I built a nintendo switch oled PRO...

[@iKirby8]

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]

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.

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]

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]

​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.

Android and Linux needs 0 tweaks to account for more RAM. AMS does indeed. But HOS can account for it without mods if you burn the fuse.

18:28 - in my opinion, the fans need to be swapped to a push config instead of pull. The switch air intake is on the bottom and the exhaust is on the top. because the dock fans are pulling air away from the intake, you're possibly leaving a lot of performance on the table.

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]

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.

[@CajunReaper95]

@@aivaziit probably also didn’t help that he put an aluminum back cover on the switch especially given that cpu coolers serve 2 functions, 1 is to wick away the heat from the processor and 2. The cpu fan provides cool air to keep everything at a manageable temperature so this aluminum back cover in theory would be heat soaking everything including the lithium ion battery not to mention that aluminum is heavier than plastic!

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)

A note to any newcomers who wanted to mod a Nintendo Switch: Doing EmuNAND or EmuMMC will prevent your console from connecting to the Nintendo servers. Meaning that you cannot play those Switch titles online while in EmuNAND. The purpose for EmuNAND is to have a little playground on your Switch where you can mess around. But trying to disable those protection or recklessly installing things on your SysNAND will very likely to get your console permanently banned. So if you want to play mods online (mess around with your friends or have cool skins), do not install any NSPs or convert your carts to digital on SysNAND. You can have mods or whatever there but do it carefully. I have my V1 Switch modded for more than a year running on SysNAND and I'm not banned. Been playing Splatoon 3 or Pokemon online with mods and I'm perfectly alright.

Doing EmuMMC does not prevent the console from connecting to the servers. You need to configure a DNS in order to prevent the connection. Doing EmuMMC is always recommended because it’s safer to mess on a microSD instead of the system memory 👍🏻

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 😅

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.

there is a LOT of incorrect information in this video. 1) Those "metal lids" aren't there to keep you out (and they pop off quite easily without using the needle) They are often put in place to protect the IC's from EM interference, and for thermal reasons. 2) Thermal putty/pads on the actual heat pipe so close the CPU like that will actually DETRIMENTALLY affect it's performance. The goal is to get the heat AWAY from the CPU, and by doing that, you're causing the vapor inside the heatpipe to partially dump it's thermal load too soon (too far from the cooling fins) that the heat actually runs right back up the pipe to the CPU. *slow golf clap* 3) That "cheap plastic" you mention for the old backplate, is more likely than not, a thermoset thermally conductive plastic (Quite commonly used in these types of applications) And work for what they do. (That's why there are some silly people thinking there is "glitter" in the plastic lol) 4) The "new" switch backplate you have is NOT milled from a solid block of aluminum. It's extruded aluminum/magnesium allow, that has has small parts of it either laser cut, or milled as a finishing process. 5) "The larger intakes on the backplate help increase airflow" YIKES my guy.... So what you've effectively done with these larger intakes, is actually LIMIT the efficiency of the heat exchange. Yes, you will be able to pull in a "wider path" of air, but not "more" air. and infact, this design will cause recirculation, pulling hot air from within the chassis out the opening, and back through the fan. You've also effective halved the pressure of, and there fore the speed of the air moving. Good job. I would also like to note, that all of the supposed thermal upgrades you are making have literally no basis in factual data. You are simulteniously spreading the heat throughout the chassis, effectively elevating the internal temperature of the ENTIRE device, while at the same time hampering the effectiveness of the CPU thermal solution. What you've done is legitimately more harm to the device than help. On top

Those batteries man....The willingness of Chinese companies to knowingly sell broken, sub par or outright fake products never ceases to amaze me. There's some good documentaries on KZbin about it. Their business practices boggle the mind.

[@Drjacques]

can you post here the link or the name and platform where I can see it?

[@NickTaylor-Phantom-Works2]

@Drjacques aw mate, it was about 6 months ago! It was on KZbin though. Lemme see if I added it a playlist. If memory serves it was quite professionally done, not just some guy in his bedroom quoting reddit comments as gospel truth. Was certainly an eye opener... Damn it! Now _I_ wanna see it again!

Nintendo won't be happy after seeing this

[@Nocturnz]

To be honest if you only up the ram clock speeds you should get better and more stable FPS throughout the whole thing 1800mhz works as well for the Launch switch as well.

