Team-Xecuter shows off one of the SX PRO review samples before it gets shipped out to reviewers!

It is only a few days away before SX OS lands on your Nintendo Switch console, and you can enjoy the world of 'backup games' and 'homebrew' support on the latest v5.1.0 firmware, and as such TX has released one more announcement before the reviewers get their hands on the SX PRO which is shipping out this week worldwide to various resellers with preorders, so check it out below:

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

Please find final product & packaging pictures with this announcement. This is from one of the 100 review samples that will be shipped this week. If you are on the review copies list, you do not need to email us: We will send you tracking once shipped.

For reseller information, the packaging dimension and weight with product and cable: Weight: 30g. Dimensions: 10*7*1.4cm

We want to confirm that SX OS official launch date is June 15th. Remember this is the day we ship units to vendors, so your own tracking number from the reseller will be a few days later. Also, because this is very large product launch, we can't deliver all preordered units on D-day. If you placed your order late, you might have to wait a week more for your distributor to receive more stocks after he clears its first preorders.

We are working 24/7 right now to make the delay to deliver all preorders as short as possible.

As usual, a few Q&A that came back regularly:

• Q: Is SX affected by the dreaded "battery desync" problem?
  A: As far as we are aware this battery desync problem currently only occurs when running Linux on your Switch.
  While extensively testing SX OS, including booting SX OS with AutoRCM we have not ran into a single battery desync issue ourselves.
  SX OS itself isn't based on Linux. We *do* allow people to run Linux (and other payloads) through our "external payload" functionality. This is at your own risk.
  If we had to give the community a hint as to where to start looking into this "battery desync" problem we'd suggest looking into how the Fuel Gauge IC (MAX17050, I2C1 addr 36) is being used by Nintendo's OS and by Linux.

• Q: If I boot in OFW mode and play my original purchased game online, am I safe?
  A: Yes, you are safe to play original games online in OFW mode.

• Q: Does SX OS plays the original games in CFW mode?
  A: Yes, it does.

• Q: If I download eShop games to an SD card, can I also run SX OS on that card?
  Or do I need separate cards for Nintendo eShop games and SX OS games?
  A: You can use the same SD card.

Next week, the first reviews will be online, we are sure they will be excellent as we expect!

Team-Xecuter, Rocking the Switch in 2018!

Who says TX don't care about the community?
"If we had to give the community a hint as to where to start looking into this "battery desync" problem we'd suggest looking into how the Fuel Gauge IC (MAX17050, I2C1 addr 36) is being used by Nintendo's OS and by Linux."
That's mighty nice of them.

*cough cough* "HELP US FIGURE IT OUT PLEASE!" I'm kidding of course, but still possible they may be fishing for help on the issue.

Doesn't seem like it since their OS has no issues with it. Re-read their comment. Their intention in it is quite clear.

Yeah but don't give trolls any ideas.

Ive seen those hands before...i just cant nail it... It will come to me.

 

[matias3ds]

Since were getting the OS on the 15th
Does that mean we also get the OS Key on the 15th????

Thats what everybody is asking about i even mailed the xecuter team with that question , and no answer so far :-(

No one knows yet how SX Pro buyers will get their licenses. Maybe via mail, maybe on a piece of paper with the SX Pro itself. Either way, you can't do anything about it. If I was a shop I wouldn't send out the licenses earlier than the SX Pro is shipped. Imagine people getting their licenses from the shop as soon as they arrive and then canceling the pre-order / refunding the money. Greaaaaat. So better don't get your hopes up on receiving the license on 15th if you pre-ordered SX Pro..

 

[comput3rus3r]

For the people that bought the Os only , will they send the license code on the same day or it will also be delivered with delay ?
I mean is just a license code , right ?

They've already stated that it will be available sometime after they've shipped out Sx-Pro. My guess is they'll try to make it so that SX-Pro buyers and SX-OS stand alone buyers get their products at the same time.

Stop spreading the narrative that OS shipment is held for Pro buyers. That sounds stupid on so many levels.

Why would they cancel preorder if they specifically ordered that bundle for the dongle? If they only wanted the OS they would've ordered the OS.

 

[Paiuand]

Also if we can safely play the games we own on ofw, is there any need for emunand?

 

[PriMieon]

Don't forget guys, piracy is wrong! It will consume your soul with guilt.

What a sweet little dongle this is. So tiny and useful. Wait.. wait am I saying? What a horrible night to have a sweet little dongle!

"What a horrible night" ghost truct reference? Cannot cannot remember that exact phrase being said but it sounds like something that could originate from ghost trick and with your Avatar I thought I'd ask. Love that game~~

 

[scionae]

Now let's wait for the OS to be ripped apart owo

Came to look at a discussion about the device, instead I got a discussion about nails. I though I was going to be the only grossed out one.

 

[jramirex]

No amount of soap and water will get rid of the shit that gets stuck under those nails after wiping. Shit is gross

Does not matter when you are filthy rich commercial pirate, you just have a toilet slave girl that her only job is to wipe that shit out of your ass when the time comes!

 

[jramirex]

Still gross, no matter how you slice it

 

[blahblah]

Only on GBATemp do people whine about 'commercial pirates'. It is a relatively recent phenomenon that console piracy has been 'free'. In the old days, that always involved buying hardware specifically designed for warez.

I think in this case is because involves buying software, the dongle is really insignificant. So some people are upset about that.

I have nothing against commercial or open source pirates by the way. Just giving my neutral view of this matter.
