Aren't they all based on atmosphere tough!?

Oh wow, that logo....

My Matrix Infinity PS2 is still going strong to this day. Why don't newer consoles get made with the same reliability?

Dear friend

You are receiving this email because you have updated your information in our register and / or because you are one of our VIP clients.

Anyway, as we promise, follow good news, first hand!

MTX Switch RCM Dongle:
- compatible with MTX custom fw and other open source RCM fw / payloads.
- internal battery that lasts up to 2 years or ~ 4000 boots
- going into production soon

MTX custom fw can run from MTX dongle or from a PC without the need for a license (in other words, it is free and will not be connected to a specific dongle or console).

The first picture of the product is attached.

We will have more news coming soon!

A hug

Wait if it's an RCM dongle, why does it need a battery? And if it does actually need to have one, can it be recharged?

SX OS seems to have used Atmosphere code as well.

what the email or discord of this team matrix ?

 

[cearp]

OK then. I can get the point in modding, of course, but cheating, really, I don't get it. Maybe it's just not for me.

modding and cheating are very similar.
what's the user difference between a mod that makes you run faster vs a cheat that makes you run faster?

 

[PurpleSkunk]

Yeah, I wasn't talking about this type of mods, more about the enhancing ones, generally speaking (texture changes, total conversions, feature additions, ...)

Nintendo: MAKIO MOTHERFUCKERS!
It was ages ago this team was active. So very intresting.

 

[PatrickD85]

Hmmm still interesting development. But waiting on more specs etc.

 

[wurstpistole]

So this is basically the poor man's SX Pro? How come NOBODY ever heard of this before?

 

[meiersas]

no loadable battery in the dongle would be a nogo for most users
sx pro would be a better choice

As far as I know the SX Pro have no battery at all. It's just capacitors that is loaded.

yeah, but the matrix one sounds like 2 years or 4000 boots and you are fucked
sx pro dont have such limits because you can load the dongle each time for some boots

It's probably just a tiny 2302 battery or something that you can easly exchange.

 

[MDashK]

Something that I still don't understand:
Why do these dongles, this one and SX OS one, need battery/capacitors in the first place?
Don't they get powered by the switch itself? Doesn't the Switch connection send power to the adapter? Or is the Switch not able to power the dongle up?

 

[Localhorst86]

4000 boots in 2 years? Who reboots their console 5 times a day?

it's just saying how long the battery inside should last.
(because they use a battery, not capacitors like tx)

 

[Sgt. Lulz]

It's probably just a tiny 2302 battery or something that you can easly exchange.

I think the lifespan bit refers to the battery's expected lifecycle, e.g. when manufacturers say a battery will last up to X or Y full charges.
My guess is they're using a cheap, ~500mAh LiPo cell with a battery management IC to keep the dongle's long-term charge span reasonably long without sacrificing size.
The supercapacitors in TX's dongle are really quite fat compared to the rest of the device.

Why is this thread so silent? These are Major news for the Scene.
It also would be nice to have a official thread of the developer himself.

need to power up the dongle in order to send payload to switch.
sx pro dongle uses capacitor, it draws power from switch instead.
this one uses external battery.
