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)

Can I use this to move new xci to my SD card without restarting the system?

You can use ftp.(available for a while but not fast or ideal for large files)
Or an ext hdd or a thumbdrive. Then you can use the installer to transfer to sdcard from ext hdd/thumbdrive

So yes, no restart needed.

At least try it yourself before spreading wrong information. Of course there's no emulator in there. It just forwards the rom to RetroArch, which has to be set up already on your SD.
Oh, and at least in my case this crashes the console, while loading the Rom in RetroArch itself works fine.

This whole Installer more or less tries to be a complete replacement for the whole Switch UI, an all-in-one solution that can install and run nsp, run xci, run emulator, run homebrew (which I don't really see anyone using for that, tbh - I'd rather use the homebrew launcher which is waaaay less cluttered)

that's the part i am having trouble with is i can never for the life of me seam to be able to setup up RetroArch love to play some N64 stuff, but idont get it the setup , would love a SETUP that was working just to pop on my SD card

That's how retroarch works actually. Get the latest nightly, extract onto SD (delete previous folder), start the nro or nsp and done. Nothing more to it. Tried Mario 64 but couldn't find the overclocking function.

I use this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/nsc_bui...lder-game-updates-dlc-in-a-single-xci.522486/

You need to install python etc, follow instructions. Once it works, it works very well. You can downgrade the firmware check on games also.

See here on my site: --> https://www.maxconsole.com/threads/...switch-cleaner-and-builder.49460/#post-368933

@LupinIII has released some 'drag&drop' scripts that are all pre-configured for it, no complex setup needed, unpack, drop in xci/dlc/updates and bang output in one simple batch.

yes

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I have two .n64 roms in an n64 folder on the root of my sd. I navigate to the game through sx installer and hit "A", but nothing happens. The game doesn't load up. Is there anything else I need?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------



I have no idea what FTP or nut is :(

Make friends with people who do :)

edit: does this file exist sdmc:/retroarch/cores/mupen64plus_libretro_libnx.nro ?

Uh no... you're doing it all wrong... you put the username and password of the ftp server you are connecting to, not your email and password...
So the username would be LGMA and password would be the ip of the server, is that correct? can you please give a rough guide for an example from the lgma server cmd and the installer on the switch, it sounds like I am putting the wrong information in the wrong boxes! I had a feeling I might be doing that part wrong tbh I've never used this sort of method before sending files via ftp to a console, it's all brand new to me the only method that comes close to this was using filezilla on the wiiu and I have used it on the switch a hand full of times via the sxos menu and when it comes to ftp sharing I’m old school.
@SonyUSA sorry to keep bothering you on this but can you please give me an idea of an example thanks I could really do with getting this working it would save me a lot of hassle. All I really need to know is what goes where in the installer settings and then I can change that on my locations to suit my server settings should work.

...except the code itself is licensable.

Anything carries an innate copyright.

Nintendo may not make a distinction, but the court of law wouldn't even involve Nintendo if any of this was ever taken to court outside of potentially them going after TXs XCI loader (which has copyrighted code in it from the normal gamecard loader iirc).

Any project I code or work on, wether it be homebrew or otherwise has a license to me if I'm the original creator. I may need to credit other tools if I use them or am legally not allowed to use certain tools, but any of my work on something is licensed to me.

I can legally file a DMCA claim on my work, wether it's homebrew or not if someone else doesn't properly follow the license.

You may have a boatload of experience when it comes to talking with folks, but Geohot posted a root key for the PS3 on his site (source: Wikipedia) which is a different matter than the type of license violations on Homebrew projects which are being discussed here so I don't know why you're bringing this up. RetroArch doesn't contain any copyrighted content on it's own either.

Also, Nintendo is mostly not interested in going after folks unless they do end up doing stupid shit like the category of what Geohot did. Nintendo only goes after people if they're sure they can make a case (which is why they are able to C&D so many fan projects, suing the NSMBWii leaker or DMCAing freeShop (which itself was based on a loophole in that a lot of CIA homebrew at the time had logo.bin that was quickly removed from makerom).

It's true that Nintendo is much fiercer when it comes to protecting their IP, but from what I know, since the time they fucked up with the GameGenie courtcase, they're usually much more reserved in coming after Homebrew products and only act if they're sure they can make a case.

TX is being much more on the "Nintendo has a solid case" list since again, they use Nintendo's code for loading XCIs if I recall correctly and they used a leaked version of DevMenu in an early release of their software.
And why SX being legally DMCA'd is taking so long? Is proven that things from software like Atmosphere, or even Nintendo itself (Which made a document saying that they are researching how to kill SX and probably will end up discovering this)
If SciresM hates so much piracy, why he don't DMCA SX yet, for example?

Use B to exit the app, you should never use Home button to exit homebrew, especially on exfat.
