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.

can i combine this to sysclock to bypass the 460mhz gpu clockspeed without plugging the charger? because i already tried and its not working for me.

No.
ReverseNX only makes the game think it's docked/undocked, doesn't affect any other part of the system including sys-clock.

Does it affect the fan?

thank you.

I read a few years ago reversenx injects code directly in the game and it would be super obvious to ban. reverseNX is maybe 90% of the reason why i have a hacked switch, i wonder if the way it works now is more seamless and more transparent for online games or is it still a super mega red flag ?

And yes, I know any hacked activity makes you risk a ban, but the reality is some are way worse than others. I played on a cfw for years and never got a ban because i avoided all the biggest red flag behavior and was very careful on what i was using in sysnand (and never reversenx on sysnand), but everytime i wished so much i could use reverse nx. Its is such a killer app

It is still mega red flag because of how SaltyNX works. And that will never change if it will be still relying on SaltyNX to work.

Is there any risk of this being tracked by Nintendo for banning? I use sysnand for original games.

Read post above your post...

I would only use it on the emunand, no problems?

Or is it possible to get a trace on the console?

Can I use this tool forced MH Sunbreak running in handheld mode for using 60fps mod (OC needed) at docked mode?

Okay, it works without major problem. (fps is 56~60)

 

[Soler37]

Thanks for this tool.
What would be the optimal setting for running BOTW while docked so that it doesn't drop fps?
What tools would I need for this to work and is it right that NX FPS doesn't work well with this?
I'm quite a noob when it comes to this, do I download these and just dump them in the SD?

 

[masagrator]

What tools would I need for this to work

Everything needed is in first post...

It's not true.

Use handheld mode or OC RAM to 1862 MHz.

Can anyone tell me how to exactly make this work, what to install and where to put things. I cant find any clear tutorial.
Thansk!

The da easy way is to get the basic install done is:

1) install Homebrew App Store
https://github.com/fortheusers/hb-appstore
(drag and drop instructions in the readme on the first page)

2) Open your newly installed hbastore app
(open the hbmenu app that comes w/ atmosphere to run the homebrew)

3) do the following 2 searches and click (A) to install everything you need.

I have the HB appstore, but i meant how do i do it manually so i know what i did and that i installed the latest app.
Anyway, i donwloaded it, and enabled the "docked" mode handheld, but idk how can i be sure it runs in actual DOCKED mode that i set it up to, cause i see no difference?

For example, I am playing "tormented souls" and when i actually place switch in the actual dock the game runs stable and smoothly around, or at 60fps.
But when i use reverse nx tool and set the game to run "docked" while in actual handheld mode, and than i play the game, the game doesn't seem to run like its in docked, 40fps, unstable. Its like Reverse NX is not working.
I have SaltyNX installed, i have sys-clk installed (if thats needed, idk).

Also when i try to use sys-clk overlay its saying "sys-clk does not seem to be running, please check that it is correctly installed and enabled"
This probably has nothing to do with ReverseNX but i shared the info just in case.


So.... What am i doing wrong here?

@masagrator

"When forcing docked mode, it is recommended to use OC settings exactly as used in docked mode:

handheld_charging_mem=1600"


Where do i put those strings, and how does Reverse NX actually work?

I still don't understand, I thought i just install ReverseNX tool, set a game to "docked" and that's it,
and than Switch acts as if it's in Dock mode, while playing the game in handheld.

I'm looking all over for step by step tutorial and explanation, but so far i found nothing.
So i'm hoping someone here can help.

If you use OC Suite tools in combination with ReverseNX-RT it will automatically set docked clocks when using docked mode engaged. https://github.com/KazushiMe/Switch-OC-Suite

But it will still not allow docked clocks without having a charger by default to protect the battery, but I think they have a way to force it if you want, I recommend reading OC Suite github readme...

It's their "Sync ReverseNX Mode" option that does it and you can turn it ON\OFF from tesla menu as you please...

What do you mean "protect the battery"? The way you put it it sounds like it will explode if it's forced...
What's Sync ReverseNX Mode? A plugin for Tesla?

So ReverseNX is useless unless i have the console plugged in to charger?
Sorry, im just so confused, no one still explained me, nor i can find how this all works, dos donts, risks.
All the info i read are conflicting, and most people assume i know everything already.

Id really apreciate if someone could explain me as simple as possible, just a basic functions.

Im sorry but im just so confused. Im literally feeling like trowing darts in the dark hoping one will hit.
