TX have today announced they have shipped out samples of both their SX Core and SX Lite modchips to the previously selected reviewers and testers.[prebreak][/prebreak]

• SX Core is compatible with all Switch regular models, whether they are Mariko, patched or unpatched.
• SX Lite is for all Switch Lite.
• All firmwares are supported for both regular and lite versions.
• SX OS license is included with both models.

As we indicated before, both products require soldering. With the help of that large panel of reviewers, we will finetune installation diagrams, correct any bug they might encounter so you have a great experience with our product from day 1.

We are proud of the hard work behind these products and we also can't wait to ship to retailers so all Team Xecuter supporters can enjoy a fully unlocked Switch regardless of the model they have.

If you can solder, we recommend placing your preorder now as demand will be massive (but don't worry, just for May we have already large stocks ready to ship).

If you are not comfortable with soldering, please wait for a installer near you to receive stocks so he can install it for you. Installers will also offer pre-installed consoles so you have all ready at once if you do not own a Switch yet.

Unfortunately for the less experienced modders, some soldering will be required, but we should hopefully have more information as reviewers and testers receive their samples. Until then, TX reminds you to stay safe and get ready to enjoy, releasing some exciting pictures of the retail packaging!

This is nice and all I just wonder how Nintendo is going to react now. Non patches units can use fuse-glee and patched units can use the modchips.

They have been sending out DMCAs for awhile. So it's nothing new really.

Trust is a funny concept in this scene. I often see people saying not to trust this or that application, it's closed source, don't rust the author, etc... But then if you ask them what to run they tell you to download some random zip.

it's not trust at all, it's scene politics

Have testers gotten their samples yet?

soooo anyone know where we are gonna be able to reliably buy an sx lite/pro?

Quite a few sites already available.

Second this, I got refunded from uber and I am not trying to find a reliable reseller. If anyone knows one that isn't sketchy pm me!

Now I feel the urge to get a Switch Lite even thought I have a V1 Switch. I wonder when are we going to actually see the setup and how much skill is needed. I guess we have to wait for the reviews!

Yup, lol. Considering I play in handheld mode exclusively pretty much, a Switch Lite is the way to go it seems.

Selling my Switch though... It's a (Exploited too! LOL) V1. Still a little bit too early to sell it and grab a Lite just yet. However, a couple of hours extended battery life (Even more utilising underclocking in certain games that don't require even the stock 1000mhz CPU clock) and possibly even slightly higher clock speeds on the SoC. If that ends up being the case.... Absolutely a no brainer.

With an SX Lite in place, we should have no issues overclocking to even 1800/925/1600 (CPU/GPU/RAM). While having the same or even slightly better battery life than the stock V1. Heat should also be comparable with a stock V1, especially since if I am opening it, you'd better believe some kind of Thermal Grizzly product is going inside there.

Hehe. I will probably just use Liquid Metal. I've used it on my laptops, as long as the mounting surface is copper, the LM doesn't mess with it much at all. Nothing 3 minutes with 800 grit sandpaper won't fix. ;-)

Exciting times.

Lite at max clocks won't get better or the same battery life as Erista at stock speeds. That's only a thing with the normal sized Mariko units.

Aww... Well damn, I "sit" corrected.

So to clarify for me, if you can/will, are "Mariko" units simply the latest versions the regular Switch on the market? Also, I was under the impression the Lite was using the same SoC that you're telling me"Mariko" has.

So...

Mariko Switch = Regular Design, NM shrunk SoC, Same battery as V1 Switch? Giving these units a significant battery life extension. Don't these units have extra clock speed bins on CPU or GPU cores as well, or?

Lite Switch = Lite Design, NM shrunk SoC, Slightly SMALLER Battery? Thus the same, or close to the same battery life as a V1?

I am up to date now with everything, correct? Hehe. :-)

I wonder.... Would a V1 battery physically fit into a Switch Lite? I don't know the thickness of them both, if there is no variance, or something we could measure 0.5MM or below... We could likely put one in there. I should take a quick look to see if I am wasting my time or not.

I am going to start offering modding services in my area using these chips (Or softmod for a V1 if wanted). I would however, love to have some other mods to offer people besides replacement cases, buttons, or replacement TIM.

Mariko = the new die shrunk SoC
Both the Lite and red box systems use it. It is binned higher (around 20% higher), doesn't really matter though, those higher speeds aren't used by Nintendo outside of potentially manufacturing testing (old hardware was tested at its max speeds during Aging, dunno about new hardware).

And yeah, lite's battery is around 30% smaller iirc, and its battery life at stock speeds is almost the same as the old Erista systems (it's advertised to last around three and a half hours)

Uh, the battery is definitely physically larger, from photos it doesn't look like there'd be enough room, but idk.

Does anyone know a trusted website or seller to buy an sx core from?

 

[M7L7NK7]

Btw It's me lol u will watch from here https://www.youtube.com/user/Cakama3a/videos

So what happened to it being a save game exploit that you sold to tx?

they don't exist and soon these will be extinct
