I've definitely had my moneys worth out of SXOS - so thanks to TX for that, also still using my original xbox & 360 with TX products. Do I regret paying for a product? NO of course not - it's enabled me to do lots of things that would otherwise not be possible. As for the Arrests - even in USA you are innocent until you've been proven guilty.

They say that but in the usa you are really guilty until proven innocent I can not even count how many people they plastered all over tv and put in jail just to find out they did not do it at all, people loose there jobs home family all because they don't care to do there jobs right.

As an american, i can tell you our courts are the most corrput there are, if you can pay of a judge, you can make someone guilty, or innocent, of anything.

I think the SXOS will support more fw update in the future. The dev team is still okay so just need another leader

not likely. nintendo went after sellers, installers, and now the dev team. if I were them, I wouldn't dare continue support. sellers, the ones they went after, no longer offer sx os. installers, the ones on here, asked for their accounts to be deleted. and, the leaders have been arrested. how do you come back from that?

TheCasualties · Oct 4, 2020

Idk, if I were part of the team I'd push for an update that supports atmosphere and leave/disband after that.

Still don't understand how they were found. Must have been though the payments?

Best wishes to them. The mod chip was/is quite important to this scene.

godreborn · Oct 4, 2020

dunno, but I remember back in the ps3 scene they followed the money trail. strange as it may be, but both cobra and true blue lead to the same city in China, so it was most likely the same team, possibly another guise by the sx os team. I remember gary opa insisting they were different people, but no one believed that especially after finding out that the money trail lead to the same city. gary opa has been too buddy, buddy with these teams that are in the scene just to rip you off. I can understand if a modchip is needed, but a lot of the time, there was no need. also, speaking of the ps3 scene, a third group was going to create some sort of dongle, like cobra and true blue, for all future games after the full hack was found, but the three musketeers were like fuck you to them and released the key so that wouldn't happen yet again. hmm, I wonder which city that third group would've been found in.

But i think it's very difficult to catch someone in China

if almost the devs in China, they just need another leader and continue to support SXOS by solfware update only

Let's hold out hope for Gary oPa with powerful soft rock.

Gary will be in our heart for ever.

Shooot,

Will nintendo finally be condemned for the hundred of thousands of overpriced and unreliable contraptions they sold as "controllers" during the past three years ?

Accordingly as your power is great or small, the judgments of a court will whiten or blacken your reputation.

It's not necessarily over. Afaik TX's operation is entrenched in a country (China) that won't extradite criminals to the US. Notice that only two are in custody. They haven't got the third guy from Shenzhen yet because China will put up a middle finger to the US before giving us one of their own.

no they haven't , stop posting misleading shit.

is still up in Uk

I think that's a fake site, it's been going for a while, nothing to do with TX. and the fact that you can access it in the UK shows it has nothing to do with TX.

The real site is blocked by the big ISP's in the UK, I can only access it using a VPN.

As - when I read the fbi report- the sxos team is the same as gateway3ds team (or perhaps closely related) chances for a 'release source to public' are very slim.
Gw3ds is already dead for years but no sources are released

If they can't make more money from SX, they won't support it further. TX doesn't care about you if they don't take your money.

They were prodding the dragon with that Stargate NX stunt. It was beyond obvious that Stargate NX was them. Selling mod chips is a grey area, but selling roms for current gen consoles definitely isn't. Incredibly stupid of them to try that.

I used SX Core on my ipatched v1 switch to use Atmosphere and never ran SX OS CFW ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/install...e-v1-ipatched-is-this-the-correct-way.574536/ ). I never had to request a licence for SX OS as I just used it at boot up and went to Atmosphere from then on. So, at current FW 10.2.0 one can safely install SX Core on a v1 without using SX OS licencing at all as long as one uses it only at boot up in order to launch other payloads and continue with them afterwards.

My question now though is: can a future FW update block that SX OS boot up screen that allows other payloads to boot? If not, then I can safely upgrade emunand via choix and go about my business but if it does somehow block it then my Switch will remain in 10.2.0 with SX OS 3.0.5
