It's only been a week since Team-Xecuter made the big announcement of SX OS v2.1 with their 'cheat engine'

And now they are back and on a roll with them adding 'Docked USB Drive Support' and many other nice improvements to their 'cheat engine' and a few bug fixes!

How do you do, dear SX OS users?

Today we are back once again with a much anticipated new feature as well as various improvements to existing functionality for SX OS. While this is still labelled as BETA we've had some good success with it internally, we're looking forward to your feedback.

Lets jump into the list of changes!

• Docked USB drive support!

Yes. You read it right. You can now plug a USB mass storage device into your switch' dock and load XCI or install NSP content from there directly. No longer are you limited by the size of your microSD card when playing the switch from the comfort of your couch, but you can now enjoy TERABYTES of content by using external harddisks and such! The filesystem on the drive needs to be either FAT32 or exFAT, and the directories that are being scanned for content are equal to the ones you'd use on the microSD card.

• Updates to the cheat system
  • More accurate progress indication during cheat search
    People were reporting "freezes" during cheat searches, often times these were just due to impatience and a suboptimal UI from our end. The progress bars are more honest and update more frequently now!
  • Cheat search for exact value requires no initial dump anymore
    For 'exact value' searches a big initial dump file on your microSD is not needed, and since this is often the way people start a cheat search we decided to streamline the cheat finder process a bit. You are now prompted with a question whether you want to start an exact value search or arbitrary value search, in case of the former the process will be much faster.
  • Automatically apply/disable cheats upon toggle
    The interface for "applying" the cheats was a bit counterintuitive, you now no longer have to press the plus (+) button in order to apply cheats. They are automatically applied/disabled once you toggle them. Disabling cheats now properly works as well, so there's no need for having a dummy cheat any more to work around that limitation.
  • Ability to add cheats using the UI
    Identifying memory locations for cheats using just the console is nice, but previously there was no way of adding an actual cheat-code for a location you found to the cheat code library. This has been addressed, and there is now an interface for doing this directly from our menu.
• Show homebrew NSP icons in TX menu
  Some homebrew NSP titles were not displaying their icons properly. This has been investigated and fixed.
• Fix error 2345-0021 when in docked mode opening TX menu
  People who play/cheat in docked mode will like this fix. The frequent crashes that happened when opening the TX menu in docked mode are now a thing of the past!

That's it folks. Enjoy this BETA and let us know what you think. We have more tricks up our sleeves, more rabbits in our tophats. And we only have one gear: FORWARD.

Enjoy!

yes, Mario Maker, and his giant file size (1gb I think)

I don't like Mario maker , are there any other titles ??

I formatted my 1tb I had full of ps3 games and it ended up being not compatible. I wish I didn't now. Choose wisely.

Scribblenauts games will always be better on the WiiU than the switch. Super Mario Maker will never be on the switch. Rayman will always be better on the Wiiu. And There's more I can't think of right now.

Any games that use the game pad screen as real estate really, like Xenoblade X's map. Or games like Black Ops 2 that you can play co-op with one player on the gamepad and the other on TV.

If you are just into handheld then none of that matters really, but the gamepad 'companion to TV' function of the Wii U is still a great feature when it's used right. Sadly it rarely was; cough Starfox, cough BoTW.

Actually BOTW was going to have a gamepad based inventory on the wiiu and was mostly developed until they decided to nix it so that the Switch version of BOTW wouldn't seem inferior.

Someone remind me the difference between 2.0.1 and 2.1-2.2 again? Does 2.2 aside from cheat engine have all the features of 2.0.1 such as emunand etc?

Can you FTP into the HDD?

I don't think so. But why would you do that? Just plug your USB in the PC and you'll get greater speeds anyway.

I've been asking this but seems it has been buried under other posts without anyone noticing

so what's the procedure for unplugging the disk?
outside the SX OS menu? game closed? there's no way to unmount xci for now right, so what will happen then. will it be automatically unmounted?

If you have a game loaded, press the home button, with the game selected press Y, then select close. You are now good to unplug it.

I really dont care about speed. But for me, it would be easier to just ftp in. I will check in 10 mins if this can be done

A quick question. If you undock the Switch, with no game loaded, does it crash? Or what happens?

i already loaded and xci and nsp in one of the hdd partitions and it worked !!

Using the pad its not really my favourite and many of the games that wii u have i already also have them on ps4 . So for the gamesa that i would still like to keep i think thta a 32 gb pen drive would be more than enough :-)

lego co-op games make use of the gamepad for second player.

2.1 and 2.2 are beta versions.

2.0.1 is the stable release.

2.1 has everything 2.0.1 has plus some beta features.

2.2 has everything 2.0.1 and 2.1 have, plus some more beta features.

Whenever they finish testing more the 2.2 beta features, 2.2 features will be included in a new "stable" release.

Close the game and unplug the drive. the game will still be there as if it were inserted in the cartridge slot, but when you select in it will say the gamecard was removed or something like that.

i have a 1tb hdd with some wii u games , do you recommend me to format the hard drive to exfat and enjoy all the games from the switch .
I mean is there any game on wii u , decent games that its not still yet on the Switch ?

 

[Leozairus]

Scribblenauts games will always be better on the WiiU than the switch. Super Mario Maker will never be on the switch. Rayman will always be better on the Wiiu. And There's more I can't think of right now.

Bizarre to say Rayman runs better on Wii U when it objectively has worse performance, framerate drops etc

 

[Nerdtendo]

Now I awaited the day we install nsps TO USB drives

 

[jeroen tilmans]

Anyone know if Kingston mobilelite G4 adapter is working over USB or some other adapter?

not officially as it would highlight the switches shortcomings vs the wiiu. ie the lack of gamepad when playing on tv. Unless they come up with a way to use a handheld switch with a docked switch which I would actually love if they did that, if only to properly play some of the wiiu games.
