TX Releases Another Update To Their SX OS, with lots of nice improvements in v1.4

We have not heard from TX for a while, but don't worry, they back with nice new update to their SX OS, check out v1.4 below:

SX OS v1.4 Announcement​

Good day, loyal users!

While we chip away at many different features for SX OS and additions to our SX hardware family we took a break to prepare an update for SX OS with some exciting new functionality and outstanding bug fixes.

Let's have a look at what's new and fixed in this release:

• Integrated NSP installer
  With our last update we introduced the possibility of installing eShop NSP titles. However, this relied on using external tools and wasn't very user friendly. In this release we bring our own integrated NSP installer as part of our menu system. This is the neatest and easiest way of installing NSP titles, enjoy!
• Integrated homebrew launcher
  Launching homebrew used to be done by launching NX HBMenu by holding R when entering the album. While we kept this possibility (mostly for developers), you can now also launch your favorite homebrew directly from our own menu!
• IR / motion plus issue fixed
  A few games (like 1-2-Switch and Resident Evil) were suffering from freezes when enabling the joycon IR camera or motion controls.
• Allow unsigned NCA
  People asked us if we could get rid of the NCA integrity checks, so we did! Custom NCA files, modified NCA files and repackaged NCA files should all work fine now.
• Display SX OS version in menu
  To better distinguish the different versions of SX OS we introduced a small version number display in our menu.
• LayeredFS fixes for 4.1.0
  There were certain issues with 'LayeredFS' for people on firmware 4.1.0. If you use 'LayeredFS' on that specific firmware there's good news for you: these issues have been identified and fixed!

And that's that for this release. We have quite the backlog of feature requests and todo's on our plate, but trust we'll get there!

Noob question.
Installing NSP games with the CWF SX OS 1.4 on a MicroSD will allow me to play the installed NSP games on the OFW? Or will I need to the Jig+Sx Pro combo to run the NSPs

you'll need to be in some kind of sig patching firmware in order to play non-legit nsps

So only in the SX os, I will see the installed NSP games?

You will see it, but "An error occured" on OFW

No. You need to be in CFW with the sigpatch (SXOS) to run the game. In OFW you will see the icon, but not able to run it (Can update it though, but not recommended)

I thought sx os had sig patching?

They need a game dumper and it will be pretty comprehensive

Cheats and emunand and it will be complete!

Guys, any tips on installing .nsp without getting banned? Can I update them via the OFW?

If you don't mind a possible ban (or sometime in the future) then only install updates offline (via the update .nsp)

For me, launching Homebrew directly after installing NSP`s crashes the console. Tried 3 times, crashed 3 times with different homebrews.

 

[comput3rus3r]

can anybody confirm dlc works?

Should report this to @garyopa since he seems to be their spokesperson.

NXShell works for me.

Same. Had a slight delay the first time, worked fine every time after

 

[Albytrozz]

TX could have given a bit better instructions on how to install NSP... I tried installing Stardew Valley but it said something about 'unable to install/missing Title ID'.

To be fair it was the first and only one I've tried so far, and I have a feeling I'm missing some kind of step... what did I miss?

(Also, if you see this post ConcernedApe, know that I did already buy it on Switch, just trying to put it back on it in a post SX OS world hahaha)

can anybody confirm dlc works?

Yes. I believe somewhere on page 3, it was confirmed.
