SaltyNX is a process running in the background that allows for code injection and modification. It is utilized by various tools such as ReverseNX-Tool, ReverseNX-RT, and Status Monitor in conjunction with NX-FPS, UnityGraphics, and several Smash mods.
Originally developed by shinyquagsire23, SaltyNX has not received updates since July 2019. As a result, Masagrator have taken on the responsibility of maintaining it, ensuring compatibility with the latest devkit and firmware versions, incorporating additional functionalities, and addressing any issues that arise.
How To Setup
- For Atmosphere >=0.10.1 just put folders from archive to root of your sdcard.
- For Atmosphere <=0.9.4 and any other CFW rename
contentsfolder totitles - For SX OS remember to rename
atmospherefolder tosxos
Remember to restart Switch.
Patches pattern
- filename is symbol of function with filetype
.asm64, - inside file write with hex editor instructions that you want to overwrite for this function,
- put this file either to
SaltySD/patchesto make it work for every game, or toSaltySD/patches/*titleid*to make it work for specific game.
For additional functions you need SaltyNX-Tool.

Titles other than 32-bit are added to exceptions.txt which is treated as Black list, you can find it in root of repo. SaltyNX reads it from SaltySD folder. X at the beginning of titleid means that this game will not load any patches and plugins.
32-bit games are ignored by default for patches and plugins.
Known Issues
- Instability with some homebrews and sysmodules (like emuiibo),
- You need to have at least Hekate 5.0.2 if you don't want issues related to Hekate,
- 32 bit games are unsupported,
- Cheats using directly heap addresses may not work properly while using plugins.
Changelog
0.5.2
- Fix RTLD detection for getBID() in older games like LA Noire.
0.5.1
- Add function SaltySD_GetBID() to use with plugins to retrieve buildID of running game
- Fix bug that was causing SharedMemory to not clean up upon detection of game that is 32-bit or in exceptions.txt (fixes bug in homebrew reading SharedMemory, f.e. Status Monitor Overlay, FPSLocker and ReverseNX-RT). Thanks to ~cucholix for finding this bug and testing fix.
0.5.0
- Add SharedMemory 4096B block to use with plugins.
- SaltyNX is reserving 4096 byte block to use with any app. Default purpose is to allow exchanging data in real time between homebrew and plugins without using dmnt:cht/svcDebug
0.4.0a-hotfix
- Fixed sm compability issues with Atmosphere 0.19.0+
- Thanks to SciresM for providing this fix - 2e0bd1d!
0.4.0a
- Resolves issue with nonconsistent heap reserving.
- FIFA 18-21 and Darksiders 2 are now working properly.
- EDIT: It doesn't work correctly with M.16.2 (0.16.2 EXPERIMENTAL). Works on standard 0.16.2
0.3.2a
- Fix loading plugins from titleid folders ef8ff67
It should now fix bug introduced from 0.3.0a with crashing plugins in Smash Bros and other games while using title specific plugins
- include another exception - abort loading plugins if:
titleid & 0x1F00 != 0
0.3.1a
- Fixed rare case of crashing game when trying to load hbloader in title replacement mode by disabling bootstrap in this case
- 2MB fix reverted, as this was crashing Zelda BoTW
0.3.0a
- Add support for patches (more in readme)
- Thanks to this it's possible to omit crashes with code injection if it doesn't need heap to work.
0.2.1a
- Reduced RAM usage by 320kB.
0.2a
- Ditched Spawner
- Rewrited Proc to be independent and now it's booted directly from CFW as sysmodule
- Thanks to this I could lower memory usage by 60 kB
- Added option to disable log writing (writing is enabled by default)
- Added toolbox.json to bring correct support for sysmodules managers
- Because of ditching Spawner, KIP is not possible to use anymore. That's why we have now only one package using exefs.
- saltysd_proc.elf from SaltySD folder is not used anymore, you can delete it.
0.2
- Update solving compability issues with FW 10.0.0 for people using NSP.zip
- Issue is not existing for KIP, so you don't need to update anything if you are using it (appstore is using NSP.zip)
- Delete folder 0100000000534C56 from contents/titles before updating.
0.1a 0.1.2a
