I don't know who is more of a fool... OP for posting something that no one knows at this point. Or the second post that's telling the OP that it's safe when he clearly has no clue.
Give it a week or two and you'll see. It's the same with everything really. If you want to minimize the risk, wait until others test it out for you.
Yeah I guess I have no clue...I'm only using it right now lul
Edit: And how would "no one know" are you retarded or just really fuckin dumb?

I'm using the new update right now and it seems safe. You have nothing to worry about if you've done a backup(both NAND and SD).

First thing it's a beta, in big bold letters. If you think that's stable then I'm afraid you are unstable.
Second, it's been out for a few hours. Noone knows about possible bricking because of poorly implemented features or dunno what. It's completely possible.
The fact that you are using it now tells us absolutely nothing.
The smart way to do it is to wait until it's researched and tested enough to say it's somewhat reliable and safe to use.

edit:
@Illuminaticy
You really are trying to sound as stupid as possible right?

It's safe enough. I'm pretty sure OP does realize that he's about to use beta(hence using the word "BETA" in the title) and was merely asking if it doesn't brick on boot or something stupid like that, no need to get overdramatic about it.

I'm very unstable, doesn't mean betas are unstable, especially from TX.

True, but there's this thing called....a....NAND....BACKUP...
And also this thing called....DON'T....BE....RETARDED....

It tells me and others it's working

The pussy way* Not everyone needs their hand held for this shit.

Glad we are both unstable still you cannot claim it's safe. Yeah NAND backups are of course possible and advised but as you probably know not everyone is doing them. I'd bet my hat that 90% of the people with SX didn't backup. Especially less tech-savvy users like OP (correct me if Im wrong OP)
Sometimes the pussy way is the right way. Especially with market such as CFW you never know what you get. It's not like they'll refund you if they fuck up your Switch :)
Of course it's been confirmed it's working I just wanted to say that it's not wise to claim it's safe when it's been released for a few hours and isn't explored yet.

I've noticed 2 bugs on the 2.4 beta,i've been using emunand on sd card with 2.3 beta succesfully for a while now and tried the 2.4 beta but it went black between the nintendo and switch logo's when booting into sx os emunand 2.4 beta.I went back to 2.3 and everything is ok.The other bug is the screen froze when launching payloads from emunand options 2.4

I noticed that on SX OS V2.4 Beta when going into the SX OS Recovery menu when selecting Launch external payload, in the moment you select it it freezes. Anybody else having this issue?

From my experience when using SX OS, as long as you only use the beta version to load xci (which is what the OP intended to do, nothing else), it's stable enough.
The things that might get buggy is the features that come with it, ie. the emunand and the embedded homebrew menu which is why it is still in beta since Tx is still trying to improve and fix these features.

Oh ok. I was trying to boot Atmosphere Via SX Pro dongle (Which it does fine in version 2.0 i had) We will see in the future if they fix it.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
