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".

Because it allows you to play 1000’s of retail games? $50 once vs $50 everytime you want to play a new game. Which one is less?
You truly are the lowest scum in history, if you can pay that, you can buy games
I support piracy under some cases, but if you can pay for games, no matter how you see it, you are a criminal

Pretty hypocritical statement. Piracy is a crime, right? You can't support it only in SOME cases. You either support it or you don't.

I support it only if you aren't buying a game either way, because you aren't doing harm to sales (if you can still afford the game before pirating it, I don't support it anymore)

Lol are you serious? I’m not even buying this modchip but surely you have the intelligence to realise that being able to afford a one off $50 payment is different to being able to afford multiple $50 payments? I could have to save up for 2 months just to afford the mod chip.

But sure. Lowest scum in history. Hitler and the Holocaust? Nah bro I pirate video games. Rapist? Bro that’s fine as long as you don’t pirate video games.

What a ridiculous statement. You should be embarrassed with yourself.

how is the same price as a retail game not a lot of money
Some of us work for their money and thus can easily afford 50 USD? To me the convenience of trying a game before buying by simply dropping it on SD card as XCI for most games is easily worth the money. No installation orgy to suffer through and I don't have to have my hacked Switch online to use shops with.

Hypocritical, no matter how to you try to spin it. If you take the stance that piracy is horrible and illegal, you can't follow that up with it's ok sometimes as long as you weren't going to buy the game anyways. You're still taking money from the developers. If you're talking about downloading a game, "testing" it and then buying it, I mean it's still piracy is most places, but at least you go buy the game. If you download the game to "test" it and continue to play the game without buying it, well that's obviously piracy. It doesn't matter if you can or cannot afford it. That is no where in the definition of piracy. Good luck winning a case against Nintendo with that as your argument.

Either way you called someone scum of the earth for pirating games and then followed that up with "I support piracy under some cases, but if you can pay for games, no matter how you see it, you are a criminal". That is 100% hypocritical and not how it works.

Piracy is not a crime. It's illegal for sure, but not a crime. It'd be good to use the right words even when you agressively talk to someone ;)

Putting that aside, IMO hacking a console and using it for homebrews (weither it uses a chip or not) is absolutely and perfectly ethical.

Using it to test a game for a few minutes and buy it afterwards if you like it is more discutable but I think it's not a big deal if you do not play the game without buying it. But I guess not everyone will agree with me on that.

Hacking a console to play pirated games is definitely unethical and I think almost everyone here has the same opinion about it.

I do not agree with that. Piracy is illegal in 100% cases, but not unethical. I understand not everyone has the same point of view on that point, but I don't think a person that does piracy to play games they cannot afford in any case is that unethical. When you're using piracy to do something you couldn't do otherwise, I think it's fine. Of course it's only my opinion. The problem being that the vast majority of persons hacking their consoles will play retail games they would have payed otherwise, and that's were it becomes, again IMHO, unethical.

That's fine and all to think that way. I was not talking about ethics. Read that whole convo with the person I replied to. No matter the reason for pirating, it's still piracy. Which is almost every place on earth illegal and a crime. People can't say it's horrible, no one should do it, think about the devs, etc. and then in the same line say it's ok if you can't afford to buy games. If that was acceptable, then everyone would just hide behind "i can't afford to buy them". If I can't afford to buy a car and steal some one, guess what? It's still a crime and illegal. The fact that I can't afford it has no bearing on whether it's a crime or illegal.

I'm not "against" piracy, but I am against hypocritical statements like this. This argument just doesn't make any sense. Also the second part of what you quoted is not from me. I was quoting another user.

After checking, it seems that the word "crime" does not mean the same thing in french and english (I'm french) so it seems I just misinterpreted the term (in french we have "délit" for things like selling meth, stealing, etc. and "crime" for things like rape, murdering, ...). So I apologize for this one.

If I can't afford to buy a car and steal some one, guess what? It's still a crime and illegal. The fact that I can't afford it has no bearing on whether it's a crime or illegal.

So you're talking about piracy here. And once again, I told it was indeed illegal, no matter the reason. What I said though is that it's, IMO, not unethical, which is not the same thing.

For the second part I know I wasn't replying to your message, that's why I used another quote ; )

No problem. I agree illegal and unethical do not necessarily go hand in hand. In the case of piracy and what I was talking to the other user about, the other user called another some user on here scum of the earth for pirating and then said in that same sentence piracy is ok if you can't afford to buy games. That's all I was arguing. It's a hypocritical statement.

Piracy is Piracy. It has a specific definition. You can't change the definition just because someone doesn't have money to buy things. Every person would just say "Well I can't afford the games so it's ok that I pirate them".
