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 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.

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.
