Ultra is a functional custom firmware for Nintendo Switch, with a focus on overclocking and an improved user experience.

Ultra 2.2 Supports HOS 18.1.0 and all console revisions

Features of Ultra

  • Pre-configured OC Switchcraft (Successor to OC-Suite) with presets.
  • The best overclocking customizer for Switch - Ultra-Tuner, that allows you to customize overclocking right from the console. It was the first, and remains unique.
  • The CFW is as light as possible. There are no unnecessary things in it, only minimum necessary for overclocking and comfortable use.
  • Modular design. A minimum of applications/plugins/overlays are included, but you can always add more via the bundled Updater.
  • Choice of cooling system preset, either noisy but cold or quiet but hot.
  • Custom Ultra Monitor with FPS and system metrics.
  • Regular updates, and an active community.

Composition of Ultra

  1. Atmosphere - Atmosphère, custom firmware for the Nintendo Switch.

  2. Hekate - Custom Nintendo Switch graphical bootloader, firmware patcher, toolkit and more.

  3. Ultra Tuner - Package for Ultra Paw (fork of Ultrahand), which allows you to fine-tune the OC parameters for your console. In case of unstable overclocking, or if you want to increase the performance of your console, Ultra Tuner is your indispensable assistant.

  4. OC-Switchcraft, a fork of OC-Suite - The overclocked atmosphere loader by B3711, allows you to squeeze the power of the Xbox One out of the N.Switch. Updated in time to support new Atmosphere features.

  5. Installed Payloads:

  6. Installed Homebrew

    • AiO Switch Updater - Program to update Ultra to the current version, as well as to download cheats.
    • Daybreak - A program for updating OS.
    • DBI - The best file manager, save manager and program installer on the console. If you need a different localization - Updater has a choice of EN-RU-PTBR-ZHCN.

  7. Installed Modules

    • SaltyNX - Background module allowing to modify files/processes in console, supports plugins. Not compatible with 32-bit games (list on the project's github).
    • sys-clk - Module responsible for overclocking CPU, memory and GPU - for better performance. I change versions from different authors from time to time. Original authors: Meha/hanai3Bi, lineon, p-sam.
    • nx-ovlloader - This module is used to switch the installed modules.
    • sys-patch - Patches the system to run unsigned software instead of sigpatches.
    • Ultrahand Overlay - Special overlay-menu for interacting with the system: overclocking, controlling modes via ReverseNX, enabling cheats, etc. Also allows to use your own packages, for example, Ultra Tuner.
      • Ultra-Overlay, a mod of sys-clk - Overlay for controlling sys-clk module. Slightly modified by me, but without digging into sources.
      • Status Monitor, a fork of Status Monitor - Overlay that allows you to monitor console parameters in real time. It can act as an FPS counter. You change preset of Micro-overlay appearance in Updater.
