Agreed! I also have all my nsp files on an external drive. This project is really an improvement that we can look forward to, but it's not the holy grail (xci loading) that users secretly wish for.
what's is usb HDD support in regards to nsps? will we be able to install nsp's to an HDD? or does it just means you can put nsp's on an HDD and installs to the sd card?

If direct XCI loading support isn't possible, some sort of "title management" would be nice. For example, if you wanted to play a title on USB device, you could select that title, and oldest titles on SD or internal memory could be deleted to make room for the title on USB device about to be installed.
When direct XCI loading support is possible, it would be nice to have some sort of "parallel install" feature. For example, if you wanted to play a title on USB device, you could select that title, and that title would be launched immediately while it is being installed to SD or internal memory. Once the installation is complete, a notification would appear that the installation is complete, so you can take it out of the dock and play in portable mode.

The ability to install xci or nsp directly via a usb hdd without the need of a nut server will be the final nail in the coffin for sxos on my switch!
Thank you!
Thank you!
you do realise you can already do that with SX OS as well, right?
I'm not seeing the point of migrating away from a product you paid for, which is still supported and has all the features you want? If it were an unsupported product and there were newer firmware which didn't work on it, then that would make sense.. other wise? derp?
I find that sxos crashes a hell of alot compared to atmosphere and the ability to overclock is a big thing for me. I like to tinker with my switch, atmosphere is better for all round homebrew were as sxos is great if you just want to play backup cough "pirate" cough games..
Dont get me wrong I do use sxos from time to time, but as soon as USB support comes in to atmosphere I cant see me using sxos unless they have something else up their sleeves.

fair enough.. I've seen the ''sx crashes'' a few times (actually mostly from people in South America) - while I've never experienced it myself. I do wonder if maybe it's an SD card stability thing?
I think it's more the fact that the code base isn't as current as what the latest atmosphere is...
