Team-Xecuter has announced that pre-orders are starting TODAY for their new Switch mod-chips.

We even get a extra treat, finally a clear picture of their SX LITE installed in a Switch Lite motherboard, as you can see in the photo above, and also the pricing is only $45.95 and includes their SX OS license, but you can use other CFW as well, and looks like the selected testers will finally be getting their units by end of next week, so lots of good news all around!

First of all, we hope you and your families are safe and healthy during this global pandemic that has hit our civilization hard.

We got many questions about the current status of our new products, and after many hurdles we are excited to announce we will be opening up preorders for our SX Core and SX Lite products starting today.

Just like the SX Pro, the retail price for the SX Core and SX Lite is currently fixed at $45.95 and comes with a free SX OS License (although you are free to not use SX OS, of course).

All distributors and vendors will start taking preorders in the next hours/days. We want to give you this heads up to give everyone an equal opportunity to be among the first to receive their retail copy of the next generation of Team Xecuter's finest products for your beloved Switch consoles!

Those of you who were selected for the private beta (you know who you are!) should get their review units shipped towards the end of next week. After their sanity check and feedback are in we will ramp up production and strive to deliver the retail preorders around the end of April.

So for now, the wait is finally almost over, we can now starting ordering our modchips, and soon we will see first-hand feedback from selected testers that will be getting their units soon, so stay tuned for more news soon!

Nice, hopefully Nintendo doesn't brick the consoles via surprise firmware update like MS did with Xbox 360 in 2006.

Is that ribbon cable labelled 'UP' where the modchip is hooked up?

the black thing is the modchip

 

[Valery0p]

but you can use other CFW as well,

Yeah, but only by using their bootloader, that chip is definitely not rewritable with a new payload...
The clone wars (and the races to open hardware reimplementations hopefully ) are going to start soon

 

[PhyChris]

Any news on how this works or features? straight CFW boot, ext.

 

[micp]

Looking forward to this. The UK reseller hasn't updated their site yet so its just now a waiting game.

microcontrollers these days have Megs of on die storage.

And? It's still going to be write protected.

 

[PhyChris]

haha, yeah thats a different story

 

[wiewiec]

Nice to hear, but probably this thread becomes bitching fest, but nice that TX allows use of other CFW's so there is no point to criticize them.

 

[Maq47]

the black thing is the modchip

I see it now. There is an extra black motherboard placed to the left of the mSD slot.

 

[abilaunken]

Its hard to see by this photo if this need some solder or not, if its just plug n play will be awesome!!!
Like on chess, nintendo your move now...

 

[mathew77]

Where is the modchip located? On teh EMMC-memory? Can't see details on a photo..

 

[garyopa]

Corrected the first post, its showing the SX LITE on Switch Lite, see here the different between the two photos.

 

[Bladexdsl]

tiny soldering NOT required

 

[Pipistrele]

Modchip is arguably the last thing I would want to preorder. I'll wait for reviews, or maybe some cheaper clones :v
