ub3r1337's first impressions from a direct demo of TX upcoming new hardware mods!

ub3r1337 recently meet with TX to have them demo to him their upcoming new mods for the Switch (patched, mariko and lite). Unfortunately, he didn't get any pictures, but he says they'll be coming later on. Even so, he shared some of this new information at MaxConsole, also shown below:

First Off: It is a hardware mod. TX went back to its roots, and this solution is a device you need to install inside your Switch.

From what we could tell the install looks ultra simple and almost plug and play. When pushed about the install requirements, TX held back from claiming its fully solder-less, stating clearly that this particular design will always benefit from a few simple solder connections, versus the original intent of fully solder-less (at least for the classic model which is the unit we got to inspect).

In other words, a fully solder-less install is potentially possible with the classic models however it is not recommended by TX due to long term reliability concerns (we will cover this more in-depth at a later date, once we have our preview unit in our hands and put it thru some tests)

Second Point: There is one device for Patched and Mariko unit which is probably under production (see point three) and should be available soon They plan to release 2 devices; one for all classic versions (original, patch and mariko) and one for the Switch Lite.

Third Point: I really pushed for a release date, but TX refused to confirm anything during our meeting. From what I understood, even though it seems to be currently under production, because all sorts of things can occur in the factory during production, they will not commit to a date to me or their resellers until they are certain they can deliver on time enough stock to meet the demand.

I guess I can only respect that, this is probably why they did not announce anything yet, and we should know more once it is finally officially announced on their TX website.

At some point ub3r1337 hopes to get some pictures and videos from TX and a review unit, but we have no clue when that will happen. For now we just have to sit and wait for some more news regarding these new TX hardware mods to appear online!

i like the fact that tx just dont give a shit about the " post photos " " give proof " etc.. the thing was a rumor and still in development.. they will give info when they fell like it..

 

[guitarheroknight]

I don't take sides. I however don't like "hype threads" without any context. If you read the previous thread that you most likely talk about, it's nothing more than me ranting of it being a glorified ad.
About the TX vs Atmosphere war, I even know you been a person stocking the fire. We're very lenient to intervene since the silly wars would just float over to other threads. It's better to keep it in one.

Not that one, but I guess it was one them since I remember posting the same thing about you being biased which is not meant as an insult BTW, but rather as a suggestion to stay more neutral.

 

[bluesn00w]

Support them? No. Use their exploit (which is probably just glitching tho)? Heck yea.

"just glitching"

Do you know how much work goes into a glitch exploit? Lmao

 

[Kubas_inko]

Once again, as a moderator you shouldn't be biased towards stuff like this especially when it comes to toxic discussions as these. You're just adding fuel to the fire while in reality you should be doing your actual job and staying neutral.

Saying that there is no proof is being biased? How exactly?

I didn't ask for proof. I'm generally curious what it looks like...

 

[Kubas_inko]

Do you know how easier they are compared to searching for a software exploit (on a locked console pretty much)?

 

[ombus]

Do you know how easier they are when there is no known software exploit?

i want to order 1 for patched switch and another for xbox one plz.. and fast ok ?

 

[bluesn00w]

you clearly know nothing about exploiting

 

[Kubas_inko]

you clearly know nothing about exploiting

yea, sure...
I wonder why it is usually the first thing people do when they have pretty much no access/knowledge about the software on the device. I guess they should always start with pure software exploiting then.

I cant remember a time when Garyopa has EVER posted false info. And i also cant think of a single time that TX has lied about having a exploit. Almost 18 years of pure truth

Gary claimed multiple times that the Gateway 3DS would be updated and even provided multiple dates, all of which never happened. Gary claimed Stargate was not made by the Gateway team, then lied when it was revealed that the Stargate website was in fact registered under the gateway team's email. Gary claimed multiple updates for the Stargate 3DS were going to happen, they never happened. Gary claimed both the Luma3DS team, Rei-Six team, and d0k worked with the Gateway team to make their respective projects work with Stargate 3DS, then when confronted he attempted to lie again, which was exposed by me (I am close friends with everyone involved in those projects and the second member of the Rei-Six team which was just Crimson and myself.) He lied about multiple OFW updates for both the 3DS and Switch, claiming all kinds of features were being added the like, then went silent when called out and or when the OFW update happened. These are just some of the lies or misinformation that are all very easy to find if you just look through his posting history or have been around long enough to have experienced them first hand.
There's an extremely controversial history surrounding the TX team and history of using untested community code, which has even resulted in multiple updates just to fix the broken code that they didn't test. There are other parts of their history but know mentioning those parts tends to bring up a real shitstorm.
As for this thread, without proof why should I trust them? I have no reason to trust Gary nor anyone involved with his site considering their long history of posting shill information.

I'm going to need a new wife after this TX have at it again !

If you dont trust them and dont use their products... why are you here ? just asking

 

[snoofly]

maybe switch gary != 3ds gary?
at least most of his switch related comments are reliable
and he makes good copy, just note how 4/5 of the most active topics on this forum are from him
he generates interest and controversy, without him this place would be a lot more mundane
not many around here can claim to be level 18 based on just over 700 posts, that’s a massive feedback ratio

Why should this thread be limited to just those who trust them? This community isn't just limited to those who buy/trust this team and nor is limited to fanboys.

I like @garyopa I think his thread is cool , I bought Stargate 3ds and have no regrets and I have Sxos since day 1 and it's so cool and easy , why all the hate ?

Its not hate to point out that someone is not in fact reliable in a thread based on their word. That you buy or enjoy their products also has zero relation to whether they are always truthful.

This is a post about the info regarding the unhackeable switches and how tx may have something for these..
why would people not interested in and with distrust about tx be here and talk about it ?
i dont have interest in xbox one for example.. and i am not going to an xbox one forum post to talk about it less shit on it..

I feel like you didn't read my post and are just upset that I didn't come in here to sing the praise. What I pointed out are reasons to be concerned with claims from Gary and the TX team based on their history that all on public forums. Bringing up reasons to be skeptical of someone who has a history of misinformation isn't hate, it's necessary to ensure the community isn't mislead by this individual. This thread was posted on the main page, yet lacks any pictures nor proof to backup it up, that's a solid reason to be concerned over the validity of this post.

 

[HideoKojima]

they can't do anything,TX team just like R4 is in China & in similar situation is Sony with the Henkaku team. they can't do anything like they did to George Hotz

Ofc they can't yet they follow the scene and update their hw accordingly in the future

Dunno why people should be concerned about this ? if this is fake then thats that.. nobody loses anything about this and its not like somebody loses money either.. dont think there are people who will get a patched/lite just to get this.
And even then this was confirmed working from an admin of this site wich i believe it gives more credibility to the solution tx has...and again dont think an admin from here will just say that its true without proof.
So everyone should wait and see what does gets released. as more days passes we get more info so dont think its too long before we get "proof".
