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 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

Oh yeah true..
i wonder if it's possible to make it working..

Well I know it works with a normal FTP server because I set one up and used it, so it's something to do with the bridge app... poop. You could always ask the developer for help? ;D

Or it’s something related to Google Drive and how it downloads files

 

[Reploid]

Wow, SX is way ahead of everybody again

 

[linuxares]

Wow, SX is way ahead of everybody again

Its just DZ with a TX paint job xD

 

[HardMind]

If you take a look at the bridge connector error log you'll see that when it's trying to read the header for information java throws some exception and blows up the connection, causing that error. Two posts down from that I said I was having trouble xD It -almost- worked xD

Restart your Switch... I ran into that issue as well for some reason, restart will fix it.

If you are trying to install a game that requires 6.2 keys it will fail, you need an installer that can handle 6.2 key games and then manually supply the keys to the app, ignoring the firmware requirement wont help with the lack of keys P:

Thank you.
So as I understand, SX Installer here can handle games with 6.2 (and automatically ignore the firmware requirement) but the problem now I need the Keys to let it completely work.
If that true, So my question where should I manually put the key "if i use SX installer" ?
"I think I can know the key of my game form CDNSP - GUI, I am correct ? "

Is there a way to add box arts to the Roms?

 

[kornjaca200]

Tx is just the best and easy to use, best spend money on the switch

 

[SonyUSA]

Is there a way to add box arts to the Roms?

Not that I know of... try adding it in the same folder with same name?

 

[ssssss13]

One question, where does this app gets the DLCs from?

 

[WiiuGold]

One question, where does this app gets the DLCs from?

IT doesn't

 

[BATMAN-]

It is perfectly fine to use this installer on SX OS 2.0.1 right?

 

[Reecey]

Its just DZ with a TX paint job xD

You never appreciate anything by TX do you? You never agree with any facts for TX future development you just delete them with your modding ability’s and put it down as “whatever” and anything new from TX your quick to put it down as well! you do not make a very good mod at gbatemp lets be honest your head overalls your heart to much. I’ve noticed this a lot with you becoming a mod.

 

[S3phi40T]

Can someone direct me how to enable network NSP installation?
I have local NFS, SMB and FTP set up with my Rock64 singleboard PC.
Wanted to use it to push installation of NSP files.
Thanks in advance!

splitted XCi , just get a bigger SD card

What bigger SD card has ot do with splitted XCI?
It's case of file system format (Fat32 vs ExFat).

I'm actually not against TX (heck I even own a SX Pro) at all, I however try to keep "fanboyism" down low since it's causing a lot of flamewars and bickering. I know that blawar sent his source code to TX ages ago, therefore I know the SX Installer is DZ with a paint job.

Appreciate what exactly? What has TX really done for the Switch scene? All you TX fans argue that SXOS is sooo great with XCI, Cheats blah blah blah... But that's just it, that's all SX OS is. linuxares stated facts, this "installer" IS just a reskin of DZ something the community has had access to for a while now. But slap TX branding on it and you all open your mouths for TX's d**k.

 

[blawar]

No need then. why its a optional app. But you could use the file browser to copy xcis from your usb hdd to microsd.

lets say you only pay XCIs and are on 6.X. What is the use of this then? lol

There is some confusion with the wording. "launching" and "mounting" are two very distinct things, it will mount the XCI's. It will mount XCI's from USB HDD on 6.X (as it it virtually inserts the game into the game card), once its mounted you can manually go to the home menu and start the game.

What does not work on 6.X is a new feature called launching, where it not only mounts the game, it will also start playing the game immediately. This just saves the user the extra step of having to go back to the home menu to manually launch the game

SX Installer is based on work by the original Tinfoil. The UI might not be the greatest, but the author deserves our respect for helping make this app possible.

And how was this respect given? I don't see attribution? Or an included license, which is a legal requirement per the license?

How is denying attribution anything other than disrespectful? Which you've done until your face is blue. I'm having a hard time keeping up with the lies, so let's recap -

Your app dz, which you later renamed to tinfoil (which was totally not disrespectful right?) Does *not* use tinfoil source, but sx installer, which has been publicly admitted to use tinfoil dz instead uses source from the original tinfoil?

Is that accurate?

Why the need to use the original source from tinfoil if they got tinfoil dz's source to base sx installer on?

 

[Deleted User]

CHOO CHOOO!!!!

 

[Dario_Darioso]

I guess you need SX license first...

 

[leo-balaskas]

It work fine - nice overview!

Btw. im currently on FW 5.1.0 -30 -> using SX OS 2.4.
Are there any games that need Firmware above this? If so- what would be the best way to update Firmware
