Okay.. now it is at 832x468 res... with 40-44 fps..

But question from this list 832x468 is a portable res... Im using reverseNX with global docked flag.. so why isn't the res atleast 956x536?

0 | 832x468 | 956x536
1 | 848x476 | 956x536
2 | 860x488 | 956x536

6 | 936x528 | 956x536
7 | 956x536 | 956x536
8 | 972x548 | 972x548
9 | 992x556 | 992x556
10 | 1008x568 | 1008x568

16 | 1116x628 | 1116x628
17 | 1136x636 | 1136x636
18 | 1152x648 | 1152x648

because you used that EXEFS FILE from DR zip. Like I said you didn't know what you were doing....

No no. I read your post and I removed the EXEFS file then it went back to 832x468 instead of my 640x468 like you said. So thats good.
Thing now is, I have reverseNX which I want to use, and somehow 956x536 res is not being active?

This thread is now cluttered with too many unnecessary questions. No offense to the others. No wonder why OP is upset. Guys, read it carefully. Even the hex editing part is very easy. Everything was laid out carefully by the OP. Best we can do is just read it and try to figure it out first. Do a trial and error. Anyway, been enjoying playing it now using 972 x 548 manual resolution plus tweaking the enhanced settings mod to my liking and I get a sweet 40 - 50 fps with OC at max and resolution ain't that bad. Still very crisp with the right settings. We're viewing it in handheld after all.

Questions like will max OC damage your Switch or what not.. seriously, you can reply here so definitely you have internet. Why not check on Youtube. A lot of people dicussed this already even Digital Foundry.

seem that's the 60fps exefs file doing that too, I haven tested it with docked flag. So, if you want lowest 540p, use that dynamic resolution override setting

Edit: I just tried it and the lowest res with docked mode still 540p, your reversenx might not working. If docked flag applied you should see a prompt " Press L+R on the controller"

Either i'm doing something wrong or it look blurrier after apllying the mod. Or it just doesn't work for me...
Of course it will be blurrier if you have used 60 FPS mod. Because more power needs to generate 60 frames, game will stay at the bottom of dynamic resolution more often.

Is it possible to transfer Switch save to PC via checkpoint? I tried, but it only shows "Save corrupted".

This is not a place to ask those questions.

It will not affect. Changing some setting can give us even few more FPS.

I'm using it with Enahnced Settings to debug some values on the go and even have option to lock to 30 FPS whenever I want.

How do you access this options menu? I have followed every step in the tutorial. sys-clk settings, ReverseNX settings, changed hex values etc...

However every time I start game, I only have two options available. Motion Blur and Blur.

What am I doing wrong?

Anyone here knows what's the best resolution to play handheld mode with OC to 537 without charging the switch? Been fiddling with the settings for a few days and still coulldn't get the sweet spot.

the enhanced settings on a different thread
https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-witcher-3-enhanced-settings-mod.549937/
and you might did one thing wrong, that was download TW3-DR then edit the exefs. did you know what's puppose of doing that? if you knew what you were doing it's fine then

DON'T OC higher than 460mhz without a charger, it might kill your battery fast.
and by default game already running at 460mhz yet still struggling for 30fps. Only thing you can do is OC RAM, you'll get a bit smoother FPS when running around some areas in openworld.
This mod is suppose to be used with high OC - which you shouldn't do without a charger and the better thermal paste

Guess i'll just stick with 460mhz and 1600 ram, disabled dynamic resolution and fixed to 900x508

For example 720p fixed (Dynamic resolution disabled) may cause huge fps drops in combat and town. But using 1100x616 as Minimal Dynamic Resolution exefs patch, you can get both high res and 30fps stable like this:
View attachment 183001 View attachment 183002 View attachment 183003

Here is the patch.
P/s: don't forget OC.
This by far is the best i have tried. Looks great and pretty much 30 fps all the time. It is perfect for what i want. I use docked clock speeds.

I don't think it's 30fps most time, I didn't test locked 720p but when I test with docked clocks it drops under 720p pretty much all time and hardly reach 720p when moving, the Dev have lowest 540p dynamic res in docked mode for a reason

If you didn't use the mod that show fps/resolution you might mistake 30fps with ~27fps (yeah I might not know when it running constant ~27fps before using that mod because game still feel smooth)

with power supply I come to ~ 55 fps.

Once I deduct it only at ~ 30fps.
2019102110131600-1BB2CE368C4381D1A5EF7A2C59901B8F.jpg
In sys-clk I have everything set the same.
I do not understand why.
The ips aptches are in the right place, the settings file I have edited.

That is not locked 720p. It only allows it to drop to a certain resolution. Works great for me. Also i am using the fps counter. It is not perfect 30 fps at all times but pretty close 95% of the time for me.

Once you unplug your charger the clocks will drop. It can only go to 460 without charger im pretty sure.

    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!
