Team-Xecuter is back again updating their SX OS

Their update v1.6 introduces something new and cool called 'Stealth Mode' which you can read all about, below in their official TX announcement:

Today, we are releasing version 1.6 of SX OS. This update addresses two important things pertaining compatibility and safety. (Two key elements on our priority list)

Lets have a look at what's new!

• Add support for 32GB XCI files (Dragon Quest Heroes 1 and 2)
  It came to our attention that 32GB XCI files were not working with SX OS. Since game compatibility is high up there on the priority list of Team Xecuter, we investigated this issue and are happy to report this has been resolved. You can now enjoy these content-packed bigger games like Dragon Quest Heroes!
• Introducing Stealth Mode
  Stealth Mode is our solution to prevent console bans. In SX OS v1.6 and onwards this feature will be enabled by default.
  • You can still disable Stealth Mode from the TX menu if you really wish to do so, however we do not recommend this (unless your Switch is already banned).
  • With Stealth Mode enabled your Switch system is not able to send any Switch personal information to Nintendo's servers while still allowing basic Internet functionality (for eg homebrew). Things like local WiFi play is also still possible!
  • Keep in mind Stealth Mode is only active when you are running SX OS! If you occasionally boot back into original Switch firmware you may expose yourself to a ban risk if you have modified your Switch system by installing NSP titles for example, so we do not recommend this!
  • Playing XCI titles in SX OS with Stealth Mode enabled should NOT get you banned when booting/using your original Switch firmware online. This is why we personally prefer our Game Cartridge emulation solution, and so should you! ;-)
  We are working on a solution to allow a clean separation between the SX OS system and your original Switch firmware. Stay tuned!

Enough chit-chat, enjoy this fine release. And keep an eye out for what's yet to come!

Does this basically mean i could play pirated games on SX OS, but if i wanted to play online with original games, i could simply just switch to normal OFW and play online there? I'm quite confused on how this works

nope

first, with stealth mode you shouldnt be able to conect with any nintendo service at all, so no online games or updates
its work with homebrews, like homebrew store or update json from edizon

first part II, you shouldnt play any pirated games online whatsoever

I see. So it basically just automatizes the process of not going online at all.
I got surprised for a second, but sounded quite impossible. Thanks for clarifying that to me.

Does this mean we can safely play our pirated games online without fear of being banned?

Reading is hard

Does running homebrew not present a ban risk if you ever again boot into OFW for online? (e.g. to update games or play legit games online) Does Homebrew not leave a trace?

 

[Draxzelex]

No because stealth mode shuts down ALL Nintendo-online related services to prevent people from getting banned.

Are pm and creport really useful ?

It most likely does

Are pm and creport really useful ?

Very useful indeed. Their usefulness outweighs their cons (of which I'm not aware of any).

 

[aos10]

excuse me, everyone is talking about pm and creport
what are those? i guess they are homebrews?
i can't find a thread about them.

• Reduced telemetry by blocking eclct sysmodule from running, also uses creport that dumps to microSD instead of uploading to Nintendo.

 

[xabier]

As someone great once said, "that is literally just pm and creport"

It blocks every communication with nintendo, even online play. So it's different.

 

[aos10]

english please, so they runs be default in any free CFW?

 

[Draxzelex]

Not by default, you need the following files in non-SX OS CFWs

There's a folder under titles that ends in 36 (not copyrighted content here) which enables creport. Under sysmodules, pm.kip blocks eclct.

I'm not the one who said it so not sure why you're quoting me

More useless features stolen from other projects, glad I switched to Hekate a few days ago.

It blocks every kind of connection of the OS to the servers. Nintendo is not receiving a thing about what you're doing while you're using SX OS in stealth mode. However, in the original firmware of the switch, i think you can still be banned, even if you haven't modded it (by installing nsps or anything). So it won't allow you to play online games on your original firmware (even if they are original and bought by you from the eshop from what i've understood. correct me if i'm wrong) but it will prevent you from getting banned by restricting any kind of interaction with Nintendo servers or online interactions.

intreasting, with that method i can use sys-netcheat, but in SX OS it's much easier however i can't use sys-netcheat i guess.

 

[huma_dawii]

They are a bit late, I'm already banned LOL... and I'm not planning on trying this for my new Nintendo Switch. Will have to wait.

No online games, No eShop, No updates
