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.

this just forces a game to run in a handheld profile or dock profile.

EDIT

They can only suggest to system what it should use and system decides when change clocks.

so in case need more strong hardware might be unlock to good graphic. then it get back to default immedialy?

Sorry, but I don't get your English very well.

You need OC to get in handheld mode docked graphics with performance as in docked mode.

sorry. i just want to know how is reversenx working? what happen when i changed "system" in homebrew to "Docked" within handheld no plug power supply?

It means if you will run game, game will think it's in docked mode so on this output will adjust everything to docked mode - graphics, modes, etc. It's restricted to game things only. System things are not touched.
"System" profile means system decides for game if it's in handheld or docked (so default behaviour).

Yes. thank you. So i think i need to use Sys-clk to OC gpu to around 460-768 for best playing the witcher 3.

@masagrator Hi there. Any reason sys-clk overlay won't detect the profile change to docked? ReverseNX is working (tested in rocket league and it showed a clear graphics difference when changing between docked/undocked). I do have status monitor and nx-fps but both are updated to latest. Any help would be great, ty.

Edit: I'm on the latest atmosphere 0.14.4

Is there a way to do this system wide? I have a strange situation where in handheld system monitor will show the Switch at about 53 degrees and fan is at 100%, but when docked it can be at 60 degrees and not even at 70% fan...

A system wide version of this would mean I could tell the Switch it was docked and get the improved fan speeds!

ReverseNX doesn't change any clocks and fan profiles. Nothing is changed in system. Only what it does is forcing games to think currently Switch is in mode faked by ReverseNX. Your issue is not related to how ReverseNX works.

Sorry I wasn't saying it was. I was asking if there was a way to make a modified version of Reverse-NX that would trick the Switch system wide, and thus give me the lower docked fan speeds even when I'm in handheld mode.

No, because this would require MITMing Applet Manager services and this shit is not so nice to rewrite:

It seems Need for Speed is crashing after logging setup with reversenx enabled, disabled it and the game works normally, can someone confirm?

You sure you are in correct thread?

[Furtle]

Trying to use this along side the sys-clk overlay but it doesn't seem to be changing the profile on sys-clk to docked mode. Any ideas?

 

[1basti1]

ReverseNX doesn't change clocks. If you want 768Mhz you need to plugin the official charger and use sys-clk.

Just it won't change to 768 MHz while being physically in handheld mode. Games doesn't have privileges to change clocks directly. They can only suggest to system what it should use and system decides when change clocks.

Crashes on me every time I change the mode to a game on 11.01.

Some games have controllers work in different mode in docked which makes wired joycons not possible to use in handheld mode. You would need to eject joy-cons (well, forget this if you have Lite) or connect other controller with bluetooth. For example naruto Ultimate ninja storm 4 has the same issue,

Interesting, sounds like something that could be fixed with a per-game patch if someone had the interest.
