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

And RS said they don't, so it's a non-issue.

 

[blahblah]

ITT: Whining that a decades old piracy outfit has violated the GPL.

No one (except for anti-piracy whiners, who object on different grounds) cares. Those pretending to care are concern trolling.

1 more thing: eshop titles can be launched right?
I thought dev menu installs couldnt be played

 

[zaku]

I think everyone is glad the brick code is gone and let's remember nobody is bricked by it.

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

No there aren't. The only huge issue was the brick code. Surprise people don't give a fuck who wrote the code.

 

[SomeKindOfUsername]

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.

You misunderstood me. What I'm saying is the developers who painstakingly wrote code only to have it used for profit while being subsequently mocked and insulted by both TX and scene leechers are the ones who have every right to retire or just not release their hax anymore.

 

[ultramario1998]

Surprise people dont give a fuck who wrote the code.

surprise yes we do

Like what? Maybe you care but most people don't give a fuck who wrote the code. The only thing they did wrong is not credit the

that's still a gigantic issue.

 

[lukhart]

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.

You don't need to like it. But coming to a SX update thread to be picking on TX is kinda childish.

And what TX does doesn't affect any of those things. Homebrew, Atmosphere, etc, they're all going to come and stay. You and me know this.

Let people who wants to pirate enjoy TX. All this bickering against it won't change those who already use it.

If anti-piracy Reswitch wankers want to leave, they are welcome to. No one will miss them.

 

[Lumince]

surprise yes we do


that's still a gigantic issue.

Tbh, I don't.

 

[Darth Meteos]

Good shit, man. I like it, it's going to go a long way toward making people more trusting of TX's practices.

 

[ultramario1998]

but then TX won't have any more code to steal, which means no more updates

 

[blahblah]

but then TX won't have any more code to steal, which means no more updates

The only stuff that matters is the ability to launch pirated games. That is in right now.

That's blatantly untrue and only goes to show you just don't understand the fundamentals of the situation.

 

[FierceDeityLinkMask]

but then TX won't have any more code to steal, which means no more updates

TX were heavily involved in the Xbox 360 scene from what I have read. It's not impossible to think they could get by without other groups. It might take more time, but I doubt updates would stop.

 

[DayVeeBoi]

These guys just don't seem to get that part of it.

 

[YigglyPoof]

“I don’t care about it therefore it’s a non-issue”

Could you be any more narcassistic?

 

[Chary]

And thus the roundabout debates begin anew once more.

 

[zaku]

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.

And Nintendo can sue them for making piracy tools. A illegal/unethical group did more illegal/unethical shit .big whoop.

Oh SX does have flaws but the only thing that concerned me was the brick code. I couldn't care less if their codes were stolen. I'm pirating Nintendo games I'm doing worse thing than them.

1 more thing: eshop titles can be launched right?

I want to know this as well. I was under the impression that dev menu could install .nsp, but you wouldn't be able to launch them unless you have a valid ticket. Does this mean that SX OS has sigpatched eShop titles now too?

I suppose I could always just wait for a better/more stable installer to come out, but I've got a 2nd switch to mess around with and I'm not terribly concerned if it gets banned.

EDIT: Wouldn't it be nice if people could actually stay on topic instead of arguing about stolen code? This isn't the first time this has happened with a backup loading device, and it won't be the last time. Sketchy Chinese companies are gonna be sketchy. Deal with it.

Maybe so. That doesn't change the fact that I'm legitimately concerned about the state of the scene.

That said, this thread is going to hell. Leaving is probably best tbh
