We are please to announce the launch of the Genuine Xecuter Product Serial Checker.
Now you will always know for sure if your TX products are the real thing and not some dodgy clones that are crap quality and will get absolutely no support and no warranty.
We will be adding a unique code to all TX products over the next few weeks, however the first product to have a code already printed was the CR3 Lite.
As suspected there were many CR3 Lite clones on the market and the quality was pathetic. Cheap quality crystal oscillators, incorrect circuit layout, poor quality build, really shitty glitch times etc. They even tried to clone the serial numbers but must have gotten bored and just duped the codes 
Fakes / Clones:

The problem is (or was) that users will come here reporting that their CR3 Lite is bad and demand support / warranty and the reputation of the product is turned to mud – when in fact it's a perfectly great product that out performs every RGH device on the market (except the CR3 Pro of course).
We would understand it if we charged so much more money for the originals – but these clones are being sold wholesale for only $1.80 cheaper than buying the originals direct! Cheap f***ers indeed.
Well now you can see if your code is valid and that your product is real. Once you enter your code you will be given the option to claim it and leave a message that is to be displayed (we recommend you put your forum nick in there somewhere in case you require support in future so you can prove that you own the real product).
We have also implemented a check limit on each valid code. It is presumed that a retailer may check the code to see if it's genuine, and the end user may check the code – so that's 2 allowed. A further 2 are allowed in case it ever gets sold but then that code will be blacklisted if its checked more than 4 times. So make sure you PROTECT YOUR CODE!
The system also protects you from making duplicate checks so you don't have to worry about hitting refresh a dozen times and your code count sky rockets 
We are also currently working on a reporting system where if you have a clone you can report the retailers information so they can be blacklisted too.
If guys want to copy our stuff – fine – just add your own dumb name to the product and dont try to hype off the back of ours. We have to protect our brand quality and integrity to enable us to offer the best possible support for our customers.
If you can let me know about any bugs I'd appreciate it it – also let me know if you were able to claim your code successfully or if your code was invalid.
Remember this is for CR3 Lites only at the moment – other products will be added once we are confident that everything is running smoothly.
Feedback is welcome 
Here is a monster update to compliment yesterday's LT Ultimate fw news.
Going out with a bang for sure 
NEWS #1: CR3 PRO
It's been 6 months in the making (no thanks to several motherboard/dashboard revisions during our development time), and now after an exhaustive test run, the CR3 Pro is ready for public consumption.
This is aimed at users who demand the highest RGH performance possible and the ability to tune their settings to an extreme level.
The first release of CR3 Pro is designed for slims only. The full kit includes new V3 QSB's for Trinity, Corona v1 (16MB Hynix TSOP) and v2 (4GB Phison BGA) (These are also available to buy separately for use with legacy CoolRunners Rev A, B & C and also the CR3 Lite and a Phat version V3 QSB kit is also available – See News #5). A Brand new POST V2 for complete monitoring and tuning using the new CR3 Pro Rater software is also included (J-R Programmer v2 required – See News #6)
Note: For Corona v2 (4GB) Nand Read/Write you will need the 4GB RW Kit.
CR3 Pro Installed to a Corona v1:

A dedicated CR3 Pro Phat version is in progress – currently having fun with "un-glitchable" zephyrs and falcons 
Full details / specs / install pics / prices / release date etc will be available shortly.
NEWS #2: CR3-DGX
The CR3-DGX is an add-on that connects to the CR3 Pro. We have been working on this bad boy for some time – it's really kick-ass and only made possible by the high level of accuracy and timing of the CR3 Pro.
Features:
Full details / specs / install pics / prices / release date etc will be available shortly
Here is a shot of the CR3-DGX prototype. It's disguised for obvious reasons:

NEWS #3: CORONA V3 (Samsung 64MB BGA)
The new Corona v3 with Samsung 64MB BGA hit the market last month in small quantities
Several changes however with a couple of tweaks and a new Corona v3 QSB kit we were able to glitch – so don't panic – this one is easily done 

