Team-Xecuter has announced that pre-orders are starting TODAY for their new Switch mod-chips.

We even get a extra treat, finally a clear picture of their SX LITE installed in a Switch Lite motherboard, as you can see in the photo above, and also the pricing is only $45.95 and includes their SX OS license, but you can use other CFW as well, and looks like the selected testers will finally be getting their units by end of next week, so lots of good news all around!

First of all, we hope you and your families are safe and healthy during this global pandemic that has hit our civilization hard.

We got many questions about the current status of our new products, and after many hurdles we are excited to announce we will be opening up preorders for our SX Core and SX Lite products starting today.

Just like the SX Pro, the retail price for the SX Core and SX Lite is currently fixed at $45.95 and comes with a free SX OS License (although you are free to not use SX OS, of course).

All distributors and vendors will start taking preorders in the next hours/days. We want to give you this heads up to give everyone an equal opportunity to be among the first to receive their retail copy of the next generation of Team Xecuter's finest products for your beloved Switch consoles!

Those of you who were selected for the private beta (you know who you are!) should get their review units shipped towards the end of next week. After their sanity check and feedback are in we will ramp up production and strive to deliver the retail preorders around the end of April.

So for now, the wait is finally almost over, we can now starting ordering our modchips, and soon we will see first-hand feedback from selected testers that will be getting their units soon, so stay tuned for more news soon!

oooh looks neat!
I wonder where that "UP" cable is for, since it seem to go off in a distance. The other tiny cable seem to be next to the SOC.
Is it on daughterboard? @garyopa

from what i think, there is cable going to the power/vol buttons at the top. -- there also an optional cable to add for update firmware port via micro-usb, like the previous photos shown which was SX Core model. -- but we will know soon once the testers get their in the mail.

 

[linuxares]

I sure hope it works well :3

Where is the modchip located? On teh EMMC-memory? Can't see details on a photo..

It seems to be on top of the eMMC chip on a Switch Lite, by comparing to these photos from a Lite teardown guide found on iFixit

Edit: Ninja'd by Garyopa, it seems

Just to confirm.... this is a soldering job isn’t it?

Doesn't lock like any solder here. But since since we most likely only see the top part, it's hard to say. It's a eMMC under it.

 

[NANASHI89]

When does 3.0.0 come out?

 

[comput3rus3r]

since I've never opened my switch I can't tell anything from these pictures.

 

[alucard_xs]

soldering required I presume ?

 

[terraplen]

Yeah, but only by using their bootloader, that chip is definitely not rewritable with a new payload...
The clone wars (and the races to open hardware reimplementations hopefully ) are going to start soon

not sure what you’re trying to say but you can boot any payload you want

 

[mathew77]

you can boot any payload you want

Only through closed proprietary encrypted bootloader that has all the RCM priviledges, I guess.

 

[The Catboy]

Modchip is arguably the last thing I would want to preorder. I'll wait for reviews, or maybe some cheaper clones :v

I mean, it’s also worth waiting in case they pull a Stargate and just release the product, update it once or twice, then vanish. Personally, I am going to wait until either some clones to come out or a community made project is released because I will never support the SX team.

yeah, you saided brow, seems like a rcm from hackeable switchs on a chip.

 

[terraplen]

ok
and?

 

[SecureBoot]

Does the CORE work on Mariko units?

 

[matias3ds]

Does the CORE work on Mariko units?

Yes it will work in all the units even in the new switch lite

 

[Teletron1]

What happen to the days where you just circle the chip in the pic

looking forward to reading the reviews on this thanks for the update

 

[SecureBoot]

I don't see any solder points... I guess this is the solderless version. What is that ribbon cable attached to though I wonder

you can use other cfw as well? didn't expect it but it's fucking great.

 

[cearp]

Its hard to see by this photo if this need some solder or not, if its just plug n play will be awesome!!!
Like on chess, nintendo your move now...

I would have thought TX would actively promote it as 'solderless' if it didn't need soldering.
But we will see
