We are back with a minor (yet important!) update for SX OS, as well as an PC utility for updating your SX Core/Lite firmware over USB. The latter is required for people who ran tools that were not designed for their Switch console. One example is the popular `Choi Du Jour NX`, which people use to upgrade/downgrade their firmware. This tool was designed for classic erista/rcm consoles, and as such is dangerous to use on mariko consoles.
*That said, lets have a look at the official changelog:*
- *SX Core/Lite firmware v1.3*
SX Core/Lite users will be prompted to install a firmware update upon first launch of SX OS 3.0.3. This is a mandatory update that improves the stability of SX Core/Lite. It also adds hardening against accidental bricks that were caused by running tools designed for Erista/RCM consoles on. People who are unable to run SX OS v3.0.3 because they bricked their consoles are advised to run the standalone USB updater application.
- *New functionality added to SX Core menu*
The SX Core menu in the SX OS boot menu has been enriched with some new functionality for advanced users:
-- *Cleanup:* Will remove any trace of SX Core/Lite on your NAND.
-- *Genuine Boot:* Boot straight into original firmware without going through the typical SX OS bootchain. This is *different* from using the regular boot original firmware functionality, for example you won't be protected from getting your fuses burnt. Only use when you know what you are doing!
- *Minor stability improvements*
You know the drill! Under the hood we're always changing things, to increase both stability and performance of your beloved SX OS.
Both SX OS 3.0.3 as well as the `SX Flasher` application (Currently only for Windows, if there is enough demand we will consider releasing ports for OSX and Linux) are available in the #downloads channel on our chat server. Of course you can also use the over-the-air update functionality from within SX OS!
That's it for today. Stay tuned for more news!
