I put the game settings in the config.ini file but when I open the games (tesla-overlay), it does not call these settings. They are all blank, for me to set, not taking advantage of what is in the file. Did I get this functionality wrong?

Update: nevermind.. fixed

So. I noticed a problem with couple of games. Doom and Wolfenstein youngblood to be exact. My sys-clk drops clocks. I have 614 set on gpu, but status monitor says it's 307, 384, 460 every now and then. And games start to lag constantly. Sometimes it's unplayable. But I noticed it only in these games. Others seem to be fine

Would it be possible to have a slightly more clocked version of the gpu in handheld mode? There are some games that I believe 614mhz would be enough to run in docked mode.

Thanks!

Rylen101 compiled a version without the limiter, I guess you could send a PM and request the file.I think that post is ~ 3 pages back?

That said, the limit is there for a reason. It'll put extra drain and strain on your battery. But if you don't care about degrading your battery, go for it.

Instead, I'd suggest getting a PD (Power Delivery) USB-C battery pack. Like the Anker one that was licensed by nintendo. I have the non-licensed version and it lets me overclock as if I'm plugged into the wall outlet.

I sent him a PM.

I am grateful for the PD suggestion too! I was looking for one that would serve that purpose.

If you have a moment, would you mind linking to one (or both) of these? Did some searching but didn't find anything definitive. Thanks!

This is the one I personally use, Anker Powercore 20000 PD. But Mine didn't come with a wall charger, so I use the Switch wall charger for it.

I looked for the Nintendo licensed version, but it seems they took them off their site? It had exactly the same specs, but with a Switch logo on it. Here's an old article about the 2 packs.

Any of their other powerbanks with "PD" should work fine for the switch. IIRC the switch pulls 18W max, so even something like this should work. Though i'm not sure if that 18W limit is still true while overclocking.

EDIT: Just saw this on the last link's page. "-Will charge Nintendo Switch but does not support "Charge-and-Play" in TV mode." I never even thought to try using my battery to power the dock, but this makes it sound like it would work! Still nervous to try it lol.

Hello, thanks for this useful tool : i used the last version on Sx os with overlay.

I have a question about this note "GPU (capped at 460MHz without a charger, clocks up to 768MHz require a charger, clocks higher than 768MHz require the official charger"

It means despite i set more than 460mhz it's capped at 460Mhz...As the docked mode mush to 768Mhz, is there a way to have this frequencie in Handled mode ? If yes did someone has noticed a huge performance uprise ? And what about battery & risk ? I would like to have some feedbacks.

Thanks
Regards,

How do you make profiles on this for individual roms in retroarch without having to toggle or change numbers when starting them up?

Getting a strange error:

ASSERT_RESULT_OK: ipcServerInit
RC: [0x815] 0021-0004
in /builds/Switch/sys-clk/sysmodule/src/ipc_service.cpp:24


Is there a limit to how many entries are allowed?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
