TX Releases Another Update To Their SX OS, with lots of nice improvements in v1.4

We have not heard from TX for a while, but don't worry, they back with nice new update to their SX OS, check out v1.4 below:

SX OS v1.4 Announcement​

Good day, loyal users!

While we chip away at many different features for SX OS and additions to our SX hardware family we took a break to prepare an update for SX OS with some exciting new functionality and outstanding bug fixes.

Let's have a look at what's new and fixed in this release:

• Integrated NSP installer
  With our last update we introduced the possibility of installing eShop NSP titles. However, this relied on using external tools and wasn't very user friendly. In this release we bring our own integrated NSP installer as part of our menu system. This is the neatest and easiest way of installing NSP titles, enjoy!
• Integrated homebrew launcher
  Launching homebrew used to be done by launching NX HBMenu by holding R when entering the album. While we kept this possibility (mostly for developers), you can now also launch your favorite homebrew directly from our own menu!
• IR / motion plus issue fixed
  A few games (like 1-2-Switch and Resident Evil) were suffering from freezes when enabling the joycon IR camera or motion controls.
• Allow unsigned NCA
  People asked us if we could get rid of the NCA integrity checks, so we did! Custom NCA files, modified NCA files and repackaged NCA files should all work fine now.
• Display SX OS version in menu
  To better distinguish the different versions of SX OS we introduced a small version number display in our menu.
• LayeredFS fixes for 4.1.0
  There were certain issues with 'LayeredFS' for people on firmware 4.1.0. If you use 'LayeredFS' on that specific firmware there's good news for you: these issues have been identified and fixed!

And that's that for this release. We have quite the backlog of feature requests and todo's on our plate, but trust we'll get there!

Not happening if you couldn't live without the online then you shouldn't be greedy downloading games for free

Yeah I knew the consequences and I can live without going online. I was just saying what I would do if there was ever a way to get unbanned.

 

[Batpeter]

I dont agree on nsp delete just incase you want to keep file for later incase you need space if you delete the content from switch

Yeah sure, but its still a good feature to have for most users, just make sure you can turn it off or get a confirmation button

 

[beardchub]

Anyone get banned after you try to install a NSP game? thanks

I think I got banned for installing DLC/games through devmenu. Oh and if you are planning to use FreeShopNX you will get banned.

 

[thealgorithm]

Nice update! As far as the nsp installer, does it do batch installs like devmenu? I didn't see an option for this.

No batch installs yet. (Would be good for them to add this - together with a delete nsp after install option in next update)

 

[Batpeter]

Anyone get banned after you try to install a NSP game? thanks

So far i've only installed updates through NSP's with SX OS. I hope that doesn't get me banned but seeing how the update process for cartridges is completely different from the eshop game download process i have some hopes, but we'll see. I'm still not installing NSP games and will not be going online with the Switch any time soon.

I'm having an issue on sx os 1.4, while I'm playing an installed nsp game, I try to go into sx menu (without closing the game), the switch freezes on a black screen, have to turn it off, any body experiencing this issue? If I close the game, I can go into the menu without a problem.

Thanks, but ... how about install NSP via TX's OS 1.4?

 

[Indominusda1e]

Perfect! I assume the Zelda DLC was installed in NSP format. Thank you for letting me know!

Can you give a clue to where you got the DLC the dark place is a minefield

 

[FierceDeityLinkMask]

BRB Guys, gotta install that botw dlc.

 

[Essasetic]

Thanks, but ... how about install NSP via TX's OS 1.4?

I doubt it'll be any different. Except for the fact its ran off tinfoil. I think I got banned because I accidentally went online in the hub world whilst I had the DLC installed (with a legit cart). And yes I'm talking about Octo Expansion. So yeah no difference in that regard. Just disable error reporting and stay offline and you should hopefully be ok.

 

[josephdin]

but you can still use nxfreeshop while being banned correct?

 

[morrison22]

but you can still use nxfreeshop while being banned correct?

No. If you are banned, you cannot use FreeShopNX. And since your system certificate is banned, it renders FreeShop NX useless as you cannot specify it to use an unbanned certificate. You can however, use CDNSP and specify an unbanned certificate. Then install the nsp.

 

[Reecey]

Has anybody tried installing a homebrew app from TX's homebrew menu yet? I see you can press "L" to install the homebrew to your main menu as an icon but I'm not sure it's a good idea with Ninti's banning wave I think this may flag a ban and I'm not 100% sure.

 

[Essasetic]

No. If you are banned, you cannot use FreeShopNX. And since your system cert is banned, it renders FreeShop NX useless as you cannot specify it to use an unbanned certificate. You can however, use CDNSP and specify an unbanned certificate. Then install the nsp.

You can specify a certificate for FreeShopNX so your cert won't get banned.

"L" and "R" are to navigate between screens. "A" launches the NRO that is on your sd card.

 

[FierceDeityLinkMask]

We need custom themes, and emunand.

 

[josephdin]

No. If you are banned, you cannot use FreeShopNX as you cannot speficy which certificate to use. And since your system cert is banned, it renders FreeShop NX useless, until further notice. You can however, use CDNSP and specify an unbanned certificate. Then install the nsp.

ohhhhh, and also i have way too many split xci's on fat 32 so i can't really switch to nsp but according to this thread i can have xci's installed and also install the .nsp updates? Nice correct me if im wrong

 

[Reecey]

"L" and "R" are to navigate between screens. "A" launches the NRO that is on your sd card.

If you look on the homebrew menu it says L to install have a look.

Correct. You can use nsp updates and dlc with XCI files.

It says "L" to navigate to the Install Page to Install NSP Files.
