OK that means that you might not even be able to update the (backup) games through normal ways. Cause how are you going to update something that can not be identified by the eShop. We just have to wait for some reviews to see what is possible and what not.

In the demo video on max console, they show some backups being loaded and when they load them there is the usual message about updating the game or just starting the software.
For the console to know there is an update for that game, I assume that the console/eShop/Nintendo knows what game it is.

The backups being used on the demo have been confirmed to be BBB dumps.

I'm a bit bemused that a backup loader is gonna be released without the ability to make backups.

Not that it matters much to pirates, but I don't wanna have to wait for a scene release of a game I already bought just to be able to have a dump of it. I only buy physical games so don't come at me with the digital download crap.

...what? isnt that like, something you should have asked yourself months ago? e.o either update now or wait for emunand

also


  • "Q: Does SX OS support Emunand?
    A:
    Currently it doesn't. This is a feature we can add in the future, but it is low in the priority list because of the small interest to the general public. But because Xecuter SX is also used by advanced user, we will add Emunand support at some point. "

Translation: when SciresM finishes coding it. Loading homebrew through photo album seems pretty sus to me. Sounds like stolen code/ideas.

All this is pretty sick none the less. Wonder if it'll release before the 15th or exactly on it.
It would be funny for Atmosphere team to start making the changes private and wait for the public release.
And then see SX missing many features that were supposed to be supported on launch. Sleep mode? :P

I’d like homebrew without having to use any paper clip or dongle at all! Just install once then have everything boot off of the sd card or better yet if people could find a way to install custom apps on the menu

Only three small denouncing campaigns - after blowing TX' "we so responsive" social responsibility campaign open? :)
Huh. :)

So here are the three slanderinos I have to defend myself against this time:

"he always talking the same in every thread"
No Im not. I've never talked about any of the points I've talked in here anywhere before. They are entirely new arguments, pointing out entirely new issues with TX' marketing.

"notimp quote: blablahblah"
False quote - while attempting to draw the points made, through the mud. Picture book definition of slander.

"dont tell us what to do, because we spend our money like adults"
Ahm. Ok. I'll still point out the false advertising, and the structural issues with TX' approach though - if you dont mind. So others can make informed decisions.


As for the "why would you even want emunand?" question?

So that you can choose between:

- Staying on a lower firmware, waiting for a hack that doesnt need a dongle - while still having access to all features of a newer CFW.
OR
- Staying on the most current firmware for playing online with your friends and using the eshop, while still having access to all features of a new CFW. (And close to zero ban risk - because you havent modified your system partition. Or have any pirated games' saves on it. Swap out your sdcard and you are fine.)

TX' OS allows neither option. They've decided for you - that you would rather save some diskspace on your SDcard - and likely be banned as soon as you go online, because they modify both systemnand and ram and encourage you to go online to update the firmware in that state. They already have released "responsibility delegation clauses" that you should be aware of a "risk to get banned" (no jokeing, ha...), and their official stance is people will always be banned - idk, we sell the faster easy approach - and then will copy the open source emunand, when that implementation is released. And then add DRM.

I can't wait for that press release btw... (Dear TX, customers - you now have the ability to still access online without getting banned! Great new feature. We say sorry to the 95% of our customers who already got banned - but to all our new customers, those are exciting news.. )

Also - TX solution requires you to also update to the newest firmware (thats demanded by a game you want to play) - on sysnand - while frying efuses. But with none of the benefits of doing so (as you'll get banned from online - in no time). Its the dumbest thing on earth - but saves you space on your sdcard! Rejoice! Thank you for not putting the work in Xecuter - and now have your users banned in no time.

There is a reason, that all of a sudden TX started to talk about emunand as well. But of course - to 95% of their customers this will not matter - as they will advance their Switches stock firmware and get banned by Nintendo in no time.

But some of them are very adamant not to be told what to do with their money. :)

If someone want try their Luck I bet Port 8080 and 8443 on TX are for the OS :P

Edit: This dude above me wow, he is prob. a Reswitched Fanboy xD Anyone will get banned also with Atmosphere, since Atmosphere is open Source so people do mistakes.The only difference is,you get banned while you have EmuNand :P

team x does it again!
Release a FAQ with answers to obvious questions ("Can I get game updates?!" > "Yes, online - as long as you are on a current firmware - and they havent banned you yet!") no one asked, while still not answering more important questions - because they make them look bad?

They sure did.

edit:

There is another reason why emunand might turn out to be safer. It is conceivable, that Nintendo introduces a hidden marker with their next firmware update - if it detects a modified system partition - and then looks for that marker on consequitive updates. Which allows for all kinds of fun games to be played. Also such a marker might be hard to find. At which point everyone with emunand - still has a normal functioning switch on the sysnand side - while everyone in the TX' camp doesnt. (This last paragraph is hypothetical. There is no indication, that this is about to happen. But there is always the possibility. And Nintendo has marked specific switches - on the nand, in a certain way before.)

What's to stop me using my SD card that I use for my switch to also hold documents and photos that I have transferred to it using a PC?
Maybe I have a massive SD card and I have a folder on it containing photos I want to show my friends/family.
Maybe a put a few personal documents on there as a form of backup/redundancy?

Yes these are hypothetical situations, but they are not impossible in any way.

The portable HDD I use for my PS3 I also use for transferring large files between computers.
Your sd card can house PII data if they scan it and read it it's a breech in Europe. So all pirates need to do is stick they're CV on the sd and if ninty scan it = profit.

Nintendo can scanned your sdcard without telling you. So many 3DS CFW users got banned after installing Bootstrap9 last year... nobody knew how Nintendo found out, they can banned you without telling you how they found out that you're doing illegal things with their console.

They could just make a partition on the SD that Nintendo won't have the permissions for to access.

Where the hell does it say that? I swear, people nowadays can't read english.

  • Q: Does SX OS supports online gaming?
    A:
    SX OS supports playing online. However, we can't guarantee Nintendo is not able to detect you are using SX OS.
    So playing online is at your own risk.

My 3DS has been hacked for years (a9lh/b9s) and i can still play online with downloaded .cias.

This is how misinformation is spread around. TX did NOT say that you will get banned if you play online. Don't twist their words.

Downloaded .cias do not include headers. People playing with .cia games were mostly only banned for doing stupid sh*t like going online with some new Pokemon game two weeks before release.
Cartridge backups / .3ds roms do indeed include headers though and people were definitely banned for playing online with those on Gateway/Sky and the likes that had headers that were used by thousands of people.
The .cxi cartridge backups include headers as well. I would stay the hell away from going online while being in SX OS altogether. If you boot standard OS, the backups are not registered (just laying around there on the SD), that will surely not get you banned. I think there needs to be another solution for updating games than going online on SX OS and updating a backup.
