This mostly for me.

Out of pure laziness and terrible soldering skills i would have paid upwards of 100 bucks for a payload dongle.


if there was an easy mass produced one i would be just as in.

key word easy.

This was why I bought it too. On the software side I had no issues waiting for hekate or Atmosphere to mature, but the dongle will remain useful even after the SX software itself becomes redundant.

I released all my IDA dissasemblies and a brief overview of my RE to my private group. Tbh, writing an open source version would be more ideal I think. Maybe even marginally easier/less annoying given that you have to relocate all the addresses in .rodata for all 3 kips. I think TX already laughed their way to the bank though. So its not the highest priority i have atm.

Making open source solution was the right choice and should have been started already long time ago with an option of only loading own back ups instead of some one else to avoid piracy, but it was not done due to moral choices and focused on creating tools for unlocking SX OS (not crack, so someone else can do it instead of those who made tools just to avoid piracy). Its really shame to see no progress from Atmosphere for long time.

but uh if you go to the github they still update the code? hmm?

I'm sure they are working on it behind close doors right now and don't publish publicly it so TX won't constantly steal it - up until the next atmosphere release, that is.

Thats what I mean, they are actively working on it, if you look at there github, they are updating files and folders almost daily

14 hours ago looks to be the last update on there.

What I meant by that are the crucial parts. Yeah, they are constantly updating it, but I am certain that they have a guarding strategy in place.
Or sth. I'm just rambling here.

At the end of the day, efforts towards an open sorice solution are good for the whole scene. I have an SX Pro, it’s great. But it’s not healthy for the scene to perpetually rely on one vendor. We should want the scene to reach a point where closed solutions are no longer required.

I own a Gateway and got great use from it, but it’s good that we no longer need it. I suspect that TX dongle will remain useful even if the SX software becomes unnecessary.

This guy gets it.
The public debate and discourse is important - as long as it is healthy and not solely consisting of the user's display of their false superiorty complex or buyer's remorse.
Especially when expressed in obsessive insults and deliberate distortion of facts.

so when will you think sx os will be cracked?? im tired of using layeredfs.

 

[Localhorst86]

so when will you think sx os will be cracked?? im tired of using layeredfs.

when Half Life 3 is released.

 

[The14thfly]

Updates to what? Publicly available stolen code?

Oh put a sock in it. They're pirates, the people who use their os are mainly pirates. Do you really think anyone gives a single shit?

 

[PeterGemp]

It's a matter of days, really. Decompiling the bins and matching parameters, variables and code snippets will take considerably less time than engineering from scratch.

But let's be frank here, what mods can't you run with layeredfs?

I can't see them releasing a cracked version, it's going to have to be done anonymously, I can't see them opening the floodgates for upto 17m switches being able to fairly easily use a backup loader.

What makes you say that? I guess the limit is your imagination.
Have there not been exploits and backup loaders published on GBATemp for all kinds of consoles in the past?

Really, I am genuinely interested in how you came to that conclusion.

from being a life long pirate, these people are known to the public thru social media, dont you think releasing a cracked version of a backup loader will attract alot of attention from everyone ?

First of all, it is most likely that the big names will offer a patcher or sth similar at most. You will have to provide the SX OS v1.3 from TX homepage yourself.
Soon enough, there will be somebody (less known or anonymous) who wants to streamline the process for all the less well versed users - that somebody will put out a guide with all the necessary files put together in one place to be downloaded. They will find a way as they always do.
From the little I understand about law, the first party doesn't make themselves punishable.

Secondly, do you know that really only a small fraction of nintendo switch owners are willing to stick anything into their joyon rail? Additionally to the many technical obstacles that these processes represent to the layman and the potential to brick your 300$ console and lose the warranty for said product. I think you are overestimating that number.
I'm not going to make claims about how homebrew and piracy possibly supports game and console sales - that is a topic for another time.

Oh well, I'm not here to change your mind if it is changeable at all.
But do make a point if you have a pertinent one.

I think you overestimate the number of user who actually give a F about sticking a jig in their Joy-Con rail and having a "brick code in their software.

People want piracy and they don't care how they get it. The pure fact that the SX OS Pro bundles are sold out instantly gives you a clue about how many people care about that kind of risk and how many actuality don't care and play their backups.

What's with the hostility and the language? Yes, there is a demand.
But it's not as tremendous as our GBATemp filter bubble makes it out to be. We're having a very specific and vocal userbase here.

And yes, of course bigN as well as TX are trying to fight piracy in their respective cases at any cost. I really lost the sense of what this discussion was about..

No hostility here just trying to give you a glimpse of the wider picture. There are maybe what, a hundred, two hundred users tops who are revolting compared to the tens of thousands that are actually using the product as intended.

It looks like the SX OS license binding is based on the CID of the eMMC.
Isn't this something that can be changed on Samsung eMMCs ?!

This would allow to share one license with several devices.
