Development Blog

• Ryujinx Development shutdown.

  • Unfortunately the month before Ryujinx shutdown i spent a reasonable amount of time working on a fix for Ryujinx to work better with higher resolution mods, such as UltraCam for TOTK, fortunately this fix was merged in the latest build of Ryujinx, which you can find online.

  • Unfortunately Ryujinx's Development has shut down, which has left me pretty depressed for the first half of this month, I know and worked with the people briefly in there, this has caused a pretty massive hit to emulation as a whole. But after every LOW there's always a new HIGH.

  • Ryujinx hasn't gotten DMCA like Yuzu, making the development of the emulator not at risk if in the future someone decided to pick it up. If there's a team competent enough to pick up Ryujinx again, I would love to continue my contribution to emulation as a whole, as I've done with both Yuzu and Ryujinx before their takedowns...

• TOTK Optimizer (Now NX Optimizer) 3.0

  • The Optimizer as a whole has been rewritten, NX Optimizer 3.0 (Open Source) over 5000+ lines of code have already been changed/modified or rewritten over the course of the past 2 weeks, the goal of the rewrite is to make the new NX Optimizer meet a more standardized coding standards and also to make sure it supports multiple games. The main challenge with the Optimizer is working with the limited capabilities of the base Python Tkinter UI framework, but as far as things go I don't think I could've done much better after the new rewrite :). This is still in beta and it needs more work overall.

  • Read the Patch Notes Section for more information on everything that changed.

  • (WARNING) Please select the Beta Option for Tears Of The Kingdom. The art should look the same as the one underneat.

• UltraCam Echoes of Wisdom

  • This is probably going to be the last Beta for Echoes of Wisdom as it's going to become a public mod very soon with the NX Optimizer release, there's still a few things I would like to do better but overall I'm extremely satisfied with what I've been able to achieve with this game. Link's awakening is next! :).

  • These screenshots feature the new Teleportation and Time Stop features.

  • 

  • 

• UltraCam Breath of The Wild

  • Breath of the Wild is getting really close to becoming finished as well, we're so close to FPS++ perfection, yet so far. Still a few bugs left to be fixed, work has slowed down over the release of Echoes, Ryujinx and NX Optimizer. I feel very confident in this new Version, the game is finally 100% playable with Dynamic Framerate, at 120 FPS. With a few issues here and there.

  • Breath of the Wild Crashing has now been addressed.

• UltraCam Tears Of The Kingdom

  • A lot of changes are still coming to Tears of The Kingdom Ultracam, this is my Magnum Opus, the break between Echoes of Wisdom and NX Optimizer was needed to refresh my mind and better my focus around TOTK UltraCam's Development, TOTK UltraCam 3.0 will continue to be developed privately with access given to supporters, I have many wonderful things planned continuing onwards. However the public version will also get an update that fixes game issues very soon.

  • 

• DynamicFPS Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

  • This mod has staled for a little bit unfortunately, I do want to update it and perhaps add a UltraCam/Freecam to Pokemon S/V too for supporters, given the limited amount of time I have available and being a single developer working on so many project, things have became very difficult to keep up, I honestly just don't have enough time at the moment.

• Personal Notes.

  • Thank you for supporting me on Kofi/Patreon/Discord and anywhere else! I wouldn't be able to pursue what I love without your help, seriously Thank You.

  • Over the past month, I've spent more time doing things for the better in my life, which unfortunately meant i had less time then usual to work on stuff, I've realized the amount of time I spent in-front of my computer programming has been very detrimental to my health. Due to this, this update may not seem as big as my usual monthly updates, honestly the things I've pushed before were completely ridiculous for a one person to do in that short span of time. I still hope you all enjoy this update :).

Patch Notes

• Tears of the Kingdom (Now Supported by NX Optimizer)

  • Small bug fixes

  • Better memory reader and controller.

  • Utility tab has a new setting to allow for the inspection of individual memory regions, this is primarily useful for modders to determine what's eating a lot of memory or reverse engineer how memory is allocated...

  • The above also fixes bunch of issues with Memory allocation, this is mostly just groundwork for future Memory related stuff, like resolution patches, better compatibility for switch ETC.

  • (6.0.3) Fixed Talking to NPC or using Campfires causing a hard crash.

• Breath Of The Wild (Now Supported by NX Optimizer)

  • Increased the amount of internal Memory available to UltraCam

  • Fixed crashes in every single Major Area of the game.

  • Fixed FreeCam Unintentionally working in the Menu screen LOL.

  • Fixed FOV issues with the scope in certain locations.

  • Fixed a crash with Dual Joycon state controller (WARNING)(this needs more work on all UltraCams, please use a Pro Controller in your Emulator or Switch or handheld)

  • Improved TitleScreen detection...

• Echoes of Wisdom (Now Supported by NX Optimizer)

  • FreeCam Features

    • Added the ability to Teleport (same as other UltraCams)

    • Fixed a softlock from Pressing F12 key or ZL + ZR + Left Stick

    • Added a proper Gamespeed hook, despite the game not needing it for internal testing.

    • Added a Forced 120 FPS cap to Menus.

      • This is required for the game to function properly at above 120 FPS.

    • Fixed an FPS issue that causes snowballs to instantly break.

    • Fixed Aspect Ratios not working at above Height 9, rejoice steamdeck users.

    • Resolutions can now go up to a little under 1440p without issues or crashes.

    • Fixed the default FOV to be 28.0, as that's what the default FOV for the game is.
