Homebrew RELEASE SXOS ROMMENU NSP/NROS

[KardchCode]

DISCLAIMER: I am updating this no more due to sxos team not being able to provide new updates anymore. Additionally, I wouldn't personally recommend using this software at all as of today, since this nros were designed to be used in old firmware versions of horizon and could behave in abnormal ways. That said, be careful and cya!

Updated the zip to contain the 3.0.0_BETA nro and the latest version (2.9.2 Stable), if you want lower nros versions just contact me at DM or at Discord (more info below), also nsp has been rebuilt to work properly now on all fws (thx to P529 for letting me know the issue)

- 07/06/2020:

Updated the the zip with the rommenu versions 3.0.0_BETA and 2.9.2 Stable

- 22/12/2018:

Rei has just added support to load the Rommenu on reinx!! This means you can load the Rommenu on this cfw and play with cheats, installer and more
(The only versions working are the ones less than 2.3)


- INSTRUCTIONS:

Install the NSP
Pick one of the nros from the zip file attached (the one you like the most, 2.9.2, 2.6., 2.2.0...). Place it at switch/ROMMENU/ROMMENU.nro being
ROMMENU.nro the one you picked from the zip but renamed to just ROMMENU.nro, easy right?
You can ofc skip all of this and just open your rommenu.nro using the homebrew menu

- INFO:

REINX ONLY SUPPORTS VERSIONS BELOW 2.3 (so only 2.2.0, 2.1.0...)

The nsp inside the zip will auto load the ROMMENU.nro located at switch/ROMMENU/ROMMENU.nro
You can also launch it using the hbmenu or Goldleaf or whatever u want to load nros

For more help or tips or whatever shoot me a DM me at discord! --> Kardch#3725

- MORE INFO:

The ZIP file contains the ROMMENU nsp, the ROMMENU NROS and also contains the icon used for the nsp so you can
get a quick look on how it will look like

NSP ICON (nros icon is the same but with the word NRO at the upper left corner):

Nice

Rommenu is not going to do any XCI loading, you need the TX sysmodule, that handles it.

For mods: This is now legal, latest tools do not use the SDK.

I know I know, the modules need to be ported to atmos or reinx to do so

Also curious if the sxos-ftpd will work if you have the module sys-ftpd on a different cfw, I guess it will work since it's basically using it... but who knows

Except it's TX tool so it's still illegal to share?

Ehm no its distributed for free, this does not allow any of the "premium" features that come with a license.There is also no legal licensing on their website or elsewhere that prohibits distribution of the files contained within the boot.dat payload. In fact there is nothing that prevents the boot.dat from being available for download outside of the TX website, you can not pirate a free file.

This is fully legal, and GBAtemp seem to be fine with allowing links to SX OS a CFW that violates several licenses itself. Do not be hypocritical with your rules.

We have listen to devs before, so far no one (of the affected devs) have asked for SXOS links to be removed because of license violation. I very well know our rules. I haven't tried installing or look in to the file, since the last "rommenu" was a crack for SXOS, except it didn't get XCI working.

 

[Essasetic]

This definitely looks interesting.

Regardless of how you twist and turn things, even a SX OS crack is not illegal in any sense. We both know Temp avoids piracy links to prevent DMCA issues, in this case TX with a illegal product (not just due to licenses) has no way of legally requesting you take down links.

There is no TOS or license included in SX OS that states you are not allowed to RE the software, and there is nothing that prevents further distribution.

In fact, linking to SX OS itself is more likely to land temp in legal trouble via Nintendo.

If you run a emulator threw the homebrew launcher of this NSP you can suspend it with home then be at the same point when you open it?

 

[hyperxunda]

Please release rommenu.nro too

Technically yes, it should work like the Homebrew launcher because it does have nro launching support, so basically yeah

 

[KardchCode]

Please release rommenu.nro too

The rommenu nro can be extracted from the boot.dat using the hexkyz scripts, you can also extract it from this nsp like you do when extracting the romfs of a game

I extract .nca, extract app.nro but have a black screen to launch.

I have refrained from posting previous cracked builds of SX OS to xbins, but since they have blantantly violated open source licenses I do no longer feel morally complicit in hosting this. I have put this in the /SWITCH/Switch based software/Title Management/SX OS directory, and you can access our ftp with easy-xbins if you don't want to run MIRC and connect to our channel, etc. It is totally normal for a AV to give a warning for this file since it connects to common IRC ports, which will auto-trigger antivirus warnings. It is, and has been safe, for the approx 15 years we've hosted this irc/ftp all-in-one client.

Xecuter is making plenty of money (and has made many millions in the xbox scene) and should not be stealing open source code and selling it via licensing for their products. I would encourage everyone to just use tinfoil, atmosphere/reinx/etc for their needs instead of this release, but will provide regardless since it appears there is demand.

Oh, yeah I forgot to mention that the app is slightly changed to be an app nro and not an applet nro, apart from other tweaks
