TX Announces SX OS v2.2 BETA with Docked USB Drive Support

It's only been a week since Team-Xecuter made the big announcement of SX OS v2.1 with their 'cheat engine'

And now they are back and on a roll with them adding 'Docked USB Drive Support' and many other nice improvements to their 'cheat engine' and a few bug fixes! :)
How do you do, dear SX OS users?

Today we are back once again with a much anticipated new feature as well as various improvements to existing functionality for SX OS. While this is still labelled as BETA we've had some good success with it internally, we're looking forward to your feedback.

Lets jump into the list of changes!
  • Docked USB drive support!
Yes. You read it right. You can now plug a USB mass storage device into your switch' dock and load XCI or install NSP content from there directly. No longer are you limited by the size of your microSD card when playing the switch from the comfort of your couch, but you can now enjoy TERABYTES of content by using external harddisks and such! The filesystem on the drive needs to be either FAT32 or exFAT, and the directories that are being scanned for content are equal to the ones you'd use on the microSD card.
  • Updates to the cheat system
    • More accurate progress indication during cheat search
      People were reporting "freezes" during cheat searches, often times these were just due to impatience and a suboptimal UI from our end. The progress bars are more honest and update more frequently now!
    • Cheat search for exact value requires no initial dump anymore
      For 'exact value' searches a big initial dump file on your microSD is not needed, and since this is often the way people start a cheat search we decided to streamline the cheat finder process a bit. You are now prompted with a question whether you want to start an exact value search or arbitrary value search, in case of the former the process will be much faster.
    • Automatically apply/disable cheats upon toggle
      The interface for "applying" the cheats was a bit counterintuitive, you now no longer have to press the plus (+) button in order to apply cheats. They are automatically applied/disabled once you toggle them. Disabling cheats now properly works as well, so there's no need for having a dummy cheat any more to work around that limitation.
    • Ability to add cheats using the UI
      Identifying memory locations for cheats using just the console is nice, but previously there was no way of adding an actual cheat-code for a location you found to the cheat code library. This has been addressed, and there is now an interface for doing this directly from our menu.
  • Show homebrew NSP icons in TX menu
    Some homebrew NSP titles were not displaying their icons properly. This has been investigated and fixed.
  • Fix error 2345-0021 when in docked mode opening TX menu
    People who play/cheat in docked mode will like this fix. The frequent crashes that happened when opening the TX menu in docked mode are now a thing of the past!
That's it folks. Enjoy this BETA and let us know what you think. We have more tricks up our sleeves, more rabbits in our tophats. And we only have one gear: FORWARD.

--< Team-Xecuter - Rocking the Switch in 2018 and beyond! >--
Enjoy! :)

That's a pretty nifty setup, mind sharing where you bought the dock?

Is the power bank powering the usb hdd, which is then connected to the portable dock?

Also, have you tried installing NSP updates via a usb drive?

Placed it on a ex fat usb flashdrive root folder, but can't see anything in the Installer tab.

It's Coov SH500 Pro (google it). Perfect for SXOS IMHO lol. You can use the usb hub without any power supply. Use usb hub with power supply without connecting to the TV (no black screen on the switch as original dock).

Yes, my Seagate 1.5TB HDD as exfat (512K cluster) single cable + internal SD as exfat load all in one in one list. All nsps and xcis in HDD must be on the root.

Yes, Windows, default format method. There are plenty of options to choose from. I reckon it doesn't matter at all, even with 256K it should work just fine.

Defends on the size of your HDD.

Usb3.0 port for sure.

Hey guys, sorry to bump the question again but how do the priorities work?

Lets say you boot from an SD with XCI's on the root. You then pop in the USB HDD with XCI's on it. What does the list show?

Thanks!

Two questions I can't see along the thread:

- If the firmware of the Switch not support exFat (because old versions, 3.X, 4.X), ¿the external usb drive can be formated in exFat, or must be Fat32 like the SD Card?

- ¿You can install a NSP from the external USB drive (to the SD Card) using Tinfoil?

All that using SXOS.

My idea is using Tinfoil (inside SXOS) for install NSP skipping the firmware upgrade...

Thanks!!
