Xecuter delivered. Xecuter allows backups and homebrew. Xecuter allows this with no need for a second tethered device. Other then this costing money I don't see any reasons why people should not like it.
Agreed, this is everything I expected of them and more. Hopefully we get some emulators and streaming apps running on CFW fairly quickly, that's all I really want added to my Switch.

Now that im thinking about it 10 bucks says some salty switch dev releases a free alternative out of spite in the coming days.
A free alternative exploit already exists, and free cfw is pretty much guaranteed, but you're not going to get a free dongle to launch the payloads in RCM.

I'm afraid this will just kill the spirit of the homebrew. Just YouTube be /Z8TSo3lIK00

All the fun, all the things being made for the scene, will die just because some people just want to make profit from piracy. A real shame.
Aren't they just trying to make CFW simpler to xecute, just like how jigs off of Ebay do the same, just for way cheaper.

Meh from what I see the payload only needs to be launched once and even then its probably doable over wireless using an Android phone.

Here are a few notes:
  • In the video you can clearly see the airplane mode is activated in the custom cfw this might lead to no online functionality (thus no eShop exclusives).
  • In the video a game needs an update which might mean updating games also is not possible (and no eShop access aswell).
  • TX means with their SX line they'll also bring more products. Those new products are not Switch products but a modchip for XB1 and PS4 (thus also their new forum).
  • It seems their dongle is upgradeable via the Option menu and using an usb-c cable with the dongle connected to your computer.
  • The CFW itself will be installed on your SD card, the dongle is only used for the menu loading on RCM and executing the CFW.
  • Games will run from your SD card aswell.
Those were a few things to note.

How are you going to send a payload without a USB cable?

Android works, but not without a cable.

Wouldn't this be just for people over 4.1.0? As they might always need the jig. I'm sure at some point we will have A software "RCM jig" but will we always need to be tethered? What's the point of this for 4.1.0 & below?

I think they demonstrate it with the latest firmware.... and they are a profit group so thats why you need their tools

honestly with their resources I would have expected a super slim ribbon cable shim that sits in the rail permanentlyinstead of a jig

or maybe they could integrate the JIG into the side of the case for the dongle so its all self contained

idk, I guess the case did seem a little bit home made, so probably not the final design (if team xecuter steal this idea give me some moolah dudes....or a free dongle XD)...I could probably design a sexier shell myself with the jig built in B-)

the menu says boot cfw and boot stock fw.
im hoping this is a dual nand setup like x360.
would prefer that with a physical switch rather than emunand

Do you have a source for this stuff or is it just conjecture based on the video? It just seems dangerous to denote these guesses as "notes" or facts.
