Switch Day D is here: SX OS from Team-Xecuter is now out in the Wild!

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.

@garyopa when do we expect more license keys for purchase/generated? All of your resellers are out of stock :/

There is backlog of emails, some resellers had to switch services as their ip's got blocked for 'spamming' too many emails. -- As the dragon boat festival slowed things down, as emails are by handled by the china side, not the tawian factory side, then should be back to work in 6 to 8 hours so give them a bit to catch up, and then i guessing by tomorrow you will see resellers putting it back as 'in stock'

Its a 16mb zip file, clear your cache and try again, I had problems like that also, i had to dump my own firefox cache and reboot and then it worked.

Also I hear of issues with 'download' on mobile phones, since it goes thru javascript window, so try your desktop PC instead.

Allen is sleepy head, its only 8:33am there and the holiday ends at 9am, and normally he rolls into the office after lunch, so give him some time to catch up, I still waiting for him to send me my tracking number for my PRO.

Thats if you ordered 'SX OS' If you ordered the dongle you just get it sent to you with the license pre-loaded on.

Clearly you haven't been paying attention to these boards. We are supposed to have a SEPARATE EMAIL WITH OUR LICENSE KEY. I'm not the only one who was told this. We are supposed to get our license code so we can use the OS while our dongle ships.

I'm sorry but clearly you've been misinformed.
I'll leave you to figure that out for yourself.

the dongle is the license activation key, you need to get the dongle to use it

I dont think they will send you the Code, because even on their faq and the page it says that if you have the dongle the license comes with it so it uses that activation, maybe @garyopa can help us lol
