Everyone has been wondering how things are moving along with getting the SX PRO devices into the hands of the official resellers, and today we had the pleasure to be given an exclusive tour of the inside of the Team-Xecuter factory, and we took some cool photos of the assembly line in operation, and at the same time the developers took a break out of their busy schedule to answer some more of your questions you been having recently since the last SX update a few days ago.

The clock is ticking and we are getting closer to Xecuter SX line launch date.

We wanted to share some of the pictures of the first units coming out of our assembly lines and of the packaging for SX Pro. We are very satisfied with the product quality and we are certain you will be as well. We will have some video and maybe another announcement coming and then it will be TIME!

Before we leave you, our usual Q&A to your most popular questions.

• Q: Is SX OS compatible with firmware 5.1.0
  A: Of course. And as we stated before, it will be compatible with the next updates as well. We are offering a future proof solution.

• Q: Will the SX OS for people who bought it 'stand alone' be delivered before the SX OS for people who bought SX Pro?
  A: Not necessarily. SX Pro will be shipped in the days to come to distributors. SX OS will be unlocked a bit after the reviewers get their units (all reviewers receive SX Pro).
  So depending on the speed of delivery to your distributor and then to you, SX Pro could come before SX OS stand alone. It probably will be very close.

• Q: Why is there - and + symbols engraved in the SX Pro dongle?
  Since USB-C devices can be plugged in either way, people are worried if dongle plugged in upside down, the + on left and - on right, and SX label facing down, that the Switch will blew up or get bricked, etc.
  A: They are here just for cosmetic reasons. The - symbol is also the LED window.

• Q: Yikes, those are two huge caps in render picture? Is that going to taser my Switch, damage my system, or zap me!
  A: Super Cap’s actually (super-capacitor), 0.35F 2.7V, given the transport issues with Lithium based batteries SuperCap’s are fast becoming the go to temporary power source.
  No zapping ( very low voltage ) and we limit the charge current to ~400mA peak for either USB port.

• Q: Huh, two caps, how do they get 'charged'? Do I have now and then plug my dongle into micro-USB cable to charge it, what happens when it runs out of power? -- Why not battery instead? -- Does it instead drain my Switch battery, what happens if I leave it plugged in.
  A: The SuperCap’s are charged from either usb port ( USB-C or Micro USB ). The caps offer approximately 1 week standby time with enough energy left for one boot, or at least 5 successive boots without the opportunity to auto-charge. Charge to 80% is achieved (automatically) within 1-2 seconds of entry into the Nintendo start menu. We are working reducing that considerably … (see above for why not battery). Because we are powered by s-cap’s we have a very power conscious design.
  Leaving the dongle in the console for more than a minute is pointless but will do no harm in any way to the dongle and drain very little battery ( currently we draw ~25mA but will work on reducing that considerably after ~1-2 minutes charge mode).

• Q: Can I charge my Switch via dongle?
  Using just micro-usb cable, removing the need of needing a proper usb-c cable.
  A: Sadly no, our intent for the micro USB port was for charging the dongle and firmware updates, but might be something we will consider for future hardware revisions, thanks.

• Q: There been reports of cables, and docks without that bricked the battery charging circuit, are we at risk with SX Pro solution?
  A: No, simply because we do not support charging. The dongle uses both USB ports only for receiving charge.

• Q: Is TX coming up with solution for those that leave their Switch always 'docked'?
  Its nice, that is portable, but some users never go 'portable', they are DOCK only fans, what about them?
  A: If the demand is there, it is something we can develop.

Team-Xecuter, Rocking the Switch in 2018!

So I guess I missed something, what the heck is "Free Switch Day"?

This

Don' forget 6pm Eastern 4th June

TX-OS will drop for DRM free

Max & Bowser will soon regret ripping all those people off

If anyone wants it a day earlier drop me a PM with a confirm Paypal refund claim against any reseller and you can get it 6 hours earlier

True or not I find it funny as hell . Hope it's true though.

I still stand by what i said. That Nintendo will announce some good 1st party games (Smash, Punch-Out, Star Fox probably, etc.). They will also announce shovel ware and a handful of games that have been out on other platforms for some time.

And why do all you people hate on T-X DRM'd mod chip so much? Who is forcing you to buy it? First world problems, I swear. You want to rage against stuff, try raging against the USA's illegal occupation of Syria..... rage against how israel has their hand up the USA's ass and is using us to lay waste to nation after nation in the middle east, leaving death and destruction everywhere we go...... rage against how israel is killing Palestinians that are protesting against ILLEGAL land grabs...... rage against Monsanto poisoning our food supply...... rage against high unemployment...........rage against the police state...........rage against people in the UK getting thrown in prison for filming child molesters getting hauled into court.

But all this crying and bitching about how "evil" T-X is for releasing a DRM mod chip is ridiculous. People, like me, that are buying this mod chip, we TOTALLY UNDERSTAND the DRM aspect of it and guess what, we don't F*CKING CARE! We want to run our pirated warez right now!

You are coming at this from an adult perspective instead of the teen angst one. These anti-TX trolls have no concerns like that, they live for virtue signalling and being first to call out GPL violations etc.

 

[longxa762]

Peoples cry about TX selling tool for piracy but where were they when R4 comes out?

Also what makes peoples think Atmosphere will have a backup loader on release when the dev obvious don't support it?

 

[DigitalJosee]

I haven't heard anything about that, but is SX OS region free (or can I run EUR/JPN games on my USA console)?

 

[DKB]

The Switch itself is region free, so yes, you may.

