TX Releases Another Update To Their SX OS, with a big new feature: 'eShop NSP Support'

TX does not seem to want to take a break, they have now pumped out yet another major update to their SX OS, check it out below:

We are back once again with an exciting update for SX OS. Let's skip the drama for now and jump straight to the list of new goodies:

• Add LayeredFS support
  Are you excited about any upcoming Game Mods for switch games? Well, we are! To accommodate this we have added what is commonly referred to as "LayeredFS" support. In short what this allows you to do is override specific files from a game with modified copies that are loaded from your microSD's (ex)FAT partition.
  
  Place your custom game files under the following locations on the microSD root:
  - /sxos/titles/<titleid>/exefs/
  - /sxos/titles/<titleid>/romfs/​
  We can't wait to see what cool mods the community will come up with!

• Add eShop NSP support
  This adds support for installing and launching installed eShop NSP files. This is still rough around the edges and for advanced users only. To install NSP files you need a legitimate copy of the DevMenu, which can be launched currently via LayeredFS. We are still working on adding a custom and easy to use NSP installer to our own menu system. Stay tuned!
  WARNING: We do not recommend playing online with installed eShop NSP games without a valid ticket, as this WILL lead to a console ban without a doubt.

• Add low battery reconfiguration on bootup
  Some users were having battery issues after playing around with Switch Linux custom payload. This fixes the "battery desync" issue every time you boot your switch. If you weren't use Switch Linux there's nothing to worry, otherwise; enjoy your penguins AND enjoy your horizon OS!

• Hide OSX Temp files in game selection menu
  If you were pestered by bogus entries in the game selection menu chances are high this is because you are using OSX (and Finder). We simply hide those files from the menu now. All cleaned up!

• Removed eMMC password lock
  It seems a perfectly safe and easily reversible hacker challenge we put in place for aspiring hackers has been blown out of proportion. We are sad to see so many false claims on the internet and to avoid any further false accusations and 'fake news' we decided to get rid of it. Namaste.

That's it for today! We'll be back soon. Team-Xecuter doesn't take a break. While others moan on social media we work day and night to bring you the best experience on Nintendo Switch.

It says eShop NSP's. We can use them without SX. I'm more interested in using the ones I've made from carts. Anyone try a homebrew one? They are a simple PFS0 format.

 

[Essasetic]

Pirates are going to pirate, and SX is going to steal open sourced code and spin brick code into a good thing. That’s just how it is

They removed the brick code. The homebrew support is completely free on their OS. So please do research and read the article properly before commenting.

looks those hackers are not that competent at all. lol

Not true.... Those hackers were indeed able to unbrick... Aside from that there claims it was a challenge sounds like a load of PR BS to me and even if it was indeed a challenge there claims it was perfectly safe is a load of crap.... Brick code can always accidently trigger. It may not be very likely but bugs can and do exist in all software and one of those bugs could easily trigger the code.... Effectively bricking the average user.

You can never satisfy the TX haters. Chill out people, this is not a thread to spill your salt. Pirates are going to pirate, which means stealing, be it code or games.

Doesn't mean I have to like it.

I, personally, don't care about piracy. I'm aware that most do, but I care far more about the homebrew scene/state of layeredFS. What TX are doing is in direct conflict with those goals.

He never said they didnt... He said there claims are a PR stunt to settle everyone down because they were very upset about the code.

BUT how many average tempers got their switch bricked because of TX?

 

[FierceDeityLinkMask]

I would say keep that tf out of this chat lol

Thank You.

BUT how many average tempers got btheir switch bricked because of TX?

How many isn't the point.... The point is it could have happened.

Seeing the kinds of reactions and attitudes around this scene, if the ReSwitched team or any other hacking group decided to either not attempt cracking future hardware or keep their hax private forever then I wouldn't blame them.

 

[thealgorithm]

If they have removed the sig check for eshop games, would this also work if downloading a title via rei's installer and then running it via SXOS 1.3? Trying out the devmenu approach right now..

 

[gamesquest1]

"We have bricked your console as a challenge for you to unbrick it." Does that even make sense, or am I misunderstanding what it says? :/

to be fair if people are capable of getting to the point where they could boot the hacked payload, recovering from an Emmc lock should be trivial, honestly it was never going to stop a would be cracker attempting to crack txos, only slow them down a tiny bit having to restore backups between crack attempts

 

[Pacote]

How the hell is fake news when they just publicly admitted to have an emmc lock in place (that would brick your switch) and are now removing?

smh

Waiting for the emunand cause im not updating past 2.0.0 and risking losing a possible coldboot in the future.

yeeeeeeah sure

 

[zaku]

Ah I see the new talking point has immediately shifted to ''stealing others code'

 

[ultramario1998]

yeah, because surprise, there are still huge issues in SX's design

How do you figure? I mean I know what youre saying... What I'm saying is what makes you feel the hatred of people towards TX is unfounded? They stole code from other developer and sold it as there own for profit and this whole brick fiasco "hacker challenge" or otherwise is still a big load of crap.

 

[Lumince]

So this only installs eshop games? no nca support to install updates? Well I suppose devmenu can do that anyways. But now I really want to try to get the devmenu from nca to xci. But Id rather use the patched romfs and exefs devmenu.... Last time I tried to boot an xci with the devmenu in it... it did not go so well.

 

[YigglyPoof]

Ah I see the new talking point has immediately shifted to ''stealing others code'

It’s not a talking point, they literally broke the law. They could be sued if RS really wanted to.

And it’s been a problem for quite a while now, no need to pretend like SX doesn’t have its flaws.

 

[Muskusrat]

Still no sorting options in the game select screen? O well hopefully in a future updat. For the rest great support.

You either like it or hate it. People only wanted it for the piracy. They don't care about stolen code or brick code. They are literally only buying it to steal lol People can hate all they want, but it won't stop people from buying it.
