Its only been a couple of days, since the exclusive pics of TX factory, and now we have a brand-new demo video from the SX team!

Welcome to one of the last Team Xecuter announcement before we let the reviewers take over!

As promised, here is a new video of our latest SX OS running games and homebrew under 5.1.0. This is pretty close to what you will have in the V1.0 of SX OS. But we are still working...

As a quick fact update, during our latest tweaking before launch, we now have 10 (instead of original 5) successive boots without the opportunity to auto recharge. Standby time remains the same (approximately 1 week) and battery drainage has been dropped from 25mA to 13mA while console is awake and dongle plugged in.

• Q: Can I play my Switch running SX OS while being docked?
  A: Absolutely. You just need to have it undocked when you power up your Switch to load SX OS. Once done, dock it and play for as long as you don't completely power it off again.

• Q: I know I'm asking too much and it's early, (sorry) would it be possible to get Bluetooth audio (or even Bluetooth controller) support within the CFW.
  I know a lot of people would dig that on other forums (including a clean internet browser that has YouTube unblocked) if this is possible?
  A: If it is doable, we will try. Please read text below about such requests, you are fully entitled to request anything, we will do our best in order of user's most wanted features.

We receive hundreds of email daily with hundreds of request/suggestions. We thank you for them. We do not reply to everyone, although most people do receive a reply, but rest assure we read them all. And we take note. We have requests for emunand, Nand back up, themable SX OS, soldered version... the list goes on!

SX OS and its affiliated products (first one being SX Pro) are a work in progress. You paid not only for a device but also for support.
And we will bring it to you. Most on demand or important features will be added first, some are already being worked on as you read this, and we will take it step by step.

Thank you for the trust you placed in us, we will deliver!

Team Xecuter, Rocking the Switch in 2018!

Well, I'm wondering if it won't be RE'd before long.

It will be RE'd and released as a standalone payload, once its on RAM we can get everything. Let's just hope we don't get a Gateway situation....

I am not saying it makes much of a difference, I just ideologically would prefer TX to share there methods and code and feel that SX OS could get the "next big thing" in the scene later than Atmosphere due to TX having to implement it themselves.

Right now SX OS looks better than Atmosphere though tbh

It could just as easily turn out to be the opposite. As the saying goes, a camel is a horse designed by committee..

so what's the deal with charging the dongle and how do we charge it?

I don't think they told any one yet did they?

A camel is a highly efficient machine for its function and not merely a misshapen horse, but I do agree that the Switch community can sometimes be detriment to itself. Only time will tell, regardless we will get our toys.

 

[KTroopA]

when do reviews of SX PRO drop?

 

[Bitchplease]

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.


And the new info is 10 boots

Exactly, it's a win-win situation for Switch owners so the squabbling is silly.

It charges itself automatically when you plug it into the switch.

It just lets it hold a charge for more boots. Essentially it just saves you like 5 seconds every few boots..(the 5 seconds being the time it takes those capacitors to charge)

It's a win-win situation, but innovation is created as a result of constructive conflict. The community as a whole would benefit from the source, but now I realize I am being cantankerous.

Hey @garyopa, could you ask if the liscence from the dongle can be backed up in case the dongle gets lost or stolen so we can use it via other means (PC/Android)?

 

[tinkle]

Can't wait to pirate the pirates, they have actually done a really good job so far, my only problem is it being closed source :/

Oh so they did a good job, but you still feel entitled not to pay them for it?

 

[MionissNio]

Can you update the games? What I see is not, Nintendo would probably ban yiu.

 

[Deleted User]

Showcasing homebrew using tetriswitch? A nice coincidence we have got there :^).

 

[Draxzelex]

Still wondering how they're gonna respond to the Mariko Switches.

 

[Deleted-442439]

Nintendo and other game developers also did a good job, but I am not paying $60 for Wii U ports I already own. What TX is offering will be offered free and open source, why I should pay them for a OS license is beyond me.

 

[Nisem0n0]

Thats pretty neat. My switch has been sitting on 3.0.1 and i haven't touched it since i beat Mario Odyssey, which would be a couple months. Might dust it off now considering this is for all firmwares.

 

[Dvdxploitr]

AutoRCM...isn't that dangerous?

 

[DocKlokMan]

Yes you can update them. To the Switch they just show up like a cartridge you inserted.
