Everyone has been wondering how things are moving along with getting the SX PRO devices into the hands of the official resellers, and today we had the pleasure to be given an exclusive tour of the inside of the Team-Xecuter factory, and we took some cool photos of the assembly line in operation, and at the same time the developers took a break out of their busy schedule to answer some more of your questions you been having recently since the last SX update a few days ago.

The clock is ticking and we are getting closer to Xecuter SX line launch date.

We wanted to share some of the pictures of the first units coming out of our assembly lines and of the packaging for SX Pro. We are very satisfied with the product quality and we are certain you will be as well. We will have some video and maybe another announcement coming and then it will be TIME!

Before we leave you, our usual Q&A to your most popular questions.

• Q: Is SX OS compatible with firmware 5.1.0
  A: Of course. And as we stated before, it will be compatible with the next updates as well. We are offering a future proof solution.

• Q: Will the SX OS for people who bought it 'stand alone' be delivered before the SX OS for people who bought SX Pro?
  A: Not necessarily. SX Pro will be shipped in the days to come to distributors. SX OS will be unlocked a bit after the reviewers get their units (all reviewers receive SX Pro).
  So depending on the speed of delivery to your distributor and then to you, SX Pro could come before SX OS stand alone. It probably will be very close.

• Q: Why is there - and + symbols engraved in the SX Pro dongle?
  Since USB-C devices can be plugged in either way, people are worried if dongle plugged in upside down, the + on left and - on right, and SX label facing down, that the Switch will blew up or get bricked, etc.
  A: They are here just for cosmetic reasons. The - symbol is also the LED window.

• Q: Yikes, those are two huge caps in render picture? Is that going to taser my Switch, damage my system, or zap me!
  A: Super Cap’s actually (super-capacitor), 0.35F 2.7V, given the transport issues with Lithium based batteries SuperCap’s are fast becoming the go to temporary power source.
  No zapping ( very low voltage ) and we limit the charge current to ~400mA peak for either USB port.

• Q: Huh, two caps, how do they get 'charged'? Do I have now and then plug my dongle into micro-USB cable to charge it, what happens when it runs out of power? -- Why not battery instead? -- Does it instead drain my Switch battery, what happens if I leave it plugged in.
  A: The SuperCap’s are charged from either usb port ( USB-C or Micro USB ). The caps offer approximately 1 week standby time with enough energy left for one boot, or at least 5 successive boots without the opportunity to auto-charge. Charge to 80% is achieved (automatically) within 1-2 seconds of entry into the Nintendo start menu. We are working reducing that considerably … (see above for why not battery). Because we are powered by s-cap’s we have a very power conscious design.
  Leaving the dongle in the console for more than a minute is pointless but will do no harm in any way to the dongle and drain very little battery ( currently we draw ~25mA but will work on reducing that considerably after ~1-2 minutes charge mode).

• Q: Can I charge my Switch via dongle?
  Using just micro-usb cable, removing the need of needing a proper usb-c cable.
  A: Sadly no, our intent for the micro USB port was for charging the dongle and firmware updates, but might be something we will consider for future hardware revisions, thanks.

• Q: There been reports of cables, and docks without that bricked the battery charging circuit, are we at risk with SX Pro solution?
  A: No, simply because we do not support charging. The dongle uses both USB ports only for receiving charge.

• Q: Is TX coming up with solution for those that leave their Switch always 'docked'?
  Its nice, that is portable, but some users never go 'portable', they are DOCK only fans, what about them?
  A: If the demand is there, it is something we can develop.

not really according to your seller, you kight get them 20-23 june maybe before that even

 

[naddel81]

if you hate TX that much you certainly won't take bribe money from them. he was clearly trolling.

Why are BigBlueBox still the only ones being able to dump cartridges?
We will probably never see the Limited Run cartridges : https://www.limitedrungames.com/search?q=SWITCH+[PREORDER]

Will SX support cartridge dumping?

When TX CFW will be able to run Eshop dumps, you won't need Limited Run cartridges or physical releases in general.

There's a homebrew app out there that allows us to dump cart's, but I'm just waiting for easier methods via SX or Atmosphere before trying it.

i miss @SoulOfGazza ;(

 

[ehnoah]

Without Emunand SX isnt even worth for me sadly.

 

[Xandroz]

he is one massive troll for a guy his age

 

[tinkle]

a) You're gonna get banned either way
b) if you own SX, there's no need for an emunand; we have a bootloader exploit already, emunand was a product of a time when we didnt have such privileges.
c) there is no reason to stay on lower firmware

 

[Maximilious]

c) there is no reason to stay on lower firmware

To you maybe. I'd love to not boot using a jig+dongle everytime, which is possible on 4.1.0 and lower.

 

[alrashdy2]

guys when u get banned does the whole console get banned or just the account used?

 

[DiJornios]

guys when u get banned does the whole console get banned or just the account used?

Your ip I think?

 

[DKB]

Hardware ban, so the whole console. I believe it bans a physical part of your switch.

 

[DiJornios]

lmao just go on an incognito tab

 

[Lacius]

a) You're gonna get banned either way

Using an offline emuNAND for CFW and an online OFW minimizes the risk of a ban.

b) if you own SX, there's no need for an emunand; we have a bootloader exploit already, emunand was a product of a time when we didnt have such privileges.
c) there is no reason to stay on lower firmware

Some people want untethered exploits, regardless of whether or not they're coldboot exploits. People on 1.0.0-4.1.0 have good reason to stay there.

guys when u get banned does the whole console get banned or just the account used?

In a manner of speaking, both get banned. The console itself is banned, and the account can't be moved.

How many times have you cold booted in the last month?

 

[DocKlokMan]

How many times have you cold booted in the last month?

I cold booted about 12 times just yesterday.

 

[Maximilious]

How many times have you cold booted in the last month?

I don't run Hekate, so zero, but when I travel for work and conserve battery by turning my unit off it's one less hassle to deal with.
