Hacking SX OS vs SX Pro

[Kyuuketsuki]

Thanks, but the archive seems to be corrupted

I'll see if I can do this easier.


[Quick Tutorial]

Part One: Downloads

Download NXL and install it on your phone/tablet (be sure to have "unknown sources" switched on).

Download the SXOS payload.bin and place on your phone/tablet (somewhere you can find it once on NXL).

Download the SXOS boot.dat and place on your Switch SD's root.


Part Two: Setting Up

Open NXL after you've installed it.

Locate the payload.bin file and you'll have this part sorted.

On your Switch, set to RCM with the JIG vol+ and power buttons.

Connect the USB to your device and Switch (I use a OTG microUSB and a USB-C cable) and you'll see that glorious SXOS screen.

Go into the options and hit the Auto-RCM button and then go back and load the CFW.

Click the Album button, press R and then you'll be presented with the screen to input your SXOS license code.

What's better with 7zip compared to WinRar?

You have to pay for WinRar (to skip the bypassable notifications), but technically they're the same thing. I prefer 7Zip for archiving the data in my edited apk files, which are just renamed rar files.

Make sure their parents are ok with you getting their Switches banned first.

They'd only get banned if they played pirated games online, correct?

That's really cool that you are teaching your nephews about running linux and homebrew on their switches. That's what your using it for right?

Precisely

Thanks very much, it seems quite a good way with an android device. I mainly use iOS but have an android phone.

Obviously a license is required still but I suppose it’s a good stable cfw.

Thank you

You're welcome.

Android phones are quite handy to have lurking around, because I've read that phones that are 3+ years are working (basically it's just the OTG compatibility needed for NXL).

You can't share a dongle.

I read that you can. My already licensed Switch takes a dongle fine. The dongles extra license will remain unused until it's put in a new Switch.

I was also wondering this. I went ahead and purchased the non pro version as there was a back order on the pro. Does anyone know if there are any alternative dongles to the one that’s with SX pro? Preferably one that is tiny.
