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.

Like I said a few pages ago, I'm pretty sure that layeredFS only works on 5.x due to them just using the kernel patches on github, which don't currently work under 5.x. I'd love some confirmation but I'm pretty sure at this point.

5.1 here

Thank you blessed TX for supplying us with this update, it just shows that they can do no wrong and their product is utterly perfect. Thank you TX.

There are a lot of really sycophantic posts here. I have a TX SX Pro and it’s great, but the fact that I like their product doesn’t suddenly mean I should be blind to what they do wrong. It is perfectly correct to call them out for GPL violations, brick code etc. Whether or not a person likes TX has nothing to do with it.

It's been acknowledged countless times. What can you do about it? Piss and moan like your input matters (this certain case has nothing to do with anyone in this thread) or just accept it and move on. The former is super easy, I know. Makes the most sense.

 

[huma_dawii]

I know they should at least recognize the real developers behind LayeredFS and more... but isnt that what open source is? bein OPEN to the public use? I dont know why the whining xD

Finally someone said it.

hexkyz's response to this update

Jokes aside:
- LayeredFS support - Public code;
- eShop NSP support - Using DevMenu... Seriously?
- Battery desync fix - Available in @CTCaer's hekate fork;
- Hide OSX temp files - A real improvement;
- Removed eMMC password lock - Is this a joke?

Please, keep up the hard work.

I wonder what is the highest Switch FW this currently works on?

 

[ultramario1998]

They still are legally bound to obey the license that comes with the code, which includes accreditation.

Any current FW..

Legality is literally thrown out the fucking window with this. Do you seriously think they give a shit about the law at this point?

This forum has succumb to the worst possible outcome.. Ugh.

 

[ultramario1998]

Also, thought this was interesting: The backup loader (the part that you pay for) is also mostly built ontop of atmosphere.

No I don't think they care. That's the whole point. Doesn't mean I'm obliged to not care.

You're trying so hard

I thought this was obvious? He said it before..

Just poking a bit of fun, no harm done

 

[ultramario1998]

He probably did, but there were some people thinking that the backup loading was All Original Work, which made it totally OK to steal code.

Wrong on both counts. (Not you, those ppl)

No, it’s not. The code is licensed as GPLv2 which requires TX to release their own code under the same license. They can use the code, they just have to follow the license by releasing their modifications.

MFKRS! They deserve all the heat they got for the brick code. > : (

 

[hellogbatemp]

OK nothing new. see so many people stunned about updates hekate available the last few day

 

[Absintu]

Well if you guys like to bash some hackers cause they stole code. Bash Samsung, bash Apple, bash 1000 companies that steal stuff from others. Industrial espionage is here since the 70's.
And when it comes to modding or hacking systems, it's even greater.

 

[Megadriver94]

I honestly thought that this day wouldn't come until early-mid 2019 or even 2020...

 

[Deleted User]

a question do you need a license to run LayeredFS?

 

[astronautlevel]

Atmosphere is open source. Doesn't that mean they can use it? Do they have to credit it or something?

This thread is 23 pages long so I'm not sure if you've already gotten an answer, but Atmosphere is licensed under the GPLv2 license, which means you're not allowed to use code from it legally unless your project is licensed under GPL as well.
