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!

SX Installer V1.1 Released!

As it becomes a more and more powerful tool, you will find now not only lots of stability improvements, but also key new features like touch screen support and the never seen before ability for the user to be able to drag the list of games.

We will let you discover the rest, please find below the change log for v1.1:

• Fixed "delete after install"
• Fixed file browser copy progress bar.
• File browser delete now works for SD, FTP, and USB HDD.
• File browser rename now works for SD and FTP.
• File browser can now write to SD, FTP, and USB HDD, so files can be copied to FTP and USB HDD now.
• Single click back up all game saves!
• Added Touch Screen support everywhere!
• Added ability to preload meta images.
• Images are now stored in image database files, as some fat32 users ran into SD card issues with the sheer number of image files before. /switch/sx/cache/ and /switch/sx/icons/ can now be deleted.
• Added support for backing up and restoring game saves.
• There is an option to specify the game save backup directory, which supports SD, FTP, and USB HDD. So you can backup and restore your save games from across the network or from your hard drive.
• Improved stability for network installs.
• Improved translations for ZH, NL, and RU.
• Added confirmation dialog for deleting files.

More to come soon on all fronts, and as usual do not hesitate to email us for bug reports and suggestions, or to utilize our TX Community for support from fellow users like yourself. Our motivation is your satisfaction.

SX OS v2.5.1 Beta Announcement

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!

SX Dumper v1.0.3 Released!

This time it is SX Dumper which goes to v1.0.3 with a new function to dump cert only.

1.0.3 Change log:

• Add option for cert only dumping output:
  Selected folder/certificates/gamename [cert crc32].cert
• Various stability fixes and lib upgrades

SX OS v2.5 Beta Announcement

Your friends from Team Xecuter are back with a fresh release of your beloved SX OS. This new v2.5 beta release introduces two exciting new functionalities that you all have been requesting.

Let's waste no time on chit-chat, and see what's new in this release:

• Fixed sleepmode in case of fuse mismatch
  Sleep/standby mode would break when your emuNAND was on a different firmware version than your actual system NAND. This has been resolved now. So from now on you can run the latest and greatest firmware in emuNAND while at the same time keeping a lower firmware on your original system's NAND. Nifty!
• Added initial support for "Internet Local Wireless Play"
  Many of you have been requesting for us to add support for "local wireless play" tunneling over the internet. We have integrated this functionality into SX OS for you. This currently requires you to use a bit of software, LAN-Play on a computer to facilitate the tunneling. This software can be downloaded from the LAN-Play website: www.LAN-PLAY.com. Check out their project, they are are doing an amazing job. To enable "Internet Local Wireless Play" simply head into the SX Menu and head over to the "options" page. There's a toggle for enabling and disabling this functionality at will now.

That's all for today. This marks the half-way point of SX OS 2. This year has been amazing and we want to thank the loyal and ever growing TX Switch user community, you guys are the reason this is all possible!

Our resident hard- and software wizards are hard at work at bringing you even more groundbreaking functionality and products. Keep an eye on us!

SX OS Manual v1.3 *English* Released

It was time to update our manual to address all these new functions with comprehensive and simple instructions.

You can now find our SX OS V1.3 English Manual in our download section. Other languages will be added very soon.

And in fact, if you are interested in helping us translate our SX OS v1.3 Manual in your language, please contact us at wholesale AT xecuter DOT com. FREE Licenses are available for people willing to work on these translations.

SX OS v2.4.1 Beta Announcement

We are happy to bring you a small update which fixes some outstanding bugs and introduces some new functionality.

• Fixed payload menu freeze

It was reported that since v2.4 the "payload" menu used for launching external payloads was freezing up. This has been fixed, you can now enjoy your external payloads again!

• Fixed installer incompatibility with recent NSP files

Some recent NSP content (like the Super Smash Bros update) wasn't installable using our NSP installer. All your recent NSP's will work now!

• Firmware 4.1 booting again

A small regression got introduced in SX OS v2.4 leaving users with a (emunand) firmware on 4.1 unable to boot. We wasted no time to figure out the root cause, and SX OS should now be compatible with every firmware version again!

• White squares on split XCI files

Some split XCI content was not showing the icons properly, instead rendering a white rectangle. This is a thing of the past now!

• Add support for split NSP files

We've had support for splitting XCI content for a while now. This is needed for bigger games for people who enjoy SX OS from a FAT32 formatted microSD card. NSP content is now also supported in a split format. The file extensions used should be in the format of: .ns0, .ns1, .ns2, etc.

That's it for this small stopgap release. Keep an eye out for our coming updates!

SX Installer v1.0 – Now Available

With great excitement we present to you SX Installer v1.0 – Now Available for download at: –> sx.xecuter.com

This full featured app takes care of installs and so much more! In fact, an overview manual is now being prepared along with screenshots and detailed information on how you can better utilize all of the features we have packed into it.

This manual will be available on our SX Portal page when it is completed, in the meantime we have opened up a dedicated 'support forum' for the app, and have decided to release it now, to get it in the hands of our loyal SX OS users so you can right away start enjoying the many functions and features it has to offer.

