ROM Hack RELEASE Dark Souls 60 FPS mod

[masagrator]

Mod unlocking 60 FPS and changing game speed to match 60 FPS output.
Ladder bug still occurs (recommended use of FPSLocker with patch that locks game to 30 FPS when player is using ladder)

Recommended OC settings are:

handheld_charging_cpu=1224
handheld_charging_gpu=768
handheld_charging_official_gpu=921
handheld_charging_mem=1600

Only big drops I found were when resting at the bonfire and there is fog for few seconds and cutscenes drop to 30 FPS.
It wasn't tested thoroughly, so in later stages it may has worse performance. At least in tutorial stage and first open world it was working well on 768 MHz.
I'm sharing cheat file to avoid some bugs.
If game will have too big drops in late stages, I will try to find how to adjust resolution. Configs files in romfs are not working and so far what we found in main resulted in glitched output (layers are not scaling properly).
Thanks to @Kirby567fan with tests and ~Sup from Discord

This is amazing! Thank you so much. I wonder why From Soft hasn't put Dark Souls 2 on the Switch. Seems like a perfect fit for the console. Easily 70 hours of content in that game.

IT looks like ladder bug still occurs. So I've deleted IPS file.

For some reason, the game is running at half the speed of 30fps when 60fps is enabled. The camera in-game seems like its working fine but everything is just running in slow motion.

Then OC is not working for you.

If you have used sys-clk Editor, then your config is now glitched, because sys-clk doesn't like non-ASCII characters, and Dark Souls has in title trademark sign, so Editor is adding trademark sign to config, sys-clk fricks out. Edit config and delete non-ASCII characters, restart Switch just in case.

Sad... they didn't ported sequel 2 to Nintendo Switch. The rumour was in 2018 according to this:

I have them on PS4, thought.

Need to be able to easily toggle between 30 and 60 to avoid the ladder issue.

That's why I uploaded cheat. You can use it to make your own key combo or install Tesla with Edizon Overlay.

Whats the ladder issue? Is it ever gonna be something fixable?

Also any luck the resolution mod?

Game is not detecting on time where you should go off the ladder, so you can go out of bounds. PC PtDE Has fan fix that forces you to go off the ladder if it detects you are close to end of ladder.

Now we have proof that Dark Souls for Switch is not Remastered. 😏 This is after unlocking 60 FPS. pic.twitter.com/6C3WVTs4XU

And I'm busy with other stuff. Didn't touch anything related to Dark Souls since release of this back.

"PC PtDE Has fan fix that forces you to go off the ladder if it detects you are close to end of ladder."
So it is possible to fix? Is what your saying?

I guess its not a big deal. I'd wanna play this online and that means no game edits anyways. Appreciate your work though man!

@masagrator
can you try making a 60 fps patch for METRO?

cool, thanks for this!

Is there no need to change docked frequencies? Also thanks for the mod!

It is not considered to use it in docked profile at all.

If you are using ReverseNX with handheld flag, use the same clocks for docked.

Does this mean the mod won't work docked, or there is no need to modify frequencies? Sorry for misunderstanding. I'm using Atmosphere and Checkpoint.

Docked mode has too high resolution to get even close to 60. It's just not pheasible even with max OC.

How do I edit config to remove the special characters from the title? I don't see the option anywhere.
