From Team Xecuter:

We have addressed two (important) regressions in this new 2.6.1 BETA release.

  • SXOS Online License Activation
    People who anticipated the 2.6 release for a while but didn't have a valid license on their microSD card yet experienced an issue where they were unable to activate their copy of SX OS. This has been addressed and fixed!
  • USB Harddisk support regression
    It turns out that we broke support for USB Harddisks on firmware 7.x during our final iterations of development. This has been corrected, you can all enjoy your external storage again!

Nice to get a fix quickly, I've still not updated yet as I'm using custom themes - and I can't be bothered to see if they are compatible just yet. But thanks TX.

Testing sx os 2.6 on 7.0.1 for a day and so far so good most homebrews still works (retro,checkpoint,nxshell,nxmtp,ftp,etc...) only thing that doesn't work was tinfoil and goldleaf but that's because of new keys.

how about lithium and sx installer v1.5, do they work under 2.6.1 please?

Nice to see the mods on top of the unnecessary comments by the same users.

I expect this thread to be 15 pages of shit posting by the usual suspects by the time I finish work this afternoon.

I heard it has support now for reboot to payload just as AMS do, can you just reboot pressing volume keys when the system crashes?

Which are the keys you need to press? I will give it a try
Nevermind, that's not working, tried it crashing retroarch and just got the original crash screen, pressing vol key did nothing.

    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    That sounds really cool
