SX OS v2.6.2 BETA Announcement

Today we bring you SX OS v2.6.2 beta. This release addresses two issues we wanted to get out to all of you soon.

• Game compatibility fixed for games that require firmware 7.x
  Some recent games (like 'Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice') failed to boot with SX OS. This has been investigated and addressed in this update.
• Improvements to cheat engine
  We were made aware that the conditional codes (code type #1) were broken. This has been fixed. Some further minor stability improvements to the cheat engine have been made as well.

Last but not least, as you might have noticed our website(s) had some downtime over the past two weeks. We were quick with providing a temporary solution for everyone worried they couldn't activate their SX OS Licenses while we revamped and future proofed our production infrastructure. Everything should work again as expected!

That's all for today. More exciting stuff is coming, check back regularly!

SX Installer v1.52 Available

The other day, our users noticed we silently pushed out v1.51 without an announcement and many were asking what the changes were. At the time we didn't want to take focus off our major SX OS update news, but now that v1.52 of SX INSTALLER is now available to enjoy, here is the 'changelog' below, which is boring as this time around unlike our previous releases, no new features have been added.

Overall System Stability

Small Minor Bug Fixes

Now Compatible with v7.x Firmwares

That's all for today. Stay tuned!

SX OS v2.6.1 BETA Announcement

We have addressed two (important) regressions in this new 2.6.1 BETA release.

• SXOS Online License Activation
  People who anticipated the 2.6 release for a while but didn't have a valid license on their microSD card yet experienced an issue where they were unable to activate their copy of SX OS. This has been addressed and fixed!
• USB Harddisk support regression
  It turns out that we broke support for USB Harddisks on firmware 7.x during our final iterations of development. This has been corrected, you can all enjoy your external storage again!

That's all we have for today! Keep an eye out for what's yet to come.

SX OS v2.6 BETA Announcement

We know everyone has been eagerly anticipating support for firmware 7.x, some even said it would never come.. but the wait is now over!

This new 2.6 BETA of SX OS adds full support for Nintendo Switch firmware 7.x, including ALL functionality you expect when using our product. We've been pioneering our own unique and proprietary solution for defeating any future firmware protection and we're quite happy with the results so far.

This release is marked as BETA because we changed things drastically under the hood to streamline future firmware updates and some things may inadvertently behave differently.

That does not mean it hasn't been vetted at all, so give it a shot today!

Of course, we haven't been sitting idly behind the scenes either. A lot of our development resources and attention has been dedicated to bringing SX OS to those "unhackable" switches. We are working hard to bring the SX OS experience to all of you who are stuck with an "unhackable" switch. Stay tuned for more news!

That's it for today.

Enjoy this new BETA of SX OS. And don't forget to send us your feedback!

SX OS v2.5.3 Stable Announcement

While we are not ready yet to release this to the world we did want to put out a small bugfix release that addresses one important issue..

So here we are; SX OS v2.5.3!

What was fixed?

• EmuNAND 6.2 booting again after updating System NAND to 7.0

Some of you who updated their System NAND to version 7.0 notified us their EmuNAND on version 6.2 would no longer boot, thus they were unable to continue using SX OS! This of course is unacceptable, so we decided to investigate and fix it. You can now enjoy the latest firmware on your System NAND again while keeping a compatible firmware in your EmuNAND partition.

That's all for today. Stay tuned!

SX OS v2.5.2 'STABLE' Announcement

So today, we're back with a small bug fix release. But more importantly, many of you have asked us why we're not releasing any STABLE versions of SX OS anymore. Those people can rejoice, SX OS v2.5.2 is an officially supported stable release! This means that both the stable and beta channels are fully in sync now; feature- and functionality-wise.

This release addresses two small bugs:

• Fixed issue with installing split XCI / NSP
  Some split content file sizes were causing issues for some people, this is no longer the case!
• Fixed issue with deleting files after XCI / NSP installation
  Deleting the original XCI/NSP files after installation was introducing some crashes and side effects for certain users. We investigated this issue and are happy to let you know its now a thing of the past!

That's it for today, people. Keep an eye out for our coming updates!
