Technically clones since they are reportedly working on one for the liteClones or "clones"?
i do it because it is the superior productPeople who use SXOS usually do it because there's no other choice. Until now, you could not hack a patched switch without their SX modchips. I doubt very many people actually use SX products because they like the company.
i thought only the pro version was FPGAIt's FPGA so no chance getting it cheap.
no more YouTube videos due to the COVID induced nail polish shortageis there any yuotube video of the clone working ?
Is there a nail polish shortage , im leaving i have to check the stores for nail polish , maybe i can still get someI love how everyone on atmo bashed TX and cried about paying $20 for a chip or a dongle
plus $40 for license , and now that clones are out that only run atmo I barely hear any complaining even though they like almost 4 times the price
so much complaining over TX charging money and now there are crickets when being asked to pay 4x the price for an inferior product

FGPAs are dirt cheap. The one used in the original modchip is something like 3 dollars.It's FPGA so no chance getting it cheap.
*Brings popcorn and waits for the TX trolls to pointing out that 'the TX modchip is superior because it could do XCI loading' .which only support the atmosphere,
I am going to bet these will do SX OS eventually if not right awayFGPAs are dirt cheap. The one used in the original modchip is something like 3 dollars.
So I estimate the production cost of the modchip somewhere around $15~$20.
But as a real bad Pirate, why would you sell them at $25 if everyone is willing to page +$100 for them?

The original SX Core doesn't have that FPGA chip ( it has another FPGA, but not the one in that place that makes the difference between Regular and Pro in these clones ).I am going to bet these will do SX OS eventually if not right away
the TX modchip FW was dumped a long time ago
what is there really preventing them from being flashed with the TX modchip FW instead of spacecraft NX? Especially since they have an FPGA , and what is the difference between the regular and the pro ,
my guess is that the pro will be capable of running either FW while the regular model will only be capable of running spacecraft, due to to some hardware limitation.

Ok, thanks. But the thing is, as I said, the place where the Pro version of the clone adds a new chip, that FPGA, that place is empty in the original SX Core.The bitstream (firmware) of this FPGA can be programmed in the case of the SX core / lite at the factory or even by Lattice (on request) on the NVCM (Non Volatile Configuration Memory).
Can only be programmed once by this method and is read-protected.

You will find some new photos of the chip installed with the Spacecraft-NX firmware here:

I wondered that too like 2 weeks ago when I got similar emails
A really good engineer could have just build a clone of the firmware (as there are some papers already out there about voltage glitching the PS Vita) but since they seem to be using the exact same components, I presume that the factory making the first TX boards just had the firmware stored somewhere. then it's pretty easy to make another batch.The bitstream (firmware) of this FPGA can be programmed in the case of the SX core / lite at the factory or even by Lattice (on request) on the NVCM (Non Volatile Configuration Memory).

Another possibility could have been that the bitstream was not read protected.
Making it read protected also prevents you from updating it afaik.
Files to make the chip yourself are available for sale as of today but I can't find any links to buy it:
