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.

when reviewers will receive their units ?

 

[tinkle]

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

Ban this scammer .

I've been on the fence about updating. I don't want to hack the system immediately, but I also don't want to lock myself out of doing so. the fact that this is supposed to work on all current switches regardless of firmware version alleviates some of that apprehension. I still haven't signed in to the eshop, but I'd like to once there's confirmation from buyers.

So better Refund OS and buy the Pro, since it is shipped earlier then SX OS only.

they never said that.

Wheres the scam? At best he is trolling.

So there is no solder version from TX in work?

He's trying to coerce people to cancel their orders. That's literally scamming .

He's scaring people off by telling them made up bullshit, just look at his profile. Don't know his deal but it seems somebody fucked him over and he's acting like a salty bitch trying to get revenge by scaring people from buying TX's stuff, his latest post even prove so. He's got jack shit and he's running on fumes.

Oh, if you missed it, he claims he has a method that patches the bootrom HARDWARE exploit on the current revision. Lol.

I wonn't buy those money leechers' product design for obvious purpose... probably their OS was stollen from Atmosphere's code as well.

Guys don't support them, just be more patient and wai Scires' Atmosphere, and it's also FREE

TX has never stole anything.....they have been around longer than most "devs" on this site

Just so I'm clear on this.......... I use my Switch docked nearly all the time. Lets say my battery is at 80% when I boot into CFW with my SX Pro for the first time, and put it back in the dock. I never power it off and just leave it in sleep mode when I'm done so I don't have to keep screwing around with the dongle. My Switch (docked and sleeping with CFW active) will not charge beyond 80%. Right?

If I -DO- want the battery to charge to 100% (because maybe I'm getting ready to do on a trip), I should boot it into normal firmware and let it sit for a little bit to fully charge. Is that statement correct also?

I'm totally fine with all that, just want to know if this is accurate info. (I'm assuming Atmosphere will have the same limitation?)

what? How could you be so wrong? Of course it charges, as long as you don't go into Linux crap.

Where did you even get this idea from? it will charge as normal, you just cant plug a micro usb cable into the dongle to charge the switch (undocked)

 

[Attainable]

Any news to whether or not SX OS is working on .NSP support as well as whether emunand is coming at release?

 

[gamesquest1]

think I might just buy one for the sake of it, the dongle sounds pretty handy and it seems people buying stuff makes people sad lol

 

[DiJornios]

This gets you banned online though right?

Just assume any modifications can flag you for a ban.

 

[gene0915]

I could have SWORN I read somewhere that while the Switch is in SX Pro CFW mode, the Switch's battery would not charge. MAYBE I'm confusing this with AutoRCM?!

 

[DiJornios]

uhhhhhhhhhhh joycon menu color change is ilegal?!11!?

 

[gamesquest1]

probably, I'm guessing using public rom dumps will be more likely to cause bans, but I guess it depends on how rigorous the security checks and reporting to Nintendo are, hopefully TX try their best to cripple any error reporting and stuff, but yeah as always just assume you will be banned, and if you want to try avoid it (if that's possible) only use backups offline and buy legit carts for games you want to play online

I could have SWORN I read somewhere that while the Switch is in SX Pro CFW mode, the Switch's battery would not charge. MAYBE I'm confusing this with AutoRCM?!

nope that's more of a flaw of RCM mode allowing the switch to drain the battery too much which can cause issues when trying to charge once its totally drained but I had it happen to me once and a few hours of charging and it revived ​

 

[Kioku]

uhhhhhhhhhhh joycon menu color change is ilegal?!11!?

No, lmfao. I meant modifying internal system software. The color of your joycons won't send any red flags.

Both of which are wrong.

So $60 for Mash Bros and airplane mode for everything else?
