Another Switch CFW joins the 7.0.X compatible list, and this time it's @Reisyukaku 's and @EliseZeroTwo ReiNX! The update has been rumored for a while and while there is still no stable release, an early build has been shared with the community for anyone who wants to stay on the bleeding edge. The new build chainloads sept to boot on said firmware using a non-byok approach. While most components should work correctly, there are currently some issues that prevent sleep mode from working properly. If you encounter any bugs, you're encouraged to let the developers know by using the discussion thread.

7.0.X release. This is an early build/release that uses sept. Some games may not work as this is an early build, I just wanted to get a release out as fast as possible, there was not much testing of this. If you are not on 7.0.X already then do not update still until further notice. As always report all bugs to me and Rei.

[...]

forgot to mention, sleep mode is broken for the time being.

As previously stated, this is still considered an unstable build and may contain bugs: for this reason the dev team recommends to stay on lower firmware versions until a proper stable release is out. However, if you want to see the build in action for yourself, a link is provided in the sources below.

In all seriousness. Great to see more custom firmwares support 7.0.x so that those people that updated to 7.0 can use CFW. Hopefully they learned there lesson and DON’T update the next time a firmware update comes out.

the github doesn't seem to be updated yet

Yeah, I'll keep an eye on that and update the OP if it will be. Again, it's an unstable build so don't expect a release to be posted there just yet.
Just so you know the build linked in the article's sources comes from the official Discord server and has been posted by elise so it's trustworthy.

Can anyone explain to me what the difference between Rei and Atmos with sigpatches is? Seriously, I have been using SX until now and don't know the difference. And why does sleep mode not work properly when it does on Atmos? Isn't Rei based on Atmos?

They're practically the same but ReiNX is for anime lovers.

Does it display the atmo splash screen?

all right then!
Where's TX OS with Sept logo which supports 7+ FW???

Yet another one join the hype train!

 

[PatrickD85]

Well TX has been very very quite as of late it seems ... but now others have done it ... they will surely follow.

They are not the same since sleep mode is broken with ReiNX. But I am missing why.

 

[Kubas_inko]

Great. But to be honest, reinx is now kinda the worst CFW. (Not as safe as atmo, fewer features,...) But it has anime grils. Everybody wants that.

 

[the_randomizer]

I'm still confused, is this the one that requires one to pay or is this the free CFW?

 

[PalindromicBreadLoaf]

You atleast have a reason. Most CFW users that update just update because their sister’s brother’s cousins’s dog updated it accidentally.

 

[huma_dawii]

Very nice!!! So SX OS is the last one xDDDD and won't ever happen.

well all they need to do is copypaste the code but doing so will also boots Sept logo and TX doesn't want to show to tx os users the existence of other free CFW!

 

[fst312]

Just curious because I haven’t updated reinx in awhile but does reinx have that feature when the switch crashes, just press the volume button to reload into cfw, don’t have sx os but I’m also curious if that feature exists there too.

 

[Draxzelex]

The only CFW you have to pay for is SX OS. Both Atmosphere, ReiNX, and everything else in between is free. And even when it comes to SX OS, its only certain features that are locked behind the paywall.

Right, I remember now, it's been a while.
