Amazing News Today!, Here it Is SX OS v2.8 now works with v8.1.0!

TX has announced they have already released an update to their SX OS, which allows full usage of the latest Switch v8.1.0 firmware.

We are back with another update for SX OS. As you all probably know, one of our main priorities is making sure existing users are able to keep enjoying SX OS.

This update brings full compatibility for the recent firmware update 8.1.0.

Nothing more, nothing less. We have some very cool features lined up that are not quite ready for primetime yet. And we didn't want to keep you waiting till next september either.

So what are you waiting for? SX OS 2.8 beta is available for download on our website now! (and through the builtin online updater part of SX OS, of course)

Really hoping they add overclocking soon.

Has anyone tried using themes with 2.8 or are they still broken?

Before this Update, my Switch has some problems.
Only connect Joy-Con in Handheld Mode.
In Dock Mode it was very dark.

Now it works fine.

they finally were swift updating sxos once atmos had been updated. if u read the post sounds like they will continue this trend when new fw support is out which is awsome good work tx

Honestly if they haven't already by this point, I'm assuming they've chosen not to.

Yeah, not a feature to the normal user, and SX is for them.

you have it the wrong way around - SX OS released before atmos, so it wasn't ''once atmos had been updated'' at all.

it's nice to see quicker updates from SX, irrespective for who is ''first''.

I had been hoping for some new features to be added to SX OS since we're at it's first birthday.

Thanks! Booting into OFW from SXOS menu now works

what do you usually do (in ofw) when you boot into ofw from sx menu?

When I boot into OFW to play my games online.

If you update Sysnand on to the latest and it's not compatible with CFW yet, booting OFW from the SXOS menu will black screen. Only effects you if you have AutoRCM which you have to disable if you wanna boot into OFW

You shouldn't be using themes anyway.

I updated emunand from 8.0.1 - 8.1.0 last night and it all works including themes. I went cold turkey from MK8 online for 48hrs. terrible pain but happy now.

That was not the question. A bit of comprehension issue maybe ?

Not tested but most likely still broken, especially in 8.x.x

cry haters,cry!!!!

No, I understood. Themes are for kids. Are you a kid?

 

[proffk]

Tx normally take weeks to update sx os to the lateat fw. I guess they have listened to consumer feedback on forums.

 

[weatMod]

lol @ those butthurt and pissed that TX beat atmosphere to the punch by what 20 minutes?! in getting released 8.1 support
Last time TX dropped the ball by many weeks, this time they won by a nose
I wonder who will win the 8.2 derby

who cares about the 8.2 derby , i want to see who wins the ipatched derby

You can use themes with NX theme installer

Themes were never broken. To answer your question though, yes they still work in 2.8.

Why would you think that? Doesn't it boil down to the user's preference whether or not they want to use custom themes?

 

[Rob Blou]

... Why wouldn't it...? Of course it does. Don't be baselessly pessimistic. That's like a game releasing and being like, "Black screen? Does it have a black screen? Tell me before I buy it so that I know it works!"

Don't get me wrong, I love my SX pro, but the latest releases have had issues that had to fixed in a X.1, X.2 etc .. I now wait before upgrading to make sure HDD supports still works, all the games and homebrew works etc. That's what wise man do
