TOTK 60fps on real hardware?

[Amalox]

Going to leave this here for anyone who hasn't been able to get this to work with the latest version of HOS (17.0.1), ToTK (1.2.1) and DynamicFPS (1.5.5):

As of right now ToTK 1.2.1 does not seem to be supported by DynamicFPS, so in order to get it to work I had to downgrade to 1.2.0. Everything works great now, even cutscenes. There is still a black background when switching gear, but it honestly doesn't bother me too much.

In order to reach 60fps speeds I had to install 4IFIR 1.9 as well as the 17.0.x hotfix. 4MODS comes with DynamicFPS 1.5.1 which doesn't work for ToTK 1.2.0, so you'll have to download and install 1.5.5 yourself. Maybe other people have had more luck with getting ToTK 1.2.1 to work, but after trying all sorts of different patches for hours this is the only thing that worked for me.

And now for a small rant, am I the only one very annoyed by the fact that the 4IFIR suite replaces the button shortcuts and inserts the 4IFIR name everywhere? Even the freaking Hekate loading screen is replaced by some dumb image. It works amazing for overclocking, don't get me wrong, but damn, they could have been more subtle about it.

Welcome to 4IFIR, made by guy who took not his work, rebranded it and acts like scene savior... for years. If you don't want to support such toxic behavior, switch to OC-Suite and other original tools.

I am currently making 60 FPS patch for FPSLocker for ToTK which should be enough for anybody trying to play on hardware. Only issue is that with it it's not possible to load mods until you install additional file to exefs layeredfs.
It seems to work fine except for few shrines where you can just lower FPS to make them work properly again.

Hello,
I've OC my switch with sys-mem and using 1.1.0 version of the game.

How could i upgrade internal resolution to 1080P and have 60 fps OUTSIDE the Cutscenes please ? What files should i use and where shoud i put it ? I'm using atmosphere.

I'm trying to obtain something like Zelda TOTK Runs At 60FPS On THE Original Hardware/Switch {No Emulation} video on youtube.

Regards

Impossible, just give up. 900p is barely possible to handle at 60 FPS with ridiculously high GPU clocks. The most realistic scenario for most people is 540-720p 60 FPS. And dunno why you emphasize cutscenes when they are less demanding than let's say Kakariko village.

This video provides outdated info, you can now get 2400 MHz RAM with any RAM module in Mariko as long as you are not afraid of touching voltages (in case of my MGCJ I needed to use 1200/650 mV and lock GPU Vmin to 610). Plus it plays in 540-720p range, not 1080p. If you will update game to version 1.2.1, you have FPSLocker patch available to download from overlay that includes dynamic speed, triple buffer and dynamic resolution fix for FPS target.

Because cutscenes in 60 fps speed it up. So i would like cutscenes to stay in 30 fps.

How can i modify voltages on my switch and what are the safe values ?

I've already install FPS locker while following the igthub tutorial, but i don't know how to/config or use it for TOTK. Any tips ?

Thanks for your answer

Prerendered cutscenes - yes. Not all cutscenes. FPSLocker patch locks prerendered ones to 30 FPS.

but i don't know how to/config or use it for TOTK.

Connect your Switch to internet, go to FPSLocker overlay, Advanced settings, "Check/download config file", if it will successfully download, you will have an option "Convert config to patch", click on it, restart game and change FPS to 60. Config file is available only for 1.2.1. Use latest FPSLocker version if you don't want issues with romfs mods in ToTK before downloading config.

1/ I'm kinda trying to understand how mods works on switch. I'm trying to put files in atmosphere/contents/<gametitleID>/romfs but it didn't work (at least for LOZ mods fps from here).

2/ Could i get the config file for totk and install it manually ? I'm not confident to go online with my modified switch.

Thank you for the discord i will check into it !

My guess is that this particular mod goes to exefs, not romfs folder. Advise: you must decide what you want to use, you can't use FPSLocker patch and exefs fps mod at the same time, there is a high chance game will break.
Available exefs fps mods stop cheats from working btw.

What is the tree structure when you want to use exefs mods with atmosphere for a specific game ? (like multiple mods)

The easiest way: Go here

I've extract this to my sd card :
FPSLocker-Warehouse/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

I've downloaded this :
FPSLocker-Warehouse/blob/main/atmosphere/contents/0100F2C0115B6000/exefs/main.npdm
FPSLocker-Warehouse/blob/main/SaltySD/plugins/FPSLocker/patches/0100F2C0115B6000/9B4E43650501A4D4.yaml

I've put the main.npdm is the right folder as mention.

So now, what do i do to have my game running 720p/900p 60fps ? Apart from oc and modifying voltage (that i will do after having the correct files/config setup). Also what do i do with the .yaml ?

Thanks.

Also what do i do with the .yaml ?

"Copy the SaltySD and atmosphere folder to root of your sdcard" It's in the readme.
Then:

you will have an option "Convert config to patch", click on it, restart game and change FPS to 60.

This topic is complicated as there can be conflicts between different exefs mods, so I don't want to discuss this.

is there any way to get working 4ifir in 17.0.1?
