Homebrew Discussion SX OS Crack Thread

[smf]

Why are these teams scrambling to discredit and crack SX OS to add it's features to their "free" software? Why not use their own code?

Some of the features in SX OS are using their own code.

TX don't have a monopoly on stealing code

Saying you shouldn't steal from TX is like when Bullies cry when someone fights back.

Now, after a twitter discussion I'm actually curious.

Would it be possible to completely "un-TX" both the dongle and the boot.dat? Considering the bricking problem, it'd be quite a relief to see the whole thing isn't completely useless.

Since the dongle has a USB connector, and the whole thing is designed to be "updateable" I bet it would be possible to flash a custom payload on the dongle and get a boot.dat that just boots hekate or something.

I don't have a dongle, so can't say that for sure. But TX advertised, that the dongle is able to push any custom payload you want. So that theoretically should work, if they hold to their word.

hope this gets cracked soon, I would just buy it but I'm hesitant because of the brick code

Then buy it, so you are less likely to have to worry about the brick code.

Ive made up a game I play every time I read this forum on the weekends where I take a shot every time I see the word hacking and hackers used by 10 year olds ,as if they actually knew what a hacker or hacking is in reality.

Getting it cracked will make you more likely to get brick code

BUY IT.
this thread is pointless.

The fact that it stole code and has brick code are reason enough not to buy this.

They like to pirate? Funny because the dev of Hectate stated he HATES piracy .hypocracy at its finest.

Two important points to consider:

It's not just one person involved in all of this, you can't judge one dev for what others say.

They hate TX more than they hate piracy.

As a dongle owner I can say that's true, but it still requires SX's boot.dat, which contains the brick code. When you boot with the dongle inserted it gives you the options to boot SXOS, OFW, and "options" where the "execute custom payload" option is hidden and can load .bin files on the SD. But the payload on the dongle can't be touched as of yet.

Then buy it, so you are less likely to have to worry about the brick code.

Unfortunately not. It's poorly implemented and can be triggered accidentally.

You can actually choose what payload to load by pressing + prior to booting this is well known

Not sure what you mean, you mean when autoRCM is installed?

It makes no difference to some people on here

how can you be a pirate with a conscence and be against other pirates for using or buying a program that uses some code from another program, but you don't have a problem with using rom images for the Switch that you've downloaded or roms for homebrew emulators?. it's still piracy.

stolen code, i think most people don't care about that they just want to play rom images.

as for brick code, well I've had 2 gateway cards for over 3 years and the 4 * 3ds XL's that they been in still work after 1000's of hours of use, none are bricked.

if you dont like TX don't buy the product simple as that. time to move on..

 

[numbawun]

why do people want this to be crack if they dont want piracy?.

sx os was free to use for homebrew. it will only need license when you need the backup loader (piracy thing).

about the brick code. then dont use this. there are other options out there for homebrew no need for crack SX OS..

Not everyone has the same motivation but i can see 3 different motivations
A) They like piracy but do not want to spend money on it
B) They do not like piracy, as such want this to be cracked to cut some sales from the company, this group would not use this cracked.
C) This is the group of the devs that are cracking it and they seem to be cracking it for fun, for them is like playing a game, is a hobby.

whoever cracks it, if they do, do you really think they will release it, I doubt it

some of these people or groups state they are against piracy, so why would they crack SX enabling everyone to play rom images and not just those who bought SX?. They would be opening the floodgates..

I don't know, maybe... You can't see them as groups that much in the case of the devs, they are individual people that can think and act on their own.

I doubt Pragma would ever release a crack if he did crack it or anyone else who was linked with him, you don't know what the consequences would be if it was traced back to them.
