SX_Installer_App.jpg

As you all know by now, when TX released their SX OS v2.4 earlier this week, there was a video released alongside it, and in it people quickly noticed there was a new app called 'SX Installer', well it was not fully ready then, but now is available for all to enjoy! :)
After a successful SX OS launch earlier this week (to support firmware v6.2) many of our users were asking where the SX Installer was that was teased in our new 'Features Showcase' video that was also released. :)​

With great excitement we present to you SX Installer v1.0 – Now Available for download at: –> sx.xecuter.com

This full featured app takes care of installs and so much more! In fact, an overview manual is now being prepared along with screenshots and detailed information on how you can better utilize all of the features we have packed into it.

This manual will be available on our SX Portal page when it is completed, in the meantime we have opened up a dedicated 'support forum' for the app, and have decided to release it now, to get it in the hands of our loyal SX OS users so you can right away start enjoying the many functions and features it has to offer.

Basically, at its core SX Installer is an advanced NSP Installer, that allows you to simply list, view, in one easy step, automatically install all your NSPs, along with the matching Game Updates, and DLC Packages, and these can be search and grabbed from many locations, including: FTP, HTTP, NUT Server (separate app on your PC), SD, USB HDD and NAND.

But that is not all it can do, as you can see from the quick overview below of the main functions. SX Installer has the ability to directly launch XCI games, and even launch your Classic Retro 'Game ROMs' for various different emulators installed, and of course your favorite homebrew apps. It even has a built-in file browser!

PLEASE NOTE: (currently .xci launching is only supported in firmware 5.x or below – 6.x support is on it's way!)

To get started, unpack the downloaded sxinstaller.zip and move all of the contents to the root of your SD card. The "sx.nro" file should be stored in /switch/sx/

Below is just a quick overview of the main functions of our SX Installer App:
  • Ability to show titles in table view, or icon cover view.
  • Install NSP's from FTP, HTTP, NUT, SD, USB HDD, and NAND.
  • Ignores firmware requirement when installing.
  • Ability to queue multiple title installs.
  • Ability to search titles.
  • Ability to list and delete tickets.
  • Ability to export all title keys installed on the system.
  • Ability to overclock to install faster in some situations.
  • UI Translation into 12 languages.
  • Title meta-data translation into 12 languages.
  • Downloads and displays game artwork (internet connection required).
  • Ability to list, view, and delete application records (lets you uncleanly forcibly uninstall a DLC or update)
  • Ability to list installed titles, and launch them (launching is 5.x and below only)
  • Ability to list XCI's mount them, and auto-launch (launching is 5.x and below only)
  • Ability to list and install new games available, with the option to install all new games
  • Ability to automatically install the latest patch and all DLC with a game.
  • Ability to protect users from running malicious unsigned code accidentally by blocking all unsigned code installation unless explicitly enabled.
  • Ability to list and install newer updates available for your game(s), with the option to install all updates
  • Ability to list and install newer DLC available for your game(s), with the option to install all DLC
  • Ability to list all incomplete installs (like when the SD gets corrupted, or you swap SD cards without copying data), with option to reinstall all of them.
  • Ability to list and launch NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBA, SMS, SG, SCD, GG, and SG1000 RetroArch games.
  • List and launch Homebrew apps
  • File browser that lets you explore your file systems, delete files (SD only), and copy files (only SD is writable)

That's it for now! Have fun diving into all the cool features this app has to offer. Keep your eyes peeled for the full manual. It will be posted as soon as it's ready! :)

Ok, yes, clicking the right stick works with SX-installer aswell ...
BUT ...
You can only change the view between NEW and ALL if you have minimum 1 new.
Without a new one there appears no <NEW ...> tab :(

You definitely can't start direct from the SX-installer. It's just "inserting"/mounting the XCI like normal and you have to start it out of the normal Switch menu.
Anyway: Launching is 5.x and below only. This doesn't refer to the installed firmware but to the key of the XCI !!! So all XCI with masterkey above will NOT work.

Store XCIs in "mount" folder
Store NSPs in "install" folder
To avoid scanning on load
Go to File Browser > sdmc or sxusb to mount an XCI or install a NSP.

Is it true if i install a new game it will then search for DLC + updates?
Click to expand...

If you have the DLC and Updates in a folder that is readable to SX Installer or a server added to it, it will find it and load it for you if you want it. It WILL NOT automatically get anything from Nintendo, you must supply the sources for it.

Thank you.
So i add a game. To obtain the update or DLC i need to add a source.
Question is how do i add the source through sxox installer?
Also if i obtain a 2TB portable hard drive and plug into the switch dock will the dock provide enough power to run it?
Where would i locate the game for the sxos to see it please?
Thanks

If it's a 2.5 portable, probably, if its not in a cheap enclosure. Full size, no.

Wait for the manual I guess

Try this: https://github.com/andresoviedo/google-drive-ftp-adapter

I've never used it... but I think it will do what you need :D plus it's open source and free!

Edit: Since it looks at your files, if you are a dirty scumbag software pirate not using your own legally made backups, then you may need to "copy to my drive" first on the files you want... :P

If you take a look at the bridge connector error log you'll see that when it's trying to read the header for information java throws some exception and blows up the connection, causing that error. Two posts down from that I said I was having trouble xD It -almost- worked xD

Restart your Switch... I ran into that issue as well for some reason, restart will fix it.

If you are trying to install a game that requires 6.2 keys it will fail, you need an installer that can handle 6.2 key games and then manually supply the keys to the app, ignoring the firmware requirement wont help with the lack of keys P:
