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.
• Install NSP's from FTP, HTTP, NUT, SD, USB HDD, and NAND.
• Ignores firmware requirement when installing.
• Ability to queue multiple title installs.
• Ability to search titles.
• Ability to list and delete tickets.
• Ability to export all title keys installed on the system.
• Ability to overclock to install faster in some situations.
• UI Translation into 12 languages.
• Title meta-data translation into 12 languages.
• Downloads and displays game artwork (internet connection required).
• Ability to list, view, and delete application records (lets you uncleanly forcibly uninstall a DLC or update)
• 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 and install new games available, with the option to install all new games
• Ability to automatically install the latest patch and all DLC with a game.
• Ability to protect users from running malicious unsigned code accidentally by blocking all unsigned code installation unless explicitly enabled.
• Ability to list and install newer updates available for your game(s), with the option to install all updates
• Ability to list and install newer DLC available for your game(s), with the option to install all DLC
• 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
• File browser that lets you explore your file systems, delete files (SD only), and copy files (only SD is writable)

That's it for now! Have fun diving into all the cool features this app has to offer. Keep your eyes peeled for the full manual. It will be posted as soon as it's ready!

itd be nice if we could also launch nsps.

 

[18Phoenix]

It's not root .
roms/ nes/ here

Just a simple "roms" folder works for all rom-files?

You can!

He is mistaken, pretend your SD card is G: drive and do it like this:

G:\nes\mario3.nfc
G:\snes\supermarioworld.sfc

You CAN do G:\roms\nes\ and I do it as well but you have to go to File Manager and add SDMC location "roms" then press Save and it will scan that folder for the rom folders (nes,snes) too.

Oooooh, it's possible to add folders for scanning? Nice.

splitted XCi , just get a bigger SD card

Thanks for the useful response... My problem is related to exfat support though. Bigger SD card would not change anything in my case.

 

[18Phoenix]

It's very sad that one very nice DZ Tinfoil feature isn't working:
Click on the right stick in the list (not the tab) to make ALL files visible instead of only NEW ones.

That works for me? I just tried it in New DLC and it showed me everything, not just installed titles DLC.

DLCs are the exception, they're always shown like with DZ Tinfoil. For whatever reason.
But not Base- and Update-NSPs.

i don't get this exfat problem, i have been using exfat all the time, i have tried to stuff up the lots of different cards but i can not seam to

Just tried on New Updates and that works fine for me too, there are too many titles in New Games for me to verify but I'm sure that works as well xD

 

[18Phoenix]

Yeah, I'm using an 400GB eXFAT microSD, no problems at all, too.
No need to split anything for me.

You mean it works for you with DZ Tinfoil, not SX-installer, right ?

 

[SonyUSA]

Yeah, I'm using an 400GB eXFAT microSD, no problems at aloo, too.

You can use exfat, but there is a chance of corruption or it may (it might be doing it right now!) nibble away at your free space until you have none left, then you will have to format to get the free space back. Exiting homebrew apps using the home button is a quick way to corrupt your SD card. This doesn't happen with FAT32 but you need to split large XCI because of the limitation.

P.S. the memory dumper/cheat scanner doesn't play nice with ExFAT, gotta use fat32.

In SX-Installer, yes.

so you are going off fear as your reason for not using exFat, on a "maybe" just from what you have read , would you not have "backups" sitting on your computer or in my case on my Nas, so if i lose something i still have it

I use exfat. If you want to use the cheat scanner then you need fat32.

okay must have read that part wrong about you not using exfat me bad sorry ops , I see a lot of people make posts about doing or not doing stuff with their switch out of fear of what they have read, and see that lead to a whole new set of issues that does not need to be in existence

and i don't do the cheats as well

 

[lisko]

Would be very nice if it could mount xcis over ftp. With my usb3 ethernet adapter and my ethernet attached NAS I get ~40MB/s when installing nsp or copying files from it. If I try to mount an xci over ftp I get error 2568 but mounts them fine from sd card. Hope to see it working in future.
