SX OS v3.0.0 update leaked ahead of official release

iOyV4d5.png

An update for SX OS is inevitable, with Team Xecuter sending out test units of their upcoming SX Core and Lite modchips. And it looks like we can get an idea of what that impending update brings to the table, as the update has seemingly leaked prior to its official release. As of right now, v3.0.0 is only useful to the limited users who have the new Core or Lite chips, but regardless, scene member Hexkyz has made note of some of the finer details for those interested. According to them, this update isn't a feature-focused one, and primarily exists to incorporate the new Mariko and Switch Lite units as part of devices that SX OS can boot on. Hexkyz explains these changes further in a chain of Twitter posts seen below.



The file was available through the Xecuter site, but has been taken down by the team, who has edited the file download link to now say, "leakers are dumb".

So what you are saying is that someone is going to spend their own money to create a clone chip and then give it to everyone for free just to give a big middle finger to TX? I guess a trinket could be used with the right programming for a Mariko since it's form factor already fits in the Switch, but the Lite is a lot tighter on space. Would of course need to be tested and possible break a few Switches in the process either way.

Unless you are talking about the boot.dat specifically. Then yea, I'm sure that will be out anytime now.
I'd assume boot.dat.. With an in depth how to program a chip and what not.

Well... that's embarrassing to say the least.

Guess the people who were looking forward to 3.0 adding some new major features are going to be massively disappointed.

yes, but a weak one, it's not long ago certain people were saying TX had nothing, how wrong they were :O
Are you saying that hexkyz is guilty of underestimating TXOS when it's a known fact that TX was ripping off code? Trolls exist for every single subject on the internet. You aren't doing anyone favors by lumping productive developers with the people who were obviously wrong from the beginning.

funny how that douche calls it "ineffective" when he doesn't even have his own exploit for patched units.
They weren't calling the exploit they used ineffective, they were referring to their attempt to hide mariko keys from being derived by third-parties.

Please re-read the tweet.

what features are people looking forward to?? I genuinely ask. Im very satisfied with the current feature set, I cant think of anything I would want or need.
I agree the only thing left is a coldboot feature or fix current bugs if any.

-keep quarrels to pm-
"This is, however, ineffective."

Pirating the pirates - this is gonna lead to a lot of interesting developments

anyone remember the clone SX dongle that came with a 'cracked' SX license ?, I wonder what became of it :unsure: I think it had a early version of SX so maybe it couldn't be updated to support new firmware?. It's a risk buying clones and is it worth it to save a bit of money ? :O

Anyone know where I could find this 3.0.0?
If anyone has it, any new features? It's been like a year since they've added anything substantial.

EDIT: Wait, I forget that sx has hardcoded keys and shit. Probably against the rules to ask for it.
But if anyone knows of anything actually new, let me know :)
I have requested amiibo support, proper Telsa Overlay support, QR Code support + a new version of SX Installer

Nah I think as a general rule it isn't smart to buy a clone, but waiting for a free option or a reverse engineered option is viable

"Both side"? It's a mistake to assume that people who want to play cheerleader and make baseless claims and insults are actually on the side of the developers who point out real facts and made real developments. When Hexkyz insinuates that he can bypass the DRM aspect of the TX DRM, he probably can. Not the same as giving credibility to some anon troll who says,"TXOS got nuthin' Atmos for life!"

Are you saying there is going to be a free version of the chip released at some point? Wouldn't a reveres engineered chip still be a clone? I mean they're not developing their own chip at that point.

Oh sorry, I meant the software portion would probably be rewritten with some alternative physical chip / alteration
