It was teased in the 'Features Showcase' video released by TX earlier this week, but now its available to download!

As you all know by now, when TX released their SX OS v2.4 earlier this week, there was a video released alongside it, and in it people quickly noticed there was a new app called 'SX Installer', well it was not fully ready then, but now is available for all to enjoy!

After a successful SX OS launch earlier this week (to support firmware v6.2) many of our users were asking where the SX Installer was that was teased in our new 'Features Showcase' video that was also released. ​

With great excitement we present to you SX Installer v1.0 – Now Available for download at: –> sx.xecuter.com

This full featured app takes care of installs and so much more! In fact, an overview manual is now being prepared along with screenshots and detailed information on how you can better utilize all of the features we have packed into it.

This manual will be available on our SX Portal page when it is completed, in the meantime we have opened up a dedicated 'support forum' for the app, and have decided to release it now, to get it in the hands of our loyal SX OS users so you can right away start enjoying the many functions and features it has to offer.

Basically, at its core SX Installer is an advanced NSP Installer, that allows you to simply list, view, in one easy step, automatically install all your NSPs, along with the matching Game Updates, and DLC Packages, and these can be search and grabbed from many locations, including: FTP, HTTP, NUT Server (separate app on your PC), SD, USB HDD and NAND.

But that is not all it can do, as you can see from the quick overview below of the main functions. SX Installer has the ability to directly launch XCI games, and even launch your Classic Retro 'Game ROMs' for various different emulators installed, and of course your favorite homebrew apps. It even has a built-in file browser!

​

PLEASE NOTE: (currently .xci launching is only supported in firmware 5.x or below – 6.x support is on it's way!)

To get started, unpack the downloaded sxinstaller.zip and move all of the contents to the root of your SD card. The "sx.nro" file should be stored in /switch/sx/

Below is just a quick overview of the main functions of our SX Installer App:

• Ability to show titles in table view, or icon cover view.

Does this have any unique features beyond the normal edition of Tinfoil DZ?

Shamelessness?

 

[x02a]

No Support for splitted XCI and NSP...

 

[NeoSlyde]

so what is this ? like a emulator all in 1 ?
dont understand what this does or is

It’s just a forwarder.

 

[DocKlokMan]

No Support for splitted XCI and NSP...

Oh? Not even TX's own split XCI method? That makes it a deal breaker for me.

 

[scroeffie]

wil the updates install on external hdd or sd card ?

 

[KingMuk]

Never used tinfoil so I'll def be giving SX Installer a go here ;D

 

[x02a]

Oh? Not even TX's own split XCI method? That makes it a deal breaker for me.

My XCI files are splitted with XCI Cutter, and they are working with the normal SxOs... but Not with the SX Installer

Edit: splitted nsp files working, After checking the archive bit in Windows again

 

[sporesprout]

So can we download updates for xci files? Or is that also for 5.1? I just get a could not load error.
Also when you hit install is it going to install xci as if it was a nsp?
Ok I see it just detects them from your SD or whatever your using. I thought it would DL online.

 

[Kubas_inko]

No, you just need to read it closer.

• Ability to export all title keys installed on the system.
• Ability to list installed titles, and launch them (launching is 5.x and below only)
• Ability to list XCI's mount them, and auto-launch (launching is 5.x and below only)
• Ability to list all incomplete installs (like when the SD gets corrupted, or you swap SD cards without copying data), with option to reinstall all of them.
• Ability to list and launch NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBA, SMS, SG, SCD, GG, and SG1000 RetroArch games.
• List and launch Homebrew apps

These are the features not present in normal Tinfoil.

2. Possible in default tinfoil.
Other don't know. XCI obviously won't work on any other CFW.

 

[Daigan]

So XCI loading is no longer a paid feature? They just released it in there own app for free

 

[gamemasteru03]

I doubt that it will work on other cfws...

Half of it is possible in default TinFoil, it won’t launch the titles.

 

[rory2005]

Xci is tied to your licence guys, No licence no working xci function, Correct no support yet for split xci files

 

[ganons]

Can you delete games with the file browser?

 

[rory2005]

You can only try, I have not tried myself

 

[blawar]

On the first start sx installer was without my xci collection. I have to rename games folder to xci. How i can get games update etc ??

• "Ability to list and launch NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBA, SMS, SG, SCD, GG, and SG1000 RetroArch games." And PSX but games are very slow for me....

You can add a new location for your XCI's in file browser -> new

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Can you delete games with the file browser?

You can delete NSP's from the SD card, using file browser.

 

[Rezek]

How do you FTP without exposing your switch to the internet? I assume by locking down traffic on the router? or I'm over thinking it?

Steahlt mode i guess

 

[stewacide]

Where does this download the updates/dlc from? I hope this doesn't get me banned.

 

[V-Temp]

Where is this pulling update data from for:

• Ability to list and install newer updates available for your game(s), with the option to install all updates