Basically, at its core SX Installer is an advanced NSP Installer, that allows you to simply list, view, in one easy step, automatically install all your NSPs, along with the matching Game Updates, and DLC Packages, and these can be search and grabbed from many locations, including: FTP, HTTP, NUT Server (separate app on your PC), SD, USB HDD and NAND.

But that is not all it can do, as you can see from the quick overview below of the main functions. SX Installer has the ability to directly launch XCI games, and even launch your Classic Retro 'Game ROMs' for various different emulators installed, and of course your favorite homebrew apps. It even has a built-in file browser!

    

PLEASE NOTE: (currently .xci launching is only supported in firmware 5.x or below – 6.x support is on it's way!)

To get started, unpack the downloaded sxinstaller.zip and move all of the contents to the root of your SD card. The "sx.nro" file should be stored in /switch/sx/

Below is just a quick overview of the main functions of our SX Installer App:

• Ability to show titles in table view, or icon cover view.
• Install NSP's from FTP, HTTP, NUT, SD, USB HDD, and NAND.
• Ignores firmware requirement when installing.
• Ability to queue multiple title installs.
• Ability to search titles.
• Ability to list and delete tickets.
• Ability to export all title keys installed on the system.
• Ability to overclock to install faster in some situations.
• UI Translation into 12 languages.
• Title meta-data translation into 12 languages.
• Downloads and displays game artwork (internet connection required).
• Ability to list, view, and delete application records (lets you uncleanly forcibly uninstall a DLC or update)
• Ability to list installed titles, and launch them (launching is 5.x and below only)
• Ability to list XCI's mount them, and auto-launch (launching is 5.x and below only)
• Ability to list and install new games available, with the option to install all new games
• Ability to automatically install the latest patch and all DLC with a game.
• Ability to protect users from running malicious unsigned code accidentally by blocking all unsigned code installation unless explicitly enabled.
• Ability to list and install newer updates available for your game(s), with the option to install all updates
• Ability to list and install newer DLC available for your game(s), with the option to install all DLC
• Ability to list all incomplete installs (like when the SD gets corrupted, or you swap SD cards without copying data), with option to reinstall all of them.
• Ability to list and launch NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBA, SMS, SG, SCD, GG, and SG1000 RetroArch games.
• List and launch Homebrew apps
• File browser that lets you explore your file systems, delete files (SD only), and copy files (only SD is writable)

That's it for now! Have fun diving into all the cool features this app has to offer. Keep your eyes peeled for the full manual. It will be posted as soon as it's ready! 🙂

SX OS v2.4 Beta Announcement

First of all, sorry to keep you waiting longer than we initially anticipated. We have been working around the clock to bring you this new release. We want SX OS to be synonymous in your mind with constant quality. We are here to stay and we are here to keep supporting your purchase till end of life.

Now, lets have a look at what v2.4 brings to the table:

• Support for firmware 6.2.0
  Nintendo threw us a small curve-ball while we were in the middle of reworking some other parts of SX OS. That being said, SX OS is now fully compatible with the latest official firmware 6.2.0.
• EmuNAND functionality reworked
  Our initial release of EmuNAND used a storage mechanism that wasn't what a lot of people were looking for. In our last release we decided to switch to using the microSD for EmuNAND storage, which in turn made some users that *did* like the old method of storing EmuNAND on the system NAND unhappy. We have reintroduced the support for EmuNAND-on-system-NAND as well as introduced a third storage method for your EmuNAND partition. You can now also opt to use a separate partition (as opposed to files in the regular (ex)FAT filesystem) as a storage backend for your EmuNAND. With three flavors of EmuNAND storage supported now, all of you can rejoice!

  To recap, you now have three way of settings up EmuNAND now:

  • EmuNAND on system NAND: repurpose part of your Switch internal storage for EmuNAND
  • EmuNAND on microSD as partition: repartitions your microSD card with a separate EmuNAND partition
  • EmuNAND on microSD as files: EmuNAND is stored on microSD as files instead of repartitioning

  WARNING: Setting up your EmuNAND as partition on your microSD card will format your microSD card. After setup nothing but the boot.dat and license.dat will remain.

• Homebrew R button interfering with ingame L+R buttons fixed
  In the last release we introduced a method of invoking the homebrew launcher for any title by holding down the [R] button during application/game startup, this gives homebrew additional capabilities that it wouldn't normally have. However, this seems to have caused some interference with some games, this has been fixed.
• Embedded Homebrew Menu
  Previously, you had to copy a `hbmenu.nro` file to your microSD card in order to use the homebrew launcher. This has been fully integrated into the SX OS boot.dat file now. Effectively this means all you need for setup is to copy our boot.dat file, simple!

That's all we have for now, people. That doesn't mean we're done. Its not over until we have liberated every single console out there. A lot of our current attention is focused on bringing you a solution for these "unhackable" switches. That does not mean we're not improving SX OS as well. Keep those feature requests and bug reports coming!

SX Dumper v1.0.2 Update
