[Paulsar99]

@Gizmo yeah

Which are the keys you need to press? I will give it a try
Nevermind, that's not working, tried it crashing retroarch and just got the original crash screen, pressing vol key did nothing.

Thank you for testing!

Did you have the payload correctly re-named and in the atmosphere folder on the root of your SD card? ie: atmosphere\reboot_payload.bin

There is a new app here which allows you to select from a list of payloads to reboot to:

EDIT: also since SX OS 2.6 is using some of exosphere, I wonder if having all of the atmosphere folders on the SD card might also include the so called ''pretty crash'' information, as the needed module would then be on the SD card just like the reboot payload is needed for it to function correctly. I might set up a test SD card tonight and investigate.

So after you end your investigation, post the results here

Nice to get a fix quickly, I've still not updated yet as I'm using custom themes - and I can't be bothered to see if they are compatible just yet. But thanks TX.

I've been using my qlaunch theme on SX OS for a long while now.

would be minimum 6 hours from now, more like 8+

 

[blawar]

Good that everthing is working. Can I use blawar's incógnito without losing sx os activation?

Yes

 

[username23bob]

i’m still on 6.2; if i update to 7.0.1, will my emunand still work?

 

[hippy dave]

@Gizmo yeah the one from .....

I don't think you can post that url here.

 

[Paulsar99]

I don't think you can post that url here.

Thanks I've removed it.

 

[gizmomelb]

I don't think you can post that url here.

on that note.. was it resolved that Lockpick did or didn't have keys / ''illegal numbers' embedded in it's code?

 

[Disharmony16]

Hidden emunand is working very good on 7.0.1, no problems or corruption, maybe is for exfat users, im on fat32

 

[thaikhoa]

SX 2.6.1 fixes an issue where plugging in a third party dock/adapter could lead to a crash. Now I can use my COOV SH350 Pro+HDMI+HDD+Battery to play on TV and handheld mode alternatively without rebooting with that combo on the first place.

A+

 

[Kubas_inko]

That was surprisingly quick.

 

[shanefromoz]

That was surprisingly quick.

Sure was. Not much to say now though

 

[huma_dawii]

Very nice! Hot fixes!

 

[gnilwob]

SX 2.6.1 beta + 7.0.1 Emunand(files on sd) works file.


SX 2.6.1 beta + ext hdd works fine.

 

[DogParty]

Any word on if the N64 boost due to Hekate/Atmo has been added to SX OS?

I expect this thread to be 15 pages of shit posting by the usual suspects by the time I finish work this afternoon.

You can make all these threads FAR more readable and MASSIVELY improve the signal to noise ratio by Ignoring 4-6 posters, whose posts and replies are then completely invisible to you. You don't miss out on any of the actually interesting bits of information (such as exactly how TX got 7.0.x compatibility), but you get to avoid almost all of the waste-of-time drama posts.

For those that don't know how to do this, you click on the poster's name and then you select Ignore.
