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.

--< Team-Xecuter - Rocking the Switch in 2018 and beyond! >--
Enjoy! :)

I don't mind the limit being 2tb, it's good. I just want to be able to install NSP there, in the hard drive, and have some homebrew updated with hdd support. Nonetheless this is awesome.

How many times do we have to explain that the switch only supports MBR and not GPT partitions?

MBR has a limit of 2TB

Unless TX can rewrite horizon OS to support gpt partitions....I don't see that happening

Can’t one just partition a 6Tb or whatever into 2TB each? So even tho you can’t have one 6TB u can have 2TB 3 different partitions. A=2TB
B=2TB
C=2TB

You could do that, but you'd have to plug it into your computer to make which partition you want to use primary. Then plug it back into the switch to see the files on that partition.

I can read just fine, that's how I know both of you are commenting on something you know nothing about. The fact it has micro-usb is irrelevant. It also has type-A which will work fine on the dock.

So what was the whole point of your unintelligible, unnecessary and down right trollish response?

From my experience, only the first partition is visible, the rest are locked, hidden and inaccessible.

Except he didn't you ignoramus
He meant plugging directly into the switch you arse
Well I guess that's all how you interpret "port" but in your case then just get one with the type-c.

And too bad you live across the border, weed was just legalized here, looks like you could use a toke.

See that? I helped everyone with useful information so now all bases are covered instead of degrading myself with immature responses that help nobody. You should try it sometime.

I use Windows 7. Windows will only see the first partition that is set as primary. You can have as many set as primary as you want, but Windows (and the Switch) will only see the first one set that way. But it does not matter where the partition is. I made 3 partitions, had no problem putting in different files in each partition and verifying that I had that partition on the Switch.

Now I use MiniTool Parition Wizzard Free to do this and it takes a few minutes to set the stuff down, but it works just fine.

Please note: In the normal windows file explorer, you'll never see the logical or non first primary partitions. You have to use a program like the MiniTool. Windows 7 Admin tools do not work for this.

Are you on dock or handheld mode? Use the usb 3.0 port on dock mode.OTG USB 3.0 or USB B to C cable to connect HDD on handheld mode.

So what is the scan priority for this?

Lets say I boot my SX OS from an internal MicroSD with a few XCI's on it. I then, without rebooting, want to plug in my USBC to microSD adaptor on the go (bottom switch port). Will the album menu load the XCI's on the external SD card instead? Combine them with whats on the internal? Just a little confused how that works./

What would be the safest way to swap SD cards then? (Not the internal of course) Just make sure a game is exited and hot swap the sd cards on the adapter?

Thanks!!
