The day has come!
TX are delighted to announce the release of their SX OS, which is already available by the time of you read this!

Earlier today, we leaked the news that SX OS was finally going live later on this evening, and it did so a little while ago and there has already over 1k downloads and many happy SX OS users around the world are already enjoying wonderful homebrew, powerful Linux and the very latest in Switch games on their now fully unlocked Nintendo console, so check out below their official launch PR, and when you read thru it below, notice the nice gift that TX is allowing us, 'homebrew' for FREE, no license is needed!

SX OS is a custom firmware that can be used with the SX Pro tool kit (strongly recommended for ease of use and safety) or for advanced users as a stand alone OS.

Once you download SX OS from our website, please follow the basic tutorial also available on the same page to install it on your Nintendo Switch. A complete tutorial and advanced manual will be available in the days to come.

If you did not purchase a SX Pro or a SX OS license, Team-Xecuter still provides FREE homebrew support and loading from a non activated SX OS install. This is a small gift to all 'sceners' who are only interested in homebrew. After all, Team-Xecuter also comes from the homebrew scene and after all these years, we are still glad to contribute now and then to this scene who brought us where we are now.

To unlock ROMs loading and more advanced functions, you need to purchase a SX Pro – our top selling product – or SX OS license. They are available from resellers worldwide. A list of trusted distributors can be found HERE.

• If you did purchase a SX Pro, then your license is included in your dongle. Simply follow the instructions from our quick tutorial.
• If you purchased a SX OS license, then once your vendor email it to you, please use it and follow instructions from our quick guide to activate it.

OK, we know you are eager to test it out, so we will stop here. SX Pro and SX OS are a year in the making. It required massive team work from all of Team-Xecuter members to reach this V1.0 we believe will be your best purchase on Nintendo Switch.

As usual here is a few Q&A for the early SX OS users that have already downloaded our SX OS:

• Q: How do I re-enter TX boot menu
  A: Press and hold vol+ and keep holding until you see the TX splash screen

• Q: How do I access my albums while in SX-OS CFW mode ?
  A: Hold down L while opening album

• Q: How do I access HomeBrew ?
  A: Hold down R while opening album

• Q: How do I load my backup roms ?
  A: Simply enter album an select you rom file, all rom files should be placed in the root directory of the console micro SD

• Q: HomeBrew menu loads but none of my apps are showing, what is wrong ?
  A: Please try re-format the micro-SD card using a windows machine, we have encountered this issue when using OS-X ex-fat formatted cards.

But as usual, it is a work in progress. We received a lot of requests for new features to be added in future updates, and our skilled developers are already working on it even as V1.0 is only being rolled out.

We really value your purchase, and we will do our best to bring you the best new updates and features in the years to come.

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the reply!

No problem!

Another question : the usb-c cable bundled with the pro controller is a charge only cable or can it be used for transfer? I don't have any other cable so I would like to know if I can use it to put the payload

Its data as well, as the pro controller can be used wired as well.

Thanks, that's good to know

Is it good quality?

Ya, it's better quality than the many I have for my phone/tablet. I have a Pixel C, a Pixel XL, a Pixel 2 XL had 3 note 7s, so needless to say I have a bunch of USB C cables lol.

I will check the speed if you'd like.

Edit: I moved a file from my PC to my phone, the Samsung cable and Google cable and the switch cable all seem to be about the same speed. For a 1gb file.

The Switch pro cable is about 3x thicker than the Samsung cable, and 1.5x thicker than the Google cables.

So yes, I would actually say, the Pro cable is the best USB C cable I own, out of about 10 in the house.

For some odd reason though the pro controller usb-c cable never worked for me with RCM payloading, I had to use a random Belkin one to pull RCM payload loading of
Otherwise no APX device. Might be an OSX compatiblity thing though.

That is strange, maybe do you have an older pro controller? Mine is newer, not a launch model. So everyone's experience may vary. However I would definitely attempt the Pro cable first. It's way better quality than any cable I have.

On another note. There keeps being a false sense of security pushed around here lately.

A warning to those that don't have 2 switches (I do ) read this, all of it. If you go online, you will likely be banned.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks/comments/8rxg26/psa_strong_antipiracy_measures_implemented_by/

If you have multiple switches or don't care about being banned, diregard this. I just don't want to so folks unkowingly get banned, thinking online is safe like it was for 3DS. It isn't, proceed with caution.

This also goes to those who want to play pirated games on SX OS then jump back to Horizon and play Splatoon. There is a strong possibility that will still get you a ban.

Indeed launch day Pro Controllers only so that might be an actual difference.

It very well may be. I know there was a DPad issue with the launch ones, that are not present in mine.

Man I completely misread the original conversation. I thought the SX pro came with a usbc cable and was asking about that, it probably only comes with a micro usb cable.

Well I'm waiting to see if offline homebrew are risky tbh

ohhh thought we were talking about the pro controller. May have been my bad.

You guys seriously paying for piracy? Just LOL.

I didn't pay for piracy, I paid for a convenient way to RCM on the go. Piracy is just a perk.

No card2 support. What a load of crap.

 

[pLaYeR^^]

No card2 support. What a load of crap.

As far as I know there are only six card 2 games so far. And I'm sure they'll add card 2 game support in a future update.
