Okay so it's widely known that by docking a switch and then turning the resolution to 720p you can actually get digaea 6 to run well (note by default it runs quite poorly). Meaning it runs really badly in 1080p on a tv in the dock and it runs badly in 720p in handheld mode.

What I want to do is plug it in to the wall via the charger (not the dock). This will make it "possible" to get as much power as when in the dock. I'm just gonna play it handheld though in my recliner next to my wall outlet.

Yes, my switch is hacked, yes it's got overclocking as an option, so yeah, I can overclock up to docked performance to achieve what I want. But I realized, this game runs so poorly by default A LOT of people must have had this realization, so I'm wondering, anyone out there already done this? Did it work well? and what clockrates did you target? I assume ram/gpu overclocking is what's needed here? not cpu? right?

In case it's not clear from this long rant, I'm experimenting with:
mem 1600
gpu 768
cpu not overridden.

In my pocket netherworld home base.
Comparisons made now that I have my fps counter overlay working, so I'm not just eyeballing it:

Balanced: 56fps plugged in 34fps unplugged
Graphics: 42fps plugged in 25fps unplugged


note: performance is actually worse in the base than in a battle, because most battlefields are smaller than the base.

TL;DR

Extremely minor overclocking (simply to perform like the dock asks the device to perform) is quite effective in this game specifically.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
