Hacking Team-Xecuter Announces SX OS v1.8 with improved Switch Firmware v6.0 compatibility

[flatty69]

has anyone updated to 6.0 and tested sx os 1.8 yet im still using 1.6 and still downloading games from nxfreeshop

Sx Os 2.0 update i hope they add video player.

Yes you can actually disable this yourself.

You can add this by adding the atmosphere creport main and main.npdm files to sd:/sxos/titles/0100000000000036/exefs/ .
Those creport files can be grabbed from for example SDFiles packaged by tomger, they are located under the atmosphere folder.

But wouldn't that require LayeredFS to work?

Ah, cool, but that is using LayeredFS as wurstpistole pointed out. Now other than that not working on FW 6.0 atm, I do recall you saying a couple months ago how LayeredFS seems to be what caused a number of bans.

Well I'm CDN banned and I don't plan on updating to 6.0 so the last three updates have been useless for me. But it's still good seeing TX fixing bugs and benefiting everyone else. I just hope V1.9 or V2.0 adds external harddrive support and maybe a video player (port of VLC will be great). Although they'll probably use FFmpeg.

Hard drive support is hopefully what comes next in 2.0

Don't we have homebrew for this?

No, this is not LayeredFS.

For the record, the current update quietly removed LayeredFS.

Of course, removing a marketed feature from an earlier update is totally a smart idea and not at all misleading consumers about your product.

"Quietly":

Another thing which has been addressed is the incompatibility of the current "layeredFS" implementation with firmware 6.0. SX OS will now automatically disable "layeredFS" support when running on firmware 6.0, preventing any crashes/hangs.

No, this is not LayeredFS.

Why does it not require LayeredFS, though? I mean, it's a file that gets "layered" on top of an existing system title, why would this work without LFS? I genuinely don't understand it.

"Quietly":

From what I gathered from earlier in the thread, they fully removed it, not disable it for 6.x.x.

and dock mode

and dock mode

I don’t see how they can do a dock mode... the switch must be removed from the dock to insert the dongle....

They didn't remove it quietly. They publicly announced they removed it. They'll probably add it back within the next update or two anyway. Besides SX OS can already install NSP's without needing LayeredFS. Also if you like mods just use an older version of SX OS.

Of course, removing a marketed feature from an earlier update is totally a smart idea and not at all misleading consumers about your product.

They never marketed LayeredFS on their website nor used it as a reason to buy SX OS. How is this misleading?

I am afraid switch update 6.0 would erase all nsp and xci games save files. I don't want to start over again.

 

[Buurmanzz92]

Got 6.0 Up & Running on sx os 1.8 for 2 days now. Xci & nsps work great. didn't experience any troubles since sx os 1.8 update.

How in the world would you get an idea Lila that? Of course it doesn't.

 

[aos10]

why some people are so eager to download FW 6.0 when it's not offically available?

They didn't remove it...I was able to run layeredFS just fine on sx os 1.8 with firmware 5.1.0...They only disabled it for those on firmware 6.0.

Stability.
