TX Releases Another Update To Their SX OS, with a big new feature: 'eShop NSP Support'

TX does not seem to want to take a break, they have now pumped out yet another major update to their SX OS, check it out below:

We are back once again with an exciting update for SX OS. Let's skip the drama for now and jump straight to the list of new goodies:

• Add LayeredFS support
  Are you excited about any upcoming Game Mods for switch games? Well, we are! To accommodate this we have added what is commonly referred to as "LayeredFS" support. In short what this allows you to do is override specific files from a game with modified copies that are loaded from your microSD's (ex)FAT partition.
  
  Place your custom game files under the following locations on the microSD root:
  - /sxos/titles/<titleid>/exefs/
  - /sxos/titles/<titleid>/romfs/​
  We can't wait to see what cool mods the community will come up with!

• Add eShop NSP support
  This adds support for installing and launching installed eShop NSP files. This is still rough around the edges and for advanced users only. To install NSP files you need a legitimate copy of the DevMenu, which can be launched currently via LayeredFS. We are still working on adding a custom and easy to use NSP installer to our own menu system. Stay tuned!
  WARNING: We do not recommend playing online with installed eShop NSP games without a valid ticket, as this WILL lead to a console ban without a doubt.

• Add low battery reconfiguration on bootup
  Some users were having battery issues after playing around with Switch Linux custom payload. This fixes the "battery desync" issue every time you boot your switch. If you weren't use Switch Linux there's nothing to worry, otherwise; enjoy your penguins AND enjoy your horizon OS!

• Hide OSX Temp files in game selection menu
  If you were pestered by bogus entries in the game selection menu chances are high this is because you are using OSX (and Finder). We simply hide those files from the menu now. All cleaned up!

• Removed eMMC password lock
  It seems a perfectly safe and easily reversible hacker challenge we put in place for aspiring hackers has been blown out of proportion. We are sad to see so many false claims on the internet and to avoid any further false accusations and 'fake news' we decided to get rid of it. Namaste.

That's it for today! We'll be back soon. Team-Xecuter doesn't take a break. While others moan on social media we work day and night to bring you the best experience on Nintendo Switch.

“I don’t care about it therefore it’s a non-issue”

Could you be any more narcassistic?

I care about it therefore it's a big issue. Right back at you. But trust me most people share my opinion.

 

[mikey420]

You misunderstood me. What I'm saying is the developers who painstakingly wrote code only to have it used for profit while being subsequently mocked and insulted by both TX and scene leechers are the ones who have every right to retire or just not release their hax anymore.

Well in that case I fully agree.

NANI??!?!? Please don't give me the hammer daddy.

 

[blahblah]

And when no hacking group steps up to the plate to hack a Switch 2 because of practices like this you can whine about your lack of free games right besides them.

I am confident that the real scene hackers will handle it, much like TX had the Switch perm own well before Reswitched found it.

Thank god they did that, still, SX OS is an atmosphere rip-off, so no thx.

And thus the roundabout debates begin anew once more.

*the doppler effect intensifies*

That said, this thread is going to hell. Leaving is probably best tbh

Don't be ridiculous. Miss the fireworks? This is good shit

 

[gamemasteru03]

Why don't you call every gaming company that you ripped off in the past years and tell them your sorry for stealing their games!!!

Sheesh. Calm down tx fanboy. Also some people actually backup their games...

 

[DayVeeBoi]

It's entirely possible that there has never been 'paid shill' in gaming communities ever. Conspiratorial nonsense from people who are, frankly, not very smart.

Again, opensource does not mean anyone can do whatever they want with your code.

https://itsfoss.com/open-source-licenses-explained/

Open source means you can get the code and make it privative closed source (apple), free software (gnu gpl license) means that you hace to revert to community and release the sources at the same time as the modified binary

Keep pushing your conspiracy theories, mister Info Wars

So...this basically adds things that we could do with Hekate but now can do with SX OS. Don't get me wrong, its nice that they're keeping their CFW as up-to-date as possible, but the only thing that makes SX OS unique so far is still the cartridge emulation. At least let us backup our NANDS since its writing to the eMMC and who knows what its writing.

EDIT: If you can launch eShop titles with this supposedly, then that's another plus for them. Drawbacks of course is using DevMenu as well as the inevitable ban.

Jokes on you, I'm already banned

They may have not removed all the brick code. As the password lock was one part. They still could of left the boot partition corruption part. As they never mentioned removing that.

 

[Deleted User]

I'll just wait for Cracked SXOS, since they've removed the brick code, OR for Atmosphere.

 

[huma_dawii]

To be fair, its been like, what, 3 weeks since SX OS came out? Also, we do technically have a free way of doing it no matter how complicated, inconsistent, or ban-worthy it is (it was promoted to front page news by one of the site owners).

"While others moan on social media we work day and night to bring you the best experience on Nintendo Switch."

They are killing me xD

 

[castdreams]

I’ll test it out for you. Just gotta get dev menu up and going again

Doing God's work, thank you. I'm curious if you're able to launch a game installed from an .nsp file via DevMenu. That's what it sounds like, but nobody has been able to confirm and there's no instructions provided.

I'm guessing SX OS is actually sigpatched for .nsp titles now? Big if true.

 

[Darth Meteos]

Yeah, ima leave before the mods/admins come. I'll be looking though.

it's a news post, my man
the mods live on these posts
they create dens out of shitposter carcasses fresh from the banhammer
david attenborough couldn't get a documentary through this dense fauna

 

[TamarindoJuice]

It's good to loudmouths who was saying "They will not update it anymore, the only two updates it got was the EOL of this thing since the atmosphere is about to being released next months blablablabla", claps, more claps.

 

[elm]

All the people talking about TX stealing codes and should apologize to Atmosphere. TX responding and said: "Why don't you pirates call every gaming company that you ripped off in the past years and tell them your sorry for stealing their games" and we'll apologize !

Sheesh. Calm down tx fanboy. Also some people actually backup their games...

What about 1%.. TRUTH hurts don't it?
so you calm down!
