PPC is used for setting system performance profiles including clocks for CPU, GPU, and memory.

[9.0.0+] The PPC system module is now stubbed and all its services were moved into PTM.

apm

This is "nn::apm::IManager".

This was moved to AM with [8.0.0+] and is now a shim for apm:am.

Cmd Name
0 #OpenSession
1 GetPerformanceMode
6 [7.0.0+] #IsCpuOverclockEnabled

OpenSession

Returns an #ISession.

IsCpuOverclockEnabled

No input, returns an output u8 bool.

apm:p

This is "nn::apm::IManagerPrivileged".

This service no longer exists in [8.0.0+].

Cmd Name
0 OpenSession

OpenSession

Returns an #ISession.

apm:am

This is "nn::apm::IManager".

This was added with [8.0.0+] and is the same as the old apm service.
