Modders REALLY need to release an XCI launcher "sig-patch" for Atmosphere, since TX is basically dead now. I don't feel like converting my entire XCI collection into the inferior NSP container type.

Install tinfoil and you have no need for xci or nsp as it downloads and installs on your console like eshop would.

Wait, Tinfoil turned into FreeShop now?
Always kinda had been. You add respiratories from the communities out there that dump them and add them to gdrives and other hosting sites. You could even host your own if you wanted to. Thats the basics

Wouldn't it still take NSP's from the repositories and install those?

Also installing over wlan is slow AF and unreliable. I just use my laptop to download XCI's directly to my USB SSD as fast as my ISP allows (1Gbps). Then I connect the USB SSD to my switch and install at my convenience using SX Launcher from album.

This is what Atmosphere fanboys fail to realize. The whole point of SX OS is convenience. Built in installer. Built in XCI loader. Built in sigpatches. It's not meant to be a diss to Atmosphere, but just an enhanced fork of it.

Tinfoil isnt slow, look at changing your settings.

Its the problem with nintendos chea shit wifi card and settings.

Yes sx os is convenient as its a single file and that it, but its safe to say its now abandoned, no distribution and sales of chips means the guys updating the firmware wont work for free.

It would be handy if atmos could mount usb drives to install games directly to

Well, yeah. The wifi would make the installing tinfoil slower than just using the XCI. But the method would still be wayyyyy slower regardless of whether it's the app or the hardware. It's just inefficient in comparison to USB.

I read in another thread that SXOS is pretty close to being completely reverse engineered.

Exactly right. It's a shame that Michael is so against piracy, or else we'd have all the best of SX OS preinstalled for free, sigpatches and all. I'm kind of upset that nobody has made a fork of Atmosphere with the sigpatches already included in the installer. Seems like a no-brainer to get noobs off on the right foot.

I thought not including the patches and enabling piracy was more of a legal issue. Not explicitly being against piracy. Also, weren't there a few "AIO" packages out there? Actually, aren't there right now?

I'll be honest, I haven't touched my banned CFW switch in almost a year, so I'm able bit out of the loop. There just haven't been many good games coming out lately.
