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! :)

Weird I plugged in a self powered external 3tb drive and it's just sitting there scanning and flashing up the games on my sd card having the mean spaz. Been doing this for like 10mins.

Max 2tb supported only due to gpt drives not being supported. If you check my previous posts in this thread it explains it further.

You can convert the 3tb to mbr but only 2tb of it will be usable.

play mario kart, undock it and win 1 race and go to the next course, see if it loads. Or in zelda undock it and teleport to another area.
That won't work because the Nintendo Switch constantly checks for the game cart to be inserted in an apt main loop, so it would automatically say that the software closed due to an error.

Probably too big/needs more power. Get a Y cable that draws from 2 usb at once like WiiU usb loading.

Sorry it's a 2tb and it's already mbr. It's self powered so shouldn't be drawing any/much power from the USB port

if we can get a 3rd part developer to make a dock that has a usb port that outputs at 5v then we wouldn't have to worry about burnt out ports or using a Y cable.

Lol, wtf? Voltage isn't the issue current is. The stock dock puts out 5v.

That is pretty odd. USB2 or 3? I had a 60gb that I tried with in a USB2 enclosure with a Y adapter and experienced the same thing. But my USB3 enclosure worked without issue once I removed the power hungry 4tb drive and replaced it with a 1tb.

It's usb 3 reasonably new Seagate drive. I noticed the light doesn't even turn on when it's plugged into the switch so I'm guessing I can't use this drive. Ill see if I can use another one. I have a old 1tb usb 2.0 drive here so I'll test with that
