SaltyNX

Background process for the Nintendo Switch for file/code modification

Created by: https://github.com/shinyquagsire23

This fork includes many QoL improvements and beside plugins support also supports patches.

Since 0.7.0 version NX-FPS and ReverseNX-RT are an intergral part of SaltyNX Core.
Since 1.0.0 32-bit games are supported (external plugins are not supported for them).
To use ReverseNX-RT download newest overlay from HERE

Patches pattern:

• filename is symbol of function with filetype .asm64 for 64-bit games, .asm32 for 32-bit games,
• inside file write with hex editor instructions that you want to put into this function,
• put this file either to SaltySD/patches to make it work for every game, or to SaltySD/patches/*titleid* to make it work for specific game.

For additional functions you need SaltyNX-Tool

https://github.com/masagrator/SaltyNX-Tool

It is required to have FW installed at least 10.0.0 version

No technical support for:

• Atmosphere forks
• SX OS
• Kosmos
• ReinX

Known issues:

• Instability with some homebrews and sysmodules (like emuiibo),
• You need to have at least Hekate 5.0.2 if you don't want issues related to Hekate,
• Cheats using directly heap addresses may not work properly while using plugins.

How to download release:

For Atmosphere >=0.10.1 just put folders from archive to root of your sdcard.

For Atmosphere <=0.9.4 and any other CFW rename contents folder to titles

Remember to restart Switch

Thanks to

• Cooler3D for sharing code with me how he was changing display refresh rate in his tools that were first publicly available tools allowing this on HOS. I have used that as basis to make my own function.
