Customization

For full Nintendo controller remapping, toggling of analog trigger emulation, and more, use the interface in the Switch Configuration app. To toggle right-stick mouse, use the screenshot button.

To customize system options, see the 14, 15 INI Settings Guide--note that enabling DDR200 can cause issues for unsupported cards, but is enabled by default on all Samsung.

Overclocking

Android provides a Performance Mode setting in the Switch Configuration App. This enables full kernel clock scaling for CPU and GPU, limited by the overclocking enable node in sysfs and any max clocks set for your SKU.

RAM, CPU, and GPU overclocking are supported as of 4/6/25 update. See 14, 15 INI Settings Guide for details. Note that for CPU and GPU OC, Performance Mode is required.

Power User Config

For sysfs nodes and other power user utilities, see 14, 15 Power User Docs. If you don't understand you probably don't need it.
