Hacking SX OS 1.1 Is Out

[Sopres]

Can anyone 100% confirm the no more fuse burning? I have a Switch on 3.0.0 that I want to upgrade to latest firmware to use SX OS, but I still want to downgrade in the future. I need to be 100% sure this update is legitimate and as advertised.

I'm more impressed about the time they took to release these fixes. Even if they are quick and nothing grand (probably with more bugs even), it's good to know that TX isn't lagging behind

the mail from TX that conatins changelog:


SX OS 1.1 update!

Team Xecuter Distribution

Hello,

We've had an tremendous amount of positive feedback following the release of SX OS! So today we bring you a small update to SX OS.
Simply replace boot.dat on your microSD card with the one from the SX OS v1.1 zip file to complete the update. File can be downloaded from:

What's new in this release?

> Improved homebrew compatibility

We've had reports of some homebrew not running at full speed or not working at all, these issues have been resolved. As you're probably aware, you can enjoy homebrew with SX OS for FREE! (without a license)

> Added fuse burn protection

Some people are worried about burning their consoles' fuses, preventing downgrades and possibly hindering upcoming emuNAND support. To put these minds at ease we now prevent these fuses from burning.

> Support user cert in XCI

To play online your game (XCI) files need to have a unique certificate embedded. We now properly emulate these certificates, so dumps that have them embedded will be able to play online! Beware though, it is *not* advised to share a certificate with multiple people. Your best option is to make a backup of your own cartridges for the games that you want to play online. A way to do this currently is using WAIN v0.0.3, which can be found here:
In the future we will add our own user friendly cartridge backup functionality to SX OS.

That's it for now. We have much more coming for our userbase (CARD2 anyone?) and we hope you're all enjoying SX OS. Finally, we want to apologize to the people who are currently anticipating the arrival of their SX Pro... It will be worth the wait though!

Really? Nothing changed?

Someone claimed earlier that VBA now worked with this update.

I guess it's just pSNES that isn't working right. Strange since it runs fine if I boot with hekate as an external payload.

I'll try VBA but, for example, pSNES still isn't working properly. It runs fine if I load hekate as an external payload. You'd think Team Xecuter could get the simple shit like homebrew working properly.

Homebrew only begins now with SX, tbh. Everything else was a fragmented mess of different version and OS support. SX provides a standard.

Well that's just BS, as without anything before SX, SX would not exist!

It's up to developers of homebrew to adhere to the new and original SX code standard.

Why not play the legit Cards in OFW Online? I think its more safe, then play Dumps with the legit Certs in CFW? In my opinion this is useless

I feel with time it will, specially if sx gets cracked.
I doubt atmosphere will be as easy and adopted at the beginning for a while.

I’m in the same situation as you. I know I need to do a nand backup for my 3.0 but I haven’t come across a guide for 3.0. Then I will need to do the fancy update that doesn’t burn fuses. If you know of a good YouTube video or guide please lmk.

Online play works with my personal dump
Something in me just wants Nintendo to block this to prevent cheating

Are you missing the point here? without the original entry point would TX have even of released anything? easy for them to release shit they're basically being paid to develop

Damn that sucks, I was just about to ask if pSNES works properly now.

I have a feeling that the incompatibly with type 2 game cards is going to get a lot more attention tomorrow..

Hopefully 1.2 is released tomorrow.

Just tested. Compatibility is slightly improved, e.g. snes emulator now loads. But the lag in other emulators are the same as before. More improvements needed.

because what happens tomorrow?
ah Mario Tennis... well if it is type2, and if a dump is released tomorrow

Yeah, lots of big games coming out in these next few weeks, Crash, Wolfenstein, Mario Tennis. All likely they will use type 2 cards.

 

[xiaNaix]

pSNES still does not work but VBA-Next and the SNES9x2010 core from RetroArch seem to run fine.

 

[linuxares]

That was a really good update

 

[WiiuGold]

Mine psnes works fine here
