    using the FPS locker program you used on the switch, if you go to advanced settings you can actually download a config file made specifically for totk which allows for a higher framerate, makes game speed not tied to framerate, allows for dynamic resolution, and also triple buffers it so it's smoother than stock. I would highly recommend checking if a game has a config available for download in the advanced settings of a game to make it the best possible experience.

      And if you have enough soldering skills, you can replace the 2GB RAM modules for 4GB modules for 8GB.
      It probably won't benefit too much games but it can allow you to run Android or Linux with more headroom
      For instance, someone apparently installed Linux to their switch and ran the Yuzu emulator on it, with 10FPS average, so they emulated the switch on a switch.

He had to go to bed, but loves this stuff and I love how your content is inspiring him. Great work. Lost my mom to brain cancer almost a year ago just after she bought me the OLED TOTK model. I often worry about my joy cons going out since they’re kinda special to me being my last bday gift from her. I’m now hopeful and less worried since repairing them doesn’t seem to be too difficult. Great channel. I even watch the adds in hopes of it helping you grow. Thanks again.

      We bought a kit to use at work and I loved it so much, I actually bought my own kit to have at home. It's been one of the best things I've ever purchased, as I use it for everything, from getting into and repairing video game consoles, to using it in place of a paperclip (for resetting electronics etc.), to using it in place of things like allen keys that are too small and awkward to use.
      There's probably cheaper toolkits out there, but these are great, and apparently if anything breaks I can just request a new one and they'll send it out. I haven't tried that out yet, but one day I might need to, as the SIM eject / paperclip replace tool gets a lot of use.

    There are more things you can do on top of this, if you're OK with replacing motherboard-level components, editing some Atmosphere and switchroot firmware sourcecode, repartitioning and reballing: people have succeeded at upgrading the Switch's internal memory chip, bringing us the only Switch consoles with 256GB of internal memory that are known to exist. Even the onboard DRAM can be upgraded. The DRAM upgrades are especially notable because higher-specced RAM chips can be of both higher capacity and higher clock speeds. The Switch being bottlenecked by its slow DRAM, it really, REALLY benefits from faster memory. The Switch firmware doesn't really take advantage of more than the stock 4 gigs of RAM, for obvious reasons, but Linux and Android can benefit from higher capacity RAM as well.
    Yes, it's possible to install Linux and Android on a modded Switch too, extending the catalog of software you can run.

      @3lH4ck3rC0mf0r7 13 วันที่ผ่านมา +7

      ​It would be if not for the fact that the DRAM ID and capacity is burned into the fuses in retail. So a custom firmware is required for changing DRAM.
      Only after that can Horizon OS acknowledge the new memory. Still, no retail Switch software will allocate more physical memory than what a retail Switch has, so the extra memory can only really be leveraged by homebrew.

    2:12 The metal covers are not a security measure. They are to block RF emissions from the CPU and RAM and other high-speed chips.
    The RF shields on the Switch are actually a lot easier to remove since they are just clipped on; some other RF shields are soldered directly to the board and can be somewhat difficult to remove without damaging other components.

    very interesting mod for the Switch. Taki Udon did a similar video with the stock OLED system with modding the chip and converting to Linux and actually found that after overclocking the system and hacking it, it was able to play Switch games in 4K under Emulation, which in his own words, is just nuts to even begin to think of. I wondered how much better efficiency and performance THIS mod would be when emulating systems, not only just playing Switch games natively.

    A lot of companies do not need to excel, due to a lot of consumers not being fussy, and/or being gullible. Underdelivering also allows you to release a better version with little effort, one that not overly bright consumers will buy as an upgrade. Apple does very well using this method.

    Best method of checking a lipo battery's health after long shelf life, is to check their output. They should be around 60-70% charged when stored. That will drop after some time, so if the battery still has some mAh left in them, you know they are good. (That's why you shouldn't charge them before you check them) A LiPo will also take more damage while storing at 0% than 100%. Both are bad ofc, but an empty cell is worse and more dangerous than a full one.

  • @Roobotics
    @Roobotics 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    2:16 That's not really accurate in this case, if it was for security they would be FULLY soldered to the PCB and require some real desoldering or hotair rework to remove, not a little needle prying. These are used as both heat-spreaders and RF shields for emissions compliance.
    Also a an issue with the batteries you chose! Those are 3.85v/4.4v chemistry cells, they are being charged by a 3.7/4.2v circuit. So there is a certain capacity overhead lost and you won't be getting the quoted mAh at all! If the cell/charger swap was in the other direction, you'd probably have far unhappier cells though! (or fire if they lacked proper protections)

    One thing to note is that there is infact mods for games that allow for higher FPS to work correctly, some games have static FPS mods which makes the game run slower when it drops FPS and other games like TOTK have DFPS mods (UltraCam) which allows the game to run properly at any FPS at any time without slowing down.

    We technically already did know the limits of the switch thanks to the Nvidia shield which didn't limit memory and clock speeds like the switch does in both docked and handheld mode. Honestly the biggest issue is memory bandwidth on the switch as games like Tears of the Kingdom show that CPU and GPU increases don't help decrease frame rate drops. It's cool to see that Nintendo could have improved clocks to increase power while keeping the same battery life as the V1 switch. The Switch V2, OLED, and Lite all support HDMI 2.0 meaning that they technically support 4K@60hz thanks to the new Mariko chip. Plus the new dock for the OLED also supports HDMI 2.0 out too.
    Although this still puts the switch behind any modern smartphone in terms of specs for the past 5-6 years. One android handheld, the Ayn Odin 2, really show how much further ahead current ARM chips are in both GPU and CPU speeds.