[@Skobeloff...]

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.

[@antxnioo]

21:47 As a game maker, you have to multiply everything with delta time (milliseconds difference between two frames) to avoid higher FPS making the game run faster. Nintendo knew this. They made this on purpose because they knew people would make the game run at 60FPS, so they just stopped using delta time all together. This shows how scummy Nintendo is.

[@crestofhonor2349]

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.

[@Moxzot]

You'd actually be surprised besides the CPU being weaker the GPU is still quite competitive with modern flagship soc especially since it's not really meant for phones being adapted from its desktop variants.

[@crestofhonor2349]

@@Moxzot The GPU really isn't all that competitive as shown with the Nvidia shield. The Switch can barely run the more intensive mobile games that have come out. Tests with games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail show pretty poor performance even at the lowest setting

[@crestofhonor2349]

@@teddys2895 That's just silicon lottery with overclocking. The Shield can do exactly that just like the Switch since it's the same chip. Of course, Mariko models can clock higher and we know the Shield has it thanks to HDMI 2.0 being supported on all Mariko variations

5months passed and video is still up, considering it’s nintendo all over the video it’s nice that they didn’t take video down🥳

Bro I'd pay for that thing, it's a work of art.

I would too, $600a easy and more for a SD card full of emulators.

[@CajunReaper95]

So you’d pay for something that was sloppily upgraded, has thermal pads all over, poor heat transfer and heavier on top of the outright misinformation surrounding a lot of things inside the switch like the rf shielding? If so yikes! 😬

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.

With the fans you may also be over volting them too, usb general is 5 volts but with the right device plug in it will negotiate 6 volts . I'm Shure you don't have anything plugged in but just as a side note. Although Id drop 2 10ohm resistors in series it should drop the speed of the fans while still letting the spin up. Or drop 2 5ohms. Your pick both will quit them down

[@idgamingfederation8172]

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.

[@SimonBauer7]

2:22 not really just for that but also for rf shielding, a lot of devices have things like this, mostly meassurement equipment, but also wifi dongles and such

[@ΒασιληςΑλεξανδρης-δ4υ]

You put the Fans from the wrong side

[@Psychx_]

There are special chargers for "naked" Li-Ion and Li-Po cells. Costs around 40 bucks and lets you define the total amount of energy the charger should dump into the cells, the cutoff voltage, etc. It'll then increase/decrease charging current according to some curve that matches the cell chemistry, avoids overcharging, can balance a pack consisting of multiple cells, cycle the battery, aswell as do a discharge tests to determine the real capacity. I'd highly recommend getting one of these! Mine is a combo device that can charge everyhing [Li-Ion, Li-Po, LiFePO4, NiCd, NiMH, Lead-Acid, custom profile (i.e. for a capacitor bank)], which is very, very useful.

you have to cycle (fully discharge anf fully charge) batterys with long shelflive in order to see true potential

[@thabed007]

really cool project, looks like a really good one to learn and test your skills too!! the only thing i"d do, and would recommend doing differently is about the batteries, i know there's a lot of videos were peoples use solder on them, but i messed quite a good bit around with lithium cells(specially 18650 one) and did tons of research during and before hands, first thing, if you use, or plan to use lithium cells in a lot of projects, to greatly reduce the chance reduce the chance of something going wrong, is getting a portable spot welder made for it, even a cheap one will do so long as you use the right nickel strips. Even when you need wires coming from the battery, it's better to cut nickel strips slightly longer than the battery tabs, solder your wires to the strips first(normal solder is perfect on those :p) then wield them to the tabs!! Second, it's highly recommended to have a bucked of sand close by no matter what joining technique is used to throw you batteries in in case something goes wrong because they can start a fire really fast, or even explode! And more of a tip than a recommendation, in the case that you know before hand that cells you wanna join are good, you don't have to charge them to the max to do so, you just need to make sure that the charge is as close as possible to being the same in all of them, and that they're around or above the minimum voltage recommended(3.4v for 3.7v cells)!!

about battery they are 4.4 not 4.2, phone batteries are higher voltage one, they can be easly destroyed if they are discharged below 3.8

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

[@Holtakháborúja]

Your project looks amazing one advice ! Do one joycon middle doc from same wood what the normal dock is ! I think is would be amazing :D

[@waltundres9630]

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.