NEWS #4: DEMON PHAT SB to BB CONVERSION
We have completed a simple conversion kit for all DemoN Phat so you can install to any BB 256MB or 512MB without having to buy a new version DemoN.
There is also a new firmware which is being tested right now and we hope to have it all released in the next couple of weeks.
NEWS #5: J-R Programmer / NAND-X / CoolRunner QSB V3 Kits Now On Sale
The new V3 QSB kits are now available which also allow Xell monitoring over SERIAL/UART using the latest version J-Runner software (NAND-X USB Update Cable Required – we designed the software so it could also use this cable without having to design a new one). The new V3 QSB's are also designed to be Plug n Play compatible with both J-R Programmer & NAND-X and offer the cleanest and most optimum RGH install possible.
Now on sale with all official resellers:

Corona QSB V3 Kit + SERIAL/UART Monitoring using NAND-X USB Update Cable:

J-Runner Monitor COM Screen animation – Awesome tool for debugging libxenon apps. Very geeky and also awesome when you can't get a video signal from Xell 

NEWS #6: J-R Programmer v2
The new J-R Programmer v2 now includes full POST monitoring for the CR3 Pro rater feature. Speed enhancements are also included that puts it within 30 seconds of the high speed NAND-X 

NEW 2 Version with Full POSt Monitoring and CR3 Pro Rater Support. Also includes speed enhancements (2-3 minutes faster than JRP v1 !)
The new TX J-R Programmer V2 has been created to cater to the budget conscious and coded to work hand in hand with the latest version of the J-Runner app.
A third of the size of the TX NAND-X and optimized to run faster than any other USB-SPI based tool (Example Speeds: Others average 16M read 7m 20s, JRP v2 average 16M read 3mins), this nifty tool can fully read/write NAND over SPI, program CoolRunners or any Xilinx based RGH device over USB and also able to program onboard sounds using the TX SONUS 360 !
Complete with a CR JTAG cable so you simply plug 'n program without any soldering using the latest J-Runner App (needs to be at least Build 283). Also comes with NAND installation wires that have the connectors that are compatible with the NAND-X QSB boards. If you don't use the QSB's you can simply cut off the connectors and do a normal wires only install.
The J-R Programmer V2 is also fully upgradeable and can be programmed using the Xecuter X360USB PRO Update app. Onboard LED's indicate Power and BootLoader mode.

As suspected the China knock off sweat shops have started to sell their CR3 Lite copies.
Imitation is flattering except we were prepared for these assholes this time.
First of all we used very very specific parts that made it work as good as it does, we changed the branding on some of these parts to make sure that the cloners would get it wrong. Naturally the knocks offs don't use these parts and the performance is either weak or none at all.
Added to that is the fact that there are a couple of major design faults that we won't go into – needless to say they make the copies total junk.
Because they are so bad I wouldn't normally care, however they try to copy everything right down to the hologram security sticker, and this includes our name and warranty which is not cool. If you want to copy our gear, go for it but use your own f***ing brand name.
So this time we have included a security sticker which gives you 2 codes. These codes are unique to every CR3 Lite (and will be included with every major TX product in future).
You will be able to check these codes on an online database and you will be told if your product is genuine or fake (details will be shown shortly – we wanted to make sure the cloners wasted as many funds as possible before we launched this)
If its fake you will receive no warranty and no support. We will also be showing the sellers of fake TX products and they will be blacklisted.
For the record, this is a hacking and modding scene – we get it. Using ideas and improving upon them is par for the course – but to outright blatantly copy a product is just bullshit and the only person that suffers in the end is the customer as they are duped into buying the real deal when all they are getting is crap.
The JR-Programmer is shown with the speed upgrade PCB and the speaker is an optional extra for those who don't have LE (Limited Edition) consoles with just the crappy buzzer.
More info regarding price, install, use, shipping dates very soon.
Here is a glimpse of the new Sonus 360 Editor tool that is built into the upcoming new version of the J-Runner App.
No JTAG Hack or RGH Hack is required to use this tool – Custom Startup sounds on stock machines 

We have designed a very simple QSB addon for the Corona 4GB which allows you to directly connect to USB for fast dumping of the Corona v2 4GB NAND.
J-Runner is also being updated to be fully compatible so tools such as win hex will not be required.
Production is moving fast – more details and pictures will be announced shortly along with the price which we will make sure is very cheap.
Easy to install. Very fast read/write of the Corona 4GB NAND.
In production now
