking with sysclick and setting it as handled_charging_gpu?

 

[Manurocker95]

Are you overclocking with sysclick and setting it as handled_charging_gpu?

yes. I setup
docked_cpu=1224
handheld_charging_cpu=1224
handheld_mem=1600

 

[masagrator]

You need to overclock GPU, you know?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And this profile is shitty.
Why 1224 only when charging?

 

[Manurocker95]

You need to overclock GPU, you know?

I forgot to mention
docked_gpu=921.

Edit: I used default values.

 

[masagrator]

You need to overclock handheld if you are playing docked flag in handheld.

 

[Manurocker95]

You need to overclock handheld if you are playing docked flag in handheld.

Gonna test that and come back to report. Which hand-held overclock values are recommended?

 

[Csmrcc]

Gonna test that and come back to report. Which hand-held overclock values are recommended?

Some notes:
First: if you overclock over 400 the gpu you need the charger while playing, so it would be x_charging_x.
Second: gpu is the most important value, if it's not changed, you will have slow games
Third: there is not a list of every game gpu etc yet, look at the list here and in sysclick and compare the games and test always without risk, if you don't know what you are doing (as it seems) be careful

Overall, read everything here and in sysclick thread, and understand it

Yes, sry for that and thanks. ^^

I just wanted to come back after using this for the past few weeks and thank you for your work. I play my Switch only in handheld and this has made games so much more enjoyable.
