From Team Xecuter:

This new 2.6 BETA of SX OS adds full support for Nintendo Switch firmware 7.x, including ALL functionality you expect when using our product. We've been pioneering our own unique and proprietary solution for defeating any future firmware protection and we're quite happy with the results so far.

This release is marked as BETA because we changed things drastically under the hood to streamline future firmware updates and some things may inadvertently behave differently.

That does not mean it hasn't been vetted at all, so give it a shot today!

Of course, we haven't been sitting idly behind the scenes either. A lot of our development resources and attention has been dedicated to bringing SX OS to those "unhackable" switches. We are working hard to bring the SX OS experience to all of you who are stuck with an "unhackable" switch. Stay tuned for more news!

Since this supposed plaintext key can only be revealed by using hexkyz's unpacker tool I assume all links and discussion of that will be banned as well.

Bless Buddha and I hope Buddha comes inside of us and blesses us with a 2.6.1 with encrypted keys. Buddha bless me, Buddha bless you.

Does his tool have hardcoded keys that is Nintendo keys in it?

As long as you boot an CFW first. AutoRCM does it so you more or less HAVE TO boot a CFW.

with rcm i only need the dongle to boot either sx os or atmos/rei right?
I also need to make sure to never fully discharge the switch (which is unlikely seeing that it mostly sits in it dock when at home)

Correct, since Reboot to payload works for all the 3 big CFW, you only need to if you happen to turn your switch off or a super hard crash.
It's not a big issue if you discharge your Switch. It just takes forever to recharge it since it will enter RCM mode instantly when you plug power in, kind of an annoying feature for the Switch to be honest.

Odd that GBATemp would ban SX OS because it reportedly contains a key that can ONLY be revealed using hexkyz's unpacker but not the tool that actually decrypts the binary and exposed the key.

Also odd that they still allow Atmosphere, who's source code clearly shows the seed keys required to generate the key.

This is a clear double standard.

I highly doubt that considering the tool itself doesn't contain the keys. Also, discussion of SXOS isn't banned, just the linking to this specific update. I doubt TX will leave the keys out in the open in their next non-beta release anyways.

are the xbins from that d.u. site safe?

If your switch use the code to generate it, all good. It's legal in most countries.

However IF THE KEY IS BAKED IN, it's illegal as all heck. Doesn't matter if it's encrypted or not. We take our sites safety first. Plain and simple.

xbins have been around since forever, just google xbins and you find them.

xbins hosts all sorts of illegal material yet here's the same mod recommending the site. Your slip is showing.

Links to xbins are also not allowed. The principle remains equivalent to the treatment of SX in this scenario.

They got loads of homebrew, also as I told others. If you got a problem with my moderation, please contact one of the supervisors. https://gbatemp.net/staff

Just for clarification, Atmosphere uses sept to get the keys. Sept was ENCRYPTED using the switch's keys. When running atmosphere, Sept will get loaded into the TSEC which decrypts and runs it. It then proceedes with deriving the keys from there on.
SX OS on the other hand skips that whole key derivation process and simply hard codes the only needed key into their binary.
Atmosphere includes absolutely no keys.

They didn't link xbins, they told them to google it. They did the same for SXOS.

Actually Xbins is in a greyzone. A lot of the software they have on the Switch is actually FW files, since nobody really knows how legal this is provide. GBAtemp took a safety step again to protect against hosting the fw files. They're probably fine, but we don't know.

@iriez is the right person to talk about how legal/illegal that site is.

Incorrect, issue even officially acknowledged here: #478

It must be a brand or format issue as I've just confirmed for q customer my hdd still work.

I dont have roms on my sd card they're all on my USB hdd and work fine.
