A new update has been released for Ultra-NX , a custom firmware for Nintendo Switch consoles designed to deliver the ultimate in performance and customization on Nintendo Switch consoles .
Ultra-NX is not just a custom firmware, but a complete platform to optimize and personalize your experience through advanced overclocking tools and optimized modules.
In this new release, the sys-con payload has been updated to version 1.5.1 while changes have been made to Mission Control and sys-con , removing the setting that automatically enabled them after every Ultra-NX update.
Support for the English version of DBI has been removed, as it has not received updates for a long time and lacks many important features.
In its place, Ultra-NX now includes DBI 773-ru . For those who do not know Russian, you can use translation tools such as Google Translate or ChatGPT to interpret its interface.
The update also introduces a new version of Ultra Tuner (19|R5) , which adds tooltips in menus to indicate the presence of a second page of information.
We have also improved the Mod Manager by removing obsolete mods, updating UltraCam Zelda: TotK to version 2.6.1 , and adding UltraCam Zelda: BotW v1.0.1 and UltraCam Zelda: EoW v1.0 .
