Just out of curiosity has anyone looked into the sx pro dongle to see whats on there and if the contents can be copied onto a usb stick. Then use a cable that converts the Nintendo switch connector to usb?

As far as the manual of the device makes me believe, the dongle itself does not contain the license and so does not validate your access to the full SX OS experience. I guess it comes with a separate license code for one device and that's it. I didn't receive mine yet, so I could be wrong.

And at least 3 people who have use the A5-V11 (with battery) hardware, and Fusee-Lede. Seriously, the battery version of the A5V11 is about the size of a candy bar. It fits neatly just about anywhere, and doubles as a convenient additional battery for road trips. They are also super cheap.

As for what is inside the TX dongle:

There were some posted renderings. It contains two large electrolytic capacitors, a charging circuit, a USB high speed switch, and a low-power micro controller.

There are a number of projects already being created that are either internal modchips that do the same thing, or are tiny microcontroller based injectors. (Like Ninoh-FOX's build.)

  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    Honestly after the PS3 and 360 I just went full PC
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah even bt support for Xbox one controllers are just as easy as pairing
    +1

    considering the steamdeck can emulate the switch (yikes) theres almost 0 reason to buy the switch apart from playing online and using cartridges

    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare

    I remember having to manually put in drivers and what not

    Yeah the 360 dongles sucked
