TX Announces SX OS v2.2 BETA with Docked USB Drive Support

It's only been a week since Team-Xecuter made the big announcement of SX OS v2.1 with their 'cheat engine'

And now they are back and on a roll with them adding 'Docked USB Drive Support' and many other nice improvements to their 'cheat engine' and a few bug fixes! :)
How do you do, dear SX OS users?

Today we are back once again with a much anticipated new feature as well as various improvements to existing functionality for SX OS. While this is still labelled as BETA we've had some good success with it internally, we're looking forward to your feedback.

Lets jump into the list of changes!
  • Docked USB drive support!
Yes. You read it right. You can now plug a USB mass storage device into your switch' dock and load XCI or install NSP content from there directly. No longer are you limited by the size of your microSD card when playing the switch from the comfort of your couch, but you can now enjoy TERABYTES of content by using external harddisks and such! The filesystem on the drive needs to be either FAT32 or exFAT, and the directories that are being scanned for content are equal to the ones you'd use on the microSD card.
  • Updates to the cheat system
    • More accurate progress indication during cheat search
      People were reporting "freezes" during cheat searches, often times these were just due to impatience and a suboptimal UI from our end. The progress bars are more honest and update more frequently now!
    • Cheat search for exact value requires no initial dump anymore
      For 'exact value' searches a big initial dump file on your microSD is not needed, and since this is often the way people start a cheat search we decided to streamline the cheat finder process a bit. You are now prompted with a question whether you want to start an exact value search or arbitrary value search, in case of the former the process will be much faster.
    • Automatically apply/disable cheats upon toggle
      The interface for "applying" the cheats was a bit counterintuitive, you now no longer have to press the plus (+) button in order to apply cheats. They are automatically applied/disabled once you toggle them. Disabling cheats now properly works as well, so there's no need for having a dummy cheat any more to work around that limitation.
    • Ability to add cheats using the UI
      Identifying memory locations for cheats using just the console is nice, but previously there was no way of adding an actual cheat-code for a location you found to the cheat code library. This has been addressed, and there is now an interface for doing this directly from our menu.
  • Show homebrew NSP icons in TX menu
    Some homebrew NSP titles were not displaying their icons properly. This has been investigated and fixed.
  • Fix error 2345-0021 when in docked mode opening TX menu
    People who play/cheat in docked mode will like this fix. The frequent crashes that happened when opening the TX menu in docked mode are now a thing of the past!
That's it folks. Enjoy this BETA and let us know what you think. We have more tricks up our sleeves, more rabbits in our tophats. And we only have one gear: FORWARD.

--< Team-Xecuter - Rocking the Switch in 2018 and beyond! >--
Enjoy! :)

Ntfs support is a microsoft thing and most consoles don't support it because they have to pay Microsoft money for that. Switch doesn't support that so i doubt that will ever happen
are you serious? you really believe homebrew apps would pay microsoft to use ntfs?

wii didn't support ntfs either, but usb loaders started to support it as homebrew scene evolved. at first, only wbfs was accepted. then fat32, ntfs, ext2/3/4.

i'm not saying that the same will certainly happen to switch too, but it's very likely.

for now, my sd card will suffice.

If anyone's curious, I tested this with my phone via USB (with games on both the internal storage and phone's micro SD card). No joy with that as expected. Was thinking with NSPs you could store some games in Google/One Drive, download them to the phone, then install them straight onto the Switch.

You do know like for the ps3 it took fucking many years before they figured out how to make it work on the system itself and it was still a bitch to set it up

Is anyone else having issues with USB non-HDD devices, such as USB Ethernet Adapters? After updating to SX OS 2.2, my Switch no longer recognizes my USB Ethernet Adapter. This is an issue for me as I use the Ethernet to transfer file via FTP. Can anyone confirm any other non-HDD USB devices working?

yes i do.

and you know that ntfs copyrights and royalties will never discourage the scene from developing a driver, right?

Don't pay royalties, don't respect copyrights, and steal code is bad... Very bad. Make me feeling sad.

Yes but the wii required a cios that enabled ntfs and ps3 required a full cfw which we may not see for the switch for a looooong time. Current file system support is written into the horizon os itself and the file system drivers would need to be rewritten to enable this support for this.

i never said it would be released tomorrow. i just said that microsoft royalties regarding ntfs would never stop the scene development of a driver for the switch.

and for now, my sd card would suffice. i have just bought a 256gb card, for now it is more than enough for me.

for archiving purposes my external hdd is serving me well.

More details or a funny joke?

This almost certainly can happen from an HDD trying to draw power from the Switch, which the latter isn't meant to provide to an HDD.

Whether or not reports of it already happening are true, I don't know.
