TX is on roll, release after release, and today's big release is brand-new SX OS v2.3 BETA

As you read thru TX's announcement below, you will quickly see that is jam-packed with all the features you have been requesting recently like SD EmuNAND and USB Homebrew, so check it out below:

Your favorite superheroes from Team Xecuter are back with another SX OS update.​

In v2.3 beta of SX OS we have some exciting new functionality that you, the community, has been requesting a lot. As you know, we value your feedback and support.. so your wishes are our command!

Let's have a look at the changelog:

• SD emuNAND support
  Since the introduction of our emuNAND feature we got a lot of comments about our initial decision to make the emuNAND data live on the actual system NAND. After lots of hard work we are happy to say we now have a workable solution for storing your emuNAND partition data on your microSD card. This has the upside of not using up any space on your Switch. In order to use the new microSD emuNAND system you will *not* have to format your microSD card. Simply enter the TX boot menu by holding Volume-+ while powering on your switch. Head into the options menu and select emuNAND on the left. Users of our existing emuNAND solution will see an option to migrate their existing emuNAND data. The migration process also cleans up the old emuNAND from the system NAND. Painless! We're interested in hearing your feedback about this exciting new functionality.
• The 'Emutendo' folder
  In addition to the new microSD emuNAND system we also introduce the 'Emutendo' folder on your microSD card. As you've probably noticed, the Switch saves various data to a 'Nintendo' folder on your microSD card. To completely decouple this data between your Original Firmware and your EmuNAND enabled firmware we have made EmuNAND enabled systems use this differently named folder. If you want keep using your old SD card data with your emuNAND, simply copy/rename the 'Nintendo' folder to 'Emutendo'.
• Added more directories to scan for content
  By popular demand we have added yet another list of subdirectories that will be scanned on your microSD card (or USB harddisk) for XCI/NSP/homebrew. The directories that have been added are:
  • – /sxos/updates
  • – /sxos/dlc
  • – /switch/updates
  • – /switch/dlc
• Homebrew menu takeover of any title by holding R
  Homebrew is usually launched from either the TX menu or the Homebrew Launcher menu. Both of these applications run as an 'applet' on the Switch. Applets do not have access to all of the system's memory, and thus any homebrew apps or games launched from here are affected by this as well. The only way to allow full use of the system's memory was to build and install homebrew NSP files. But now we have added another way to give homebrew applications full memory access! You can now hold the (R) button while launching any regular title, and this will launch the Homebrew Launcher Menu. Any homebrew launched from here will run with the same capabilities as a regular Switch game/app. Enjoy!
• Loading homebrew from USB
  More good news for homebrew lovers. You can now copy homebrew NRO files to your USB harddisk as well, and launch them directly from our SX OS menu.
• Stability improvements
  Overall stability of many components has been improved. This includes LayeredFS and USB incompatibilities. We have also fixed a bug which would prevent people from launching more than 32 titles.
• libusbfs update
  Last but not least a small update for developers. We've squashed a small bug in libusbfs pertaining the stat() function. If you had issues with this, grab an updated copy of libusbfs from our website!

The year 2018 is entering its final months. That does not mean we're taking a break from working on our beloved SX OS though. And yes, also those new 'unhackable' consoles are high up on the agenda. Don't worry, we will deliver.

Keep sending your feedback and ideas, they're very welcome.

See you all in the next update!

This is perfect. I think we could say for the first time that we already have everything we need on a CFW. Its a shame that there's no need to use EMUNAND.. since there's no point on going online.. But anyways Im glad we finally have a complete and fully working CFW!!!

I hope you're joking. Really I do.

"Everyone who paid should just be happy and blind to the blatant thievery".

In other news, we've always been at war with Eastasia.

I don't want their shitty license or product.

There is no "coming together here". This is "this is your work. this is my work now." manner of coming together.

You want to talk about Eastasia? Maybe people should be more concerned that the privately owned world bank is enslaving the entire planet with their completely made up money that they created on their computers. lol wake up if you think that TX are bigger pirates than Banksters. Have you looked at your bank account lately? Do you even have one? I'd bet the answer is no.

It's faster than I used to imagine. Protect from bricking code is another good point for using emunand.

I hope you're joking. Really I do.

Why would I be?

 

[Ev1l0rd]

Unless you're using cfw for homebrew purposes. We are all thieves after installing pirated nsps or loading xcis. Why should we care as end-users? Let the big heads to fight for us.

If so, I'd still use the program that isn't a cobbled together hackjob with one or two features slapped on it. Atmosphere provides pretty much everything you could ever want even if you're a pirate outside of XCI loading. fs/es patches are publicly available, and although not bundled are very easy to setup. There's a public DNS out there that blocks Nintendo's servers. There's a WIP XCI -> NSP converter that installs the XCIs as NSPs and so on and so forth.

Using the original program in this case means better support and being able to report issues which not just the current dev team can fix but anyone who thinks that they have an idea on how to fix it can fix it.

 

[_hexkyz_]

Can yal stop arguing and answer me foking question,
Is the standard emunand size 25gb ? (latest sxos)

I didn't include it in the tweets, but the emunand size options are indeed gone from the bootloader. I believe it should now be whatever was the default size before.

 

[Essasetic]

Why would I be?

Because the implementation is completely broken. And since most TX users are using exFAT SD Cards it opens up for massive corruption to files.

 

[Deleted-172301]

Wait a minute or 2 with the black screen, it should go to the home screen eventually.

It doesn't do anything.

 

[Ev1l0rd]

Wait, is this what this is all about?
Racism against asians?

Have you ever read 1984? Eastasia is the name of the fictional country that Oceania is at war with.

It's just an argument that sticking your fingers in your ears and going lalalalala I can't hear you isn't a valid argument.

 

[Essasetic]

Boot 0/1 files on there?

Broken? What are you talking about? it works like a charm. And I've had an exfat card since the beginning of the scene without a problem so..

 

[Essasetic]

It writes the same file over and over again. So if something goes wrong. Everything is gone.

I see your points here. But SX has functions that I would like to have and used to dream of. Loading XCIs off external HDD via USB hub and charging while output to TV via HDMI. Now with emunand and separated installing folder. I'm so happy to have.

I'll switch to Atmosphere at some point in time but not for now. Available options are here to choose from.

 

[Deleted-172301]

Boot 0/1 files on there?

Yup. Would the archive flag get set when a folder is created from the switch? I use OSX so this is a frequent thing that I'm dealing with.

Another user reported the same issue. Currently no solution from what I've seen. Either wait it out or simply don't use it.

I find it comical that you use that in context with TX. Yet you're living in a world of 1984 on steroids.

You know what's even cooler? The fact that you can keep your sd card fat32(to minimize corruption) and are still able to install NSP's through the USB hdd without having to split the files. That's gold right there.

Yes I already knew that

 

[BATMAN-]

Could anyone report if it runs more stable than the last release (2.2 beta)? I had some crashes when entering the album as well as closing some games. Any information is greatly appreciated!

 

[LadyApollo]

I'm pretty sure that people who use SX OS are well aware that it is a hot mess, has "stolen" code and its implementation is somewhat wacky. But why can't we respect both projects instead of all this bickering? Atmosphere is a well rounded and polished CFW and I really respect their efforts and values. While SX OS is trying to bring cool features that people actually wanted and are able to work on this as a full-time job because it is paid. I don't see the problem of using and supporting both at the same time, as this is what I'll do when I have the money to buy SX OS.

 

[Keylogger]

I have moved my emunand to SD card but now, I have a blackscreen when I'm trying to load emunand...
