Happy New Year, everybody!

SXOS251.jpg

We hope you've all had a smooth transition into the year 2019. Your friends from Team-Xecuter would like to kick off the new year with a small update to SX OS.

Lets waste no time and see what's new in 2.5.1:
  • LayeredFS compatibility fixes
    It appears we introduced a regression in "LayeredFS" support in 2.5.0. This affected certain game mods like fan translations. This has been tracked down and fixed!
  • Improved Internet Local Wireless Play
    Numerous stability fixes and improvements have been made to the Internet Local Wireless Play functionality.
  • Fixed false positive 'corrupted' message for installer
    The Switch software management menu has an option for verifying the integrity of installed titles. When using this functionality with titles that have been installed through our NSP installer you would always get a message saying the title data is corrupt. This was mostly a false positive as the installed titles worked fine.. but we've hunted down the root cause of this and fixed this cosmetic shortcoming for all new installs!
  • Add support for installing XCI
    You read it right, as of now you can also *install* titles that come in XCI format, just as you would be able to do for any content that comes in NSP format. This is useful for people who would like to access all of their games from the home menu screen instead of going through our menu. Of course you can still play XCI titles without installing as well!
That's it for today. The year is still young. Hang in there to see what we are cooking up in our labs!

Chateado ... É uma boa atualização.
Porémquando atualizei o SXOS agora minha emunand SUMIU com meus saves. Estou triste pois não tinha feito o backup. Estava funcionando de boa na versão 2.5! Atualizei online pelo próprio Switch e minha emunand o sumiu mesmo, ela estava instalada no SD , na pasta SXOS / emunand . Quando entrei lá a pasta tinha sumido ! Chateado mesmo ! Perdi tudo!

Nice update, I like the option for XCI installing, however, can we have another tab for this or maybe a button press to trigger/show them? I don't like them to be in the "Installer" tab since it gets mixed up with the other stuffs. For example if I want to install a couple of updates or DLC's when I use the "Install all" option it would also install the xci even if I don't want to.

I found some bugs in this version, when I finished installing an XCI usually the switch hangs and goes to crash screen, asking restart, I also could not install the divided XCI files, use card in FAT32, and always gave error trying to install XCI divided,

I get this screen when deleting XCI after install. Seems to install fine though once restarted. Thoughts? 15464766034159199634351129743841.jpg
Is it possible to install any formats to external hdd?
Yeah it'd be nice to install to HDD as well, save on that micro SD space...

I have the same exact problem, the moment I delete the XCI it gives that screen, it still deletes and installs properly, it just forces a restart and its annoying.

User @inconnux made a small summary of what he tested beta 2.5.1 It's interesting if he says he confirms the Xecuter team. Find the article in the link below. Thx !

"First, thank you for the news of the SX OS 2.5.1 (I have just myself to test this version)
Then I give my opinion.
My personal opinion (after everyone is free to give his own opinion respecting all the opinions of others):
The SX version of OS 2.5.1 BETA come out, I just test my mods working properly under OS 2.4.1 BETA SX that no longer works in OS 2.5.1 Beta SX.
Let me explain, under OS 2.5.1 BETA SX, OS act like my mods does not exist. It starts the game normally out that I have put my mods on the micro SD card. So in my opinion, his was not correct ...
Then I also test SX OS 2.5 BETA with my mods but the game screen remains black its not working either, so I say too bad so stay SX OS 2.4.1 BETA.
Conclusion: He wanted to fix the bug with layeredFS for me is to fail!
So here are the improvements according to Team Xecuter for the SX version 2.5.1 OS:
Here are my answers :
Compatibility Fixes with LayeredFS " LIAR! Why not his march to my games?"
It seems that we have introduced a regression in the care of "LayeredFS" in version 2.5.0. This affected some mods of the game, such as translations of fans. This has been found and corrected! "I HAVE MY WELL PUT ON MY MICRO SD MOD AND ME GAME LAUNCHES NORMAL AS IF THE MOD DID NOT EXIST! THIS IS NOT NORMAL ..."
Internet game improved local wireless "I HAVE YET TO TEST" Many stability fixes and improvements were made to the Internet feature local wireless play.
Fixed the message "corrupt" false positive for the installer. "I HAVE NOT UNDERSTAND THIS STORY OF FALSE POSITIVE FOR THE INSTALLER" The Switch software management menu offers an option to verify the integrity of installed titles. When using this feature with titles installed via our DK installer, you still receive a message indicating that the data of the title are corrupt. It was mostly a false positive because the installed titles worked fine .. but we have investigated the cause and correct the aesthetic gap for all new installations!
Added support for the installation of XCI
You read that, from now on, you can also install * * titles to XCI format as you would for any content at NSP format. This is useful for people who want access to all their games from the screen of the home menu instead of browse our menu. Of course, you can always read the XCI titles without installing! "WOW, ITS REALLY IS SUPER. .XCI OUR CAN BE USED AS A DÉSORMAIT .NSP IF I UNDERSTAND FOR INSTALLATION"
Conclusion: .XCI is my ultimate size has meaning for backups Switch (it can be used as a .NSP so it can be installed directly in our backup switch) and .XCI can be run without install we 2 choice. Mouahahah the .XCI the triumph .NSP (after it's my own opinion)
All this was my personal opinion, I use too SX OS after you free and have the right to agree or not with me ;)
Enjoy those well under SX OS 2.5.1 on my side I stay SX OS 2.4.1. In anticipation of a future version of SX OS that will fix this bug for real."

i love you guys.. the effort you go to, to push the limits above and beyond everyone else, even the sx installer may be a modifed DZ/Tinfoil but it is a hell of a lot better has more features less bugs and i have noticed the games even install faster over FTP

Question Perhaps XCI installing via SX installer should be implemented via file browser? Would also be a good addition.