I didnt quite understand the difference with the dock mode using tx xecuter ,, i tought that once you ran the software you can dock the switch , and select watching the tv the photo menu , and after that select wich game you want to play , and you dont have tu run executer againg , only if you turn off your switch ,,, am i wrong ?

 

[schlummer]

I have not been able to find the right answer about the state, if the switch is on TX cfw and DOCKED, does it still will be charged even if I send it into sleep mode?

No, you're right. Once you boot you Switch using SX Dongle, you can use it on TV or in handled mode. You'll need the dongle again, only if you restart your switch (or if your battery run out).

I have not been able to find the right answer about the state, if the switch is on XT cfw and DOCKED, does it still will be charged even if I send it into sleep mode?

Yes, it'll charge normally, just like the regular FW on your console.

BiG THX for this fast response DigitalJosee. Seems like the TX solution is easy to use even if it's a paid one but who cares at least most of the buyer are just in for backup loading

People could grow potatoes for free, yet they still buy them from a supermarket.
You could wash your car yourself, but there's a reason car washes exist.

Gamers never cease to amaze me when it comes to 'muh moralz'.

It's like those nubs that were bitching and shrieking about the guy who became a legendary pirate on 'Sea of Thieves', by getting other people to make the gold for him, while completely missing the irony of the fact they do it for their employer every day in real life.

Someone mentioned Capitilism in here earlier, and they are entirely correct. People get triggered when it's diluted and relatable in the language of 'gaming', and yet spend their lives contributing to the very thing they claim is 'ethically wrong', without even realising they are doing it.

If you don't like the fact TX are exploiting something, that could be free, to line their own pockets..you may as well go become a communist, and see how well that works out for you.

Who knows, you could even get your own triumvirate and a five year plan.

 

[tomhanks69]

Pickle Riiiiiick!

 

[tinkle]

what about those who never bothered with those jaggoffs?

Then you won't be loading backups for a long long time.

 

[JoeBloggs777]

how many of you who are against TX making a profit from selling the Sx Pro bought RCM jigs off ebay ? if you did what's the difference ?

I don't have a problem with TX making money out of me

I'm getting what looks like a decent RCM jig, it looks alot better made than the one I bought off ebay, infact it looks better made than all of them on ebay as it uses spring contacts.

also I'm getting a dongle so I dont need to carry a laptop or mobile to push the payload

and finally SX OS which enables me to play games straight away from a SD card.

it's a bargain, just as the MGH was for the Snes which I bought back in the early 90s' and that was more than 5 times more expensive than the SX Pro.

 

[guitarheroknight]

He is. It only charges when you keep the dongle plugged in. This is why I said the last line of my post, I'll repeat it for you:

I mean it isn't as big a deal as you said, but you were right about it.

Actually you failed to notice that he mentioned the caps only after the TX page went up! Basically he has seen the pics of the capacitors and decided to invent another of his BS stories to scare people off of buying / cancel their pre orders. Anyone with basic electronic knowledge knows that those capacitors can be charged via the Switch. I guess that's the magic of USB C right.

I don't really care if he's gonna release the SX OS or not. What really grinds my gears is that he's clearly lying and he's trying to fuck people over the fact that TX fucked him.

 

[210modz]

Yeah I can't wait for my FREE dongle.

Fuck Team Xecuter. Anyone buying this because "muh hacks" is an idiot. They're selling you a DRM-enabled mod chip and you're just lapping it up.
Unless you're buying it to study it/reverse-engineer it/that sort of thing, just use softmods. This is like buying a Sky3DS instead of install B9S and Luma. Don't be that guy.

You DO realise that this Team Xecuter is not the old Team Xecuter, right? It's basically just them in name only now, run by some asshole who is out to make a quick buck.

Why, because you're already feeling the stupidity from buying a mod chip when you could get another solution for free which will probably have better, longer support? Yeah, okay, you keep telling yourself that your mod chip was money well-spent.

We've already got more leaks than a leaky boat. It seems the Switch will be getting quite a few new games on top of the several already announced but yet to be released. Even as someone who doesn't much care for the Switch as of right now, I find your stance baffling at best.

I believe they abandoned it. Maybe it's still coming but I doubt it.

Looks like someone is super butthurt. Dont worry I'll make sure to post all of the cool features we get with SX that you won't see in atmosphere. I mean they only have 2 decades of experience over any other team. I'm sorry that your minimum way job wouldn't allow you to join the fun. Maybe next time little buddy.

 

[Bladexdsl]

they have a damn factory?

Ok then Eistein lets see you explain how it can

I bet you don't and just post more crap as you have no clue about the specs of usb-c

As i said ask Bowser (GaryOpa) why he doesn't post a video of it doing so

Simple reason is he can't as Max and Him know they have been outed again as shill ripoff merchants

Still only 24 hours til Free Switch Day

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------



Not as much butthurt as the people hwo have been shilled into paying 40 bucks for something that will be free by tomorrow on Free Switch Day

Wait and see how nicely these Chinese sellers are when you ask for a refund after Free switch day .....

You still hyping up nothing? Because thats what's gonna come out of all this bullshit you spew. Nobody is gonna cancel their order over your dumb shit and nothing is being released for free on the 4th. Anyone that believes you is a fucking idiot.

 

[210modz]

We are waiting for you to explain how it can charge from usb-c

Come along now seems you have been called out and now been shown up best get back to your homework before your mom notices you have sneaked on the internet without her permission again

This is what we have to deal with when people that can't even wipe their ass properly yet has internet access.

It's interesting how only so few of you are spouting this, but nobody in the scene is backing you up.. Hmmmm...
