TX Announces SX OS v2.2 BETA with Docked USB Drive Support

It's only been a week since Team-Xecuter made the big announcement of SX OS v2.1 with their 'cheat engine'

And now they are back and on a roll with them adding 'Docked USB Drive Support' and many other nice improvements to their 'cheat engine' and a few bug fixes! :)
How do you do, dear SX OS users?

Today we are back once again with a much anticipated new feature as well as various improvements to existing functionality for SX OS. While this is still labelled as BETA we've had some good success with it internally, we're looking forward to your feedback.

Lets jump into the list of changes!
  • Docked USB drive support!
Yes. You read it right. You can now plug a USB mass storage device into your switch' dock and load XCI or install NSP content from there directly. No longer are you limited by the size of your microSD card when playing the switch from the comfort of your couch, but you can now enjoy TERABYTES of content by using external harddisks and such! The filesystem on the drive needs to be either FAT32 or exFAT, and the directories that are being scanned for content are equal to the ones you'd use on the microSD card.
  • Updates to the cheat system
    • More accurate progress indication during cheat search
      People were reporting "freezes" during cheat searches, often times these were just due to impatience and a suboptimal UI from our end. The progress bars are more honest and update more frequently now!
    • Cheat search for exact value requires no initial dump anymore
      For 'exact value' searches a big initial dump file on your microSD is not needed, and since this is often the way people start a cheat search we decided to streamline the cheat finder process a bit. You are now prompted with a question whether you want to start an exact value search or arbitrary value search, in case of the former the process will be much faster.
    • Automatically apply/disable cheats upon toggle
      The interface for "applying" the cheats was a bit counterintuitive, you now no longer have to press the plus (+) button in order to apply cheats. They are automatically applied/disabled once you toggle them. Disabling cheats now properly works as well, so there's no need for having a dummy cheat any more to work around that limitation.
    • Ability to add cheats using the UI
      Identifying memory locations for cheats using just the console is nice, but previously there was no way of adding an actual cheat-code for a location you found to the cheat code library. This has been addressed, and there is now an interface for doing this directly from our menu.
  • Show homebrew NSP icons in TX menu
    Some homebrew NSP titles were not displaying their icons properly. This has been investigated and fixed.
  • Fix error 2345-0021 when in docked mode opening TX menu
    People who play/cheat in docked mode will like this fix. The frequent crashes that happened when opening the TX menu in docked mode are now a thing of the past!
That's it folks. Enjoy this BETA and let us know what you think. We have more tricks up our sleeves, more rabbits in our tophats. And we only have one gear: FORWARD.

Enjoy! :)

Now all we need is to be able to move XCIs to SD from HDD. Then, I'd never have to turn my switch off again -_-

aren't there file manages for switch? dopus / d1pus / whatever it's called.. should allow you to copy files from USB HDD to SD with no issues. No need to use a PC to FTP files etc. do it with the file manager on the switch itself.

I thought being able to read off a USB HDD was a new feature. If there's already file managers, then I've really been out of the loop a while >_>

a file manager is literally just an app which allows you to view files on whatever storage you've got in NAND or SD card.. nothing at all to do with USB.

I just checked and n1dus is cancelled and removed AGAIN.. so I'm sure it won't take someone long to write a simple file manager allowing you to copy or move files between USB and SD storage spaces directly on the switch.

NXshell - existing file manager for switch.. google found it for me in seconds after posting here.

Installing to HDD is nice, but that also means any games on my hDD cant be played on the go.

That applies to any xci that's on the HDD. The whole point of using an HDD is for docked mode only. Having an HDD dangling to your switch hardly makes it a portable solution. I wish the switch wasn't' portable or was more like the wiiu, honestly. I mean the scribblesnauts games are shit on the switch when in docked mode.

ya can load xci from hdd but if i need update and dlc. can i install them on hdd or do i have to do it on sd
as of know it seems you have to install updates and dlc to sd card. untill tx makes it possible to install to HDD.

People actually fails to understand that xecuter also can chainload free alternatives, this means that it has everything that free cfws have plus the paid features.
When you chainload another cfw your not using sx though, your using the cfw that you chainloaded

And as I said in my comment there’s no features exclusive to SX that I care about so why would I buy it. Also I don’t pirate games :P
