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!

"TX is on roll, release after release, and today's big release..."

Guess they weren't on much of a roll lol

No need to be hyped. Install emunand and enjoy gaming while waiting for the next sx's update.

 

[linuxares]

Sx installs nsp files why switch. Because of a update lol . I'm still waiting for proof. About dz . Guess u dont have any .

If you wanna discuss this with me, please PM me. Else keep it clean or we will make it clean.

Xci isn't a priority since you can install them or nsp files

Installing them increases your chances of ban more then it already is . Furthermore installing them requires double the space to begin with and takes quite a bit longer then just mounting

As I said, this is why most CFW doesn't priorities XCI loading. Since there is basically no point for them when you can install them/convert them as I said.

cant read, can you?
there are two main points for xci mounting.

• doesnt require double the space (as in not needing to have the space for the file itself and then the same amount of space to install it)
• the above results in it overall being a faster experience (waiting for it to install vs just mounting it and starting to play)

I replied to an earlier comment why there is no "free" alternative as such. No need to be snarky with me.

Having a cfw that doesn't get you banned isn't important? What are these priority you talk about then?

to be fair, sx can get you banned too. it just that mounting xci so far seems a bit safer then installing the games.

 

[guitarheroknight]

XCI wont get you banned though

 

[Localhorst86]

XCI wont get you banned though

unless you can show me proof that you work at nintendo - specifically in the online division that handles bans - I will personally slap you.

Or are you basing your post on anecdotal evidence?

 

[linuxares]

XCI can get you banned as much as a NSP or any other modification. Think that XCI is safe is just asinine. You risk of getting banned as soon as you boot a CFW of any sort.

ReiNX for example doesn't prioties XCI loading since they are developing other more important parts to their CFW last time I spoke with them. It's in the end the users fault for getting banned or not.

It doesn't get you banned if you do things like you're supposed to, I'm using SX since 30 July and emunand since 8 October and I'm not banned so it's pretty safe to me. Never tried going online with backups tho. Can't wait for the update, I'm missing all the Paladins rewards and I want to try Warframe too.

yet many of those devs complain about sx os. then why not just take the only thing that still speaks for them (plug and play xci mounting) and implement it into their own free solution.

Ask them, not me. I just replied why they don't have plans for XCI loading right now.

fair point.

 

[thaikhoa]

Sx users have got banned before emunand because:
- Sx os was crashed and rebooted to ofw with a strange error log while being online.
- Playing none-cert xci online
- Playing nsp online

Now we have emunand on sd, the risk of ban when playing online games on sysnand is pretty much as equal as 0%.

Any CFW can get you banned, thats for sure. My younger brother uses exclusively XCI games to play offline with his CFW and after 3 months he still isnt banned despite the fact that he is playing Fortnite almost every day with his friends in the "original firmware" or whatever its called. As long as you dont go online with a game without a header (XCI) you are fine.

You might be fine, it's of course a lot better. But so is Nintendo's security. We have no idea if they actually already are detecting XCI files or not. To say they're safe is to claim a condom could never break.
