It's HERE! - TX Has Finally Done It! - Their SX OS Now Fully Supports v6.2!

Everyone been smashing their heads against the wall, and refreshing forums for over two weeks waiting, but no more do you have to wait as SX OS v2.4 is finally available for all Nintendo Switch owners to enjoy, and be able to update to v6.2 finally, its been a long wait, but as you read the change-log below you will quickly see that it was well worth the wait, and there is still more to come soon!

We are pleased to let you all know that SX OS v2.4 BETA is ready for release.​

First of all, sorry to keep you waiting longer than we initially anticipated. We have been working around the clock to bring you this new release. We want SX OS to be synonymous in your mind with constant quality. We are here to stay and we are here to keep supporting your purchase till end of life.

Now, lets have a look at what v2.4 brings to the table:

• Support for firmware 6.2.0
  Nintendo threw us a small curve-ball while we were in the middle of reworking some other parts of SX OS. That being said, SX OS is now fully compatible with the latest official firmware 6.2.0.
• EmuNAND functionality reworked
  Our initial release of EmuNAND used a storage mechanism that wasn't what a lot of people were looking for. In our last release we decided to switch to using the microSD for EmuNAND storage, which in turn made some users that *did* like the old method of storing EmuNAND on the system NAND unhappy. We have reintroduced the support for EmuNAND-on-system-NAND as well as introduced a third storage method for your EmuNAND partition. You can now also opt to use a separate partition (as opposed to files in the regular (ex)FAT filesystem) as a storage backend for your EmuNAND. With three flavors of EmuNAND storage supported now, all of you can rejoice!
  
  
  To recap, you now have three way of settings up EmuNAND now:
  

  • EmuNAND on system NAND: repurpose part of your Switch internal storage for EmuNAND
  • EmuNAND on microSD as partition: repartitions your microSD card with a separate EmuNAND partition
  • EmuNAND on microSD as files: EmuNAND is stored on microSD as files instead of repartitioning
  WARNING: Setting up your EmuNAND as partition on your microSD card will format your microSD card. After setup nothing but the boot.dat and license.dat will remain.
• Homebrew R button interfering with ingame L+R buttons fixed
  In the last release we introduced a method of invoking the homebrew launcher for any title by holding down the [R] button during application/game startup, this gives homebrew additional capabilities that it wouldn't normally have. However, this seems to have caused some interference with some games, this has been fixed.
• Embedded Homebrew Menu
  Previously, you had to copy a `hbmenu.nro` file to your microSD card in order to use the homebrew launcher. This has been fully integrated into the SX OS boot.dat file now. Effectively this means all you need for setup is to copy our boot.dat file, simple!

That's all we have for now, people. That doesn't mean we're done. Its not over until we have liberated every single console out there. A lot of our current attention is focused on bringing you a solution for these "unhackable" switches. That does not mean we're not improving SX OS as well. Keep those feature requests and bug reports coming!

Enjoy the festivities this month, and don't forget to pick up a SX Pro / SX OS for your loved ones!

I still have the original emunand type. Not banned yet, don't know should I change the emunand type?
I will also lose precious sd space if I do it.

Well, unless there's games or updates that require 6.2, it's not really worth it now.
There's no game actually requiring 6.2 - I think there's not even a game that requires 6.0 for now. Some updates up the min. requirement to 6.1 or 6.2 or something, but that can be avoided, there's patched update files that work on lower versions, or modified XCI files of games that already include updates (like for Smash, for example - the first update requires the console to be on 6.2, but it was hacked and also boots on 5.1 which is the original fw requirement of the game only).
If you want to be up to date at all the time, you can update now just fine. But you can just as well just hold off until there's an actual need to update, because a game won't boot on a lower firmware than 6.2 anymore - but until that happens, there's probably already 7.0 out

I just updated because I like to be on the latest version. But it's really not necessary. Unless you want to access online services, then you absolutely need to be on latest fw, but with me being banned that's not an option anyway

Thanks for your detailed explanation.
My only last question to you would be, if I were to update, would I need to enter in OFW, right ? I’ve noticed that whenever I turn on my switch without the SX dongle connected it boots directly into OFW.
Would I need to enter OFW through the SX Pro menu and then connect to the internet and update the firmware? Or would I need to enter into OFW without having the dongle connected, then connect to the internet and update firmware?

Please let me know.

Thanks for your help!!!

I am superban , whats the best way to update ?

 

[millencolin22]

First of, sleep mode is worthless, you will be banned sooner than late and SX already have a function called "Stealth Mode", which is a DNS server that already does what you want to do with Airplane Mode
And yes, update to 6.2.0, it has new keys that will make that new games and updates won't work on <6.2.0

Thank you!!!

for those one who got a black screen after updapte to 6.2 on emunand, you need to copy boot1 and boot 2 from the sd your sysnand on 6.2. Backup boot0.bin boot1.bin

Is anybody else having problems installing NSPs which require 6.2?
I couldn't install the Smash Bros update or the Carcassonne NSP.

That means TX is using latest dz tinfoil. I had problems installing stardew valley update with dz tinfoil so i just installed it with sxos 2.3 and it worked. will test with 2.4 now.

 

[wurstpistole]

I didn't even realize you could use ChoiDujourNX through sysnand? I assumed you could only launch homebrew on a custom firmware?

CFW boots sysnand if you don't have an Emunand. Cfw and emunand are not the same thing

If you can update on ofw then you can just do it this way. If you can't, then you have to use ChoiDujourNX

Is there a place to get a tinfoil without that issue? I'm on 6.2 with sxos so I can't use 2.3 to install 6.2 nsps.

 

[Buszu92]

is sleep mode working good in emunand?

 

[jakkal]

is sleep mode working good in emunand?

someone's idiot friend claimed it didnt

but it works fine

Eh, how does that work lol

 

[stenafo]

yes

but it works fine

Mine was not working. i had to cancel the emunand and doing it again it solved.

 

[comput3rus3r]

just saw that video linked in OP. Where's the sx installer homebrew?

 

[brollikk]

If the sx nsp installer won’t work for 6.2 patches for games which tinfoil should I be using ?

 

[blawar]

Is there a place to get a tinfoil without that issue? I'm on 6.2 with sxos so I can't use 2.3 to install 6.2 nsps.

There is no issue, he either didnt have the 6.2 master key or he tried to install a modified NSP.

 

[comput3rus3r]

don't think so. like i said i used the latest dz tinfoil and it coudln't read the update.nsp but sxos 2.3 did. Im backing up nand now so i haven't been able to test sx 2.4 with the same update.nsp
