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. This allows us to run them in 64-bit games not compatible with plugins. To use ReverseNX-RT download newest overlay from HERE

Patches pattern:

• filename is symbol of function with filetype .asm64,
• inside file write with hex editor instructions that you want to overwrite for 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,
• 32 bit games are unsupported,
• 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

For SX OS remember to rename atmosphere folder to sxos

Remember to restart Switch

Thanks to

• Cooler3D for developing and releasing publicly first tool allowing changing refresh rate of display in HOS. Code for changing refresh rate in SaltyNX is based on reverse engineered code from his tool.

Titles other than 32-bit are added to exceptions.txt which is treated as Black list, you can find it in root of repo. SaltyNX reads it from SaltySD folder. X at the beginning of titleid means that this game will not load any patches and plugins. R at the beginning of titleid means that this game will not load any patches and plugins if romfs mod for this game is installed.

32-bit games are ignored by default for patches and plugins.
