Hacking SX Modchip firmware has been dumped

[AngryCinnabon]

So here is a good question lets just say they make a clone chip will it have the same functionality as SXOS and considering that SXOS status is unkown for the near future who is going to be updating the firmware?

I would stay away from a cheap clone and just get original

That is, if you can even get you hands on one considering well...everything.

Probably too early days but could this lead to a solder free mod chip?

I agree. Might have a brick code

Is there a place to download what was dumped? Good to have it out there in many places.

A clone chip will probably be designed just to boot a standard payload file placed on the SD card such as Hekate rather than a proprietary CFW like SXOS.

Has or can anybody dump the SX Pro USB C dongle? And if so, can we flash a different payload to it? Like Fusee_primary to load Atmosphere by default?

Isn't that already possible with a tool like this?

As fas as I know, you don't need to dump sx pro dongle in order to reflash it with atmosphere.There is a python script which converts third-party payloads to custom boot.dat to work with sx pro dongle directly.

Okay, that script is dope as hell. Thank you guys for this! (It's just as good as what I was asking for!)

Is that legal? Even if it is from TX, it is still copyrighted and without their permission you can't distribute it

The only thing that has been dumped is the flash, the FPGA hasn't been touched, which would get big attention if that was made public. In the flash dump there is no copyrighted code to the best of my understanding and as such I'm sure Scires would remove it if it was

 

[baileyscream]

This sounds decent, making an open source alternative to tx modchips which people can make themself and doesn't require some overpriced license is very nice to hear!

There already is and has been from the start

There is already an open source modchip that competes with the SX Core and SX Lite modchips? Please link them here then

Sxos isn't proprietary its stolen atmosphere repackaged

No.

 

[Adran_Marit]

No.

To emphasise they use voltage glitching

 

[DbGt]

This just shows how far away were Tx, so now the meme will change from "Tx just copies" to "atmos copies"?

 

[Deleted User]

So will Atmosphere work on SX Lite and SX Core modchips when Mariko is supported? I have an SX Lite modchip sitting at home which hasn't been installed yet. I don't want to buy another modchip when the hypothetical open source modchip is available.

i have been using sx os sins day one ,so what now for people like me ?
