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.

@ThatOneWeeb420 25 дней назад

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.

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.

@frieds0ul270 Месяц назад

Fun fact, even the official filmware should be able to detect 8 gigs of ram. Reportedly switch dev kits were supplied with the 8 gig

@3lH4ck3rC0mf0r7 Месяц назад

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.

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. Great video, Zac, such a cool thing to discover the potential of the actual hardware and how advance it can get after opening it up.

I just want to point out that the dock fans are backwards, the switch fan exaust is in the top of the switch and pulling air from the dock is only making a vacuum instead of ramming air into the system.

@aivazi 10 дней назад

i was about to mention the same, if the fans were installed the opposite way the temps would decrease even more instead of preventing the switch from getting fresh air. The current layout just cools the Backplate of the switch and provides preheated air for the intake (but it`s more likely that the two fans create an underpressure and the internal fan is working against it ). Changing the direction also helps with convection cooling. Its possible that by using the right direction the temperature would easily decrease up to 10°C ! and that would allow an even more aggresive undervolting.

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.

There are special chargers for "naked" Li-Ion and Li-Po cells.

I'd highly recommend getting one of these!

Great build! Subscribed!

18:10 A better solution would be to use the signal from the green LED that lights up whenever switch is in the dock and is active. That way you can just leave it in the dock without the fans spinning.

I'd love to see the effects on the latest Pokémon games tbh. Those games are a nauseating slideshow to play through.

Damn man, this was some pretty high level of engineering. I was astounded by how readily you were able to get stuff from around you to be able to fit your project. Would you mind if I ask you about the way you developed your engineering skills? Like, did you join some good college or something? Which degree did you pursue? I'm asking this because I've also graduated school and am looking to get a degree in Electrical and Electronics engineering or electrical and communications engineering

@waltundres9630 18 дней назад

nice work! Phone batteries are usually charged to 4.35 to 4.4V. By charging them only to 4.2V you are leaving some capacity on the table. So maybe your batteries are not as bad as you thought.

Next step is forgo the switch from factor, and console this make it only a set top system, keep the wake with controller, Beef up the cooling system, bypass the battery as much as possible it's a clear point of failure,. get rid of the screen, it's going to be always on the TV so no need for the screen. and push it as far as you can. upgrade the system ram. and incorporate as much storage as possible in the way of a microSD array board.

I've had great success using modchips on the OLED "Mariko" Switches. Game streaming, running LineageOS or Ubuntu, overclocking and patching games to run at 60FPS. Playing TOTK at 45-60FPS is an awesome handheld experience, despite straining the battery. Theres a lot of potential for these first generation Switch systems after being discontinued down the line

@hashdankhog8578 7 дней назад

These are some really impressive mods, I think that the dock could be improved a lot. You could have integrated a HD upscaler like the mclassic or you could have added something like the unitek which would allow you to read 8 cartridges simultaneously. I think those would have been fun to integrate into the design but damn what you did is impressive

@ok-rb6pn Месяц назад

you can run zelda totk 60 fps without 2x speed by downloading and applying a 60 fps patch. it will run just fine like the normal 30fps does, played through all of zelda botw on my modded switch at 60 fps no issues.

Took apart a OLED to put a custom backplate on. Getting the thing open and taken apart was very difficult, very impressive work done here today for sure.

In the future when dealing with any batteries don't use that aluminum solder, just use a spot welder you can get them on the small side for pretty cheap. Also a typical charge profile with charge until the current reaches 0.1 C so you really don't need such a long saturation charge, it's a little bit hard on the cell, and said you would stop it at 100 ma or a little bit below

@PretendingToBeAHuman 28 дней назад

In the sponsor section I spotted a GBA SP board with an LED modkit soldered in. I did that mod a while back and it looks amazing. Though knowing your videos I'm sure it will involve way more than some fairylights, so I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of mad build you’re cooking up!

@tyraelkamh1875 Месяц назад

Its insane Nintendo dont let us have 60 fps when the hardware could do it. Thats the only reason i dont own a switch.

2:15 the purpouse of those covers isnt nessecarly to keep you out, but rather to help A) spread heat and B) mitigate RF interference.

@H786... Месяц назад

i was thrilled by this video, great scripting and story telling of how you overcame your challenges. really nice upgrades too, i would be curious to see if you could test this with the switch 2 when it comes out to compare the performance. but perhaps the switch 2 will not really change the 30 fps lock imho.

@ZacBuilds 26 дней назад

When the Switch 2 comes out I'll definitely find something fun to do with it!

@supertoegang 23 дня назад

Just a word on why the fans may be really loud for you is that the dock uses USB-PD 15v. The charger will first supply 5v as 'pilot signal' and then switch to 15v when the dock starts to operate. The 5v fans will then also be supplied with 15v and spin quite loudly as you can imagine 😅

@EPS5000 3 часа назад

The problem with 18:20 is that if you leave the Switch in the dock, the fans will still spin 24/7, you didn’t really fix anything. Instead of a pressure switch, you should have added a sensor so when the Switch is in rest mode, the fans aren’t powered.

@InimicalDivinity 23 дня назад

This was awesome, I love stuff like this while detesting big companies who believe you should own nothing. The way you make these consoles your own is so inspiring to me. Well, i mean.. kinda. Imma have to look and see if you've upgraded a 3DS, because i don't use my switch for anything other than pokemon so it's not really worth modding it.

@robindegu7294 15 дней назад

@L0tsen Месяц назад

Great work. Some questions tho. First of how much hotter does the switch get now when it's over clocked and has the better cooling? Whould you consider making a og xbox pro using an internal hdmi mod and a upgraded hdd with a custom case and like an ogx360 so you can use modern controller on it and hook it up to an modern TV?

@ProjectswAlex Месяц назад

This is awesome. Makes me want to mod my launch switch just for the performance uplifts.
