ReverseNX-Tool is a tool that takes advantage of SaltyNX patches function that forces games to think that you are using docked or handheld mode.

You can use it to change graphics settings and unlock some options that are available only in docked/handheld mode.

It was initially created to use with ReverseNX plugin, which was no longer needed since ReverseNX-Tool >=2.0.0.

Installation

Required SaltyNX >=0.3.0a installed.

Place the .nro to the /switch/ folder on your SD card.

User guide

This tool will list all installed games and make it possible to manage modes for each game (system/docked).

Note: Do not use this for online games, it can get you banned.
