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 followed the instructions and it still doesn't work

Sorry, I don't use LFS. I just know you don't need to *buy* it and there are how to's out there.

Which how to are you following?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

sorry but what is it for?

What is the verification for or brick code?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

i do like cheats in single player game, because i hate grinding, for example i hate grinding 9999 coins in Mario odyssey in bowser level.

OMG yes, on grindy games I'm all in on cheating. Don't have time for that, I got stuff to do and other games to play. Love a good story just don't want to kill my 429th goblin to hit the lvl needed for the next boss. That doesn't add anything to the experience besides padding the total game time. So yeah that or when I'm done with a game I'll mess with the save, max explosives? Yes please .

I hope in the next update they are able to redirect the .xci’s to a different folder rather than root. Not a huge issue but I cringe currently when I view my sd card and see the mess of all the files together lol.

I don't care much for SX OS having code from Atmosphère but can anyone actually confirm the brick code is gone?
If there's absolutely no brick code that gives me more incentive to purchase their software later this year if Atmosphere doesn't offer the same features (the one we all really want )
Can't say I'm fond of discovering the resellers double the price for SX OS for a hefty profit when the things worth about $16 per in bulk, but eh I'll just wait for a good deal.
Would definitely love a confirmation that there is nothing malicious in SX OS though.

Nope. Literally all we have is their word that it's gone.

 

[Chumlee1900]

Not sure why they included insta-ban LFS in there. Still a bunch of devs crying on twitter. Not even remotely funny anymore smh

 

[Ian095]

Hopefully get a confirmation from someone attempting to crack it then. Who knows it might be gone but replaced with something else...

with 1.2 and now 1.3 homebrew launcher freezes and crashes my switch when launched in dock mode only.

While I don't have that problem the Switch crashes in SX OS when I launch a ROM in psnes, but only in docked mode.

the layeredfs by itself shouldnt deliver bans, the foreign use of the layered fs as a backup loader replacing the files completely is the culprit, but modifying a game for example to translate it shouldnt give you a ban because its hte same game

We now have confirmation from hexkyz about the brick code.

On a more serious note, AFAICT the SX OS brick code has indeed been stubbed. The "WANNA PLAY :)" password is still generated and the code is still there, but now instead of trying to lock the eMMC it will just get stuck on a loop.

Dear Xecuter



I got this error today in docked mode, I was changing/switching backup games
quickly and I got error 2144-0001, what does it mean?



Could you please make SX OS more stable before adding new features.



Thanks.

So to try to clarify what's being said is it that the trigger is still there but the code that locked the eMMC is completely gone? So just looping as in the OS would just crash or is it just eternally generating a password? I don't understand why the full thing wouldn't have just been removed...

The code is there, it's just that it never gets triggered--it loops infinitely instead. No clue if this has any consequence on the user, I'd personally doubt it.

Why they wouldn't get rid of it, I wouldn't know.

Better than nothing I suppose, thanks! My best guess would be it somehow makes SX OS not work properly. Either that or they plan to use it again once hexkyz is off of their back.

Another Question for the nsp support : any possibility to split nsp files yet (for the lame fat32 users out there?).

Not yet. But this nsp method works very well (so far everything I have tried works) - but there is a high ban risk when using devmenu as well...

Wouldn't that be a moot point? Unless I missed something, LayeredFS only works on 5.1.0 and that's needed for dev menu to install them. Why not install the SD card update? Unless you're completely disconnected from wifi to *Hopefully* prevent a ban?
