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.

so how will 1080p downsampled to 720p look?


lol

Very nice and sharp?

Are you trolling by the way?
Because other users already confirmed that’s exactly what this hack does by the way , so I’m not too sure what’s your point?

Really good actually...better than native in many cases. You should probably google supersampling!

Good thread from reddit on pc gaming but the same principle applies.

[crow132]

ok im super hyped about this, sadly im using emummc :/

still for someone like me that use highest possible clocks and always plays handheld connected to the charger, this is a bless

btw, anyone tried botw vr mode with this patch?

also, mario odyssey should look way better

 

[Stack3r]

This sounds amazing, hopefully it will work in emunand soon

 

[raxadian]

Thank you, this sounds useful.

Just tested this on Ys 8 version 1.04 on firmware 8.10, working perfectly.

Ys 8 load times are slightly improved, some textures look a bit sharper.

Also tested Night in the Woods and the loading times seem to be much faster

I typically play in handheld mode with official charging dock so this is perfect, thanks

Has anyone tested Pokémon go docked with the handheld flag?

Curious to know if this means you can play with two joycons instead of one!

Two joycons attached to the handheld work just fine even though the console thinks it's docked, at some games it will ask you to press L+R again on start up but that's it

 

[robbros]

cool but make it work on sx os please!

 

[masagrator]

It's not my fault. SX OS doesn't support sysmodules. Ask them to add support.

I was meaning the other way round. So detached joycons and docked, playing in handheld mode. Pokemon’s go only supports Left and Right joycons together in handheld mode by default.

 

[NoNAND]

An app that let's you switch between handheld and TV mode? that's what I've always wanted count me in.
Is there a workaround to getting Pokemon Let's Go to recognize both joycons paired as on in TV mode. Hopefully it can he achieved by using this app.

 

[kumikochan]

can someone upload a comparison video when using it as a handheld or comparison pictures ?

 

[almmiron]

IF someone, sometime exploits the new switch model coming (tegra revision, 1,5x more battery life), then this would be even more awesome. I suposing this will drain a lot faster, right?

For docked.flag you need OC that requires charger plugged in.

Would love be to try Breath of the Wild VR with this.

ReverseNX

SaltyNX plugin that replaces games checks if you are using docked or handheld mode. They are mostly used to determine graphics settings and unlocking some options that are available only in docked/handheld mode.
For now in experimental phase, because it looks like SaltyNX is not in good terms with some games (they will crash without any plugin) or maybe I screwed up.
Tests were done on FW 7.0.1-8.1.0, Atmosphere 0.9.1-0.9.2
It should work with ReinX too.
SX OS is not supported.

_____________

Plugin works always globally. For now flag per titleid is not supported (this would need modifications in SaltyNX).
Flags: create in folder saltysd/plugins/ReverseNX/ empty file:

• docked.flag for docked mode

or

• handheld.flag for handheld mode

When both flags are there or none of them, plugin will ignore loading.

For docked flag is recommended to use OC settings exactly as used in docked mode:

handheld_charging_gpu=768
handheld_charging_mem=1600

______________

Known issues:

• Instability with some homebrews
• SaltyNX is still under development, so it may cause issues on it's own. Different versions of game can behave diversely.
• Some games may need reinstalling for this to work.
• EmuMMC freezes.
• 32-bit games are unsupported.

Confirmed games working or not

Tried it and sadly no it wont let you play on TV with joycons removed since while it does think its in handheld it still sees you having detached the joycons.

Would need another plugin that tells the switch the joycons are attached when they are not.
