Feedback on txswitch

But they claim I can just use an external hdd, I have a usb c to female usb a adapter, hoping that it all falls into place. Wouldn't that just bypass the issue (for home use anyway)?

Ignoring an issue doesn't solve an issue.

Nsp splitter works fine, I never went back to exfat after that

I can't even get my XCI to NSP, so I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm just exhausted from all the different try this and fail and try that and fail. Frustration for days lol

True, but I never take it out of the house and don't really have a need for it if I can just use an external hdd. But then does the External HDD have to be exFAT? LMAO I'm so conflicted!

You can use Goldleaf or Tinfoil (normal or DZ) to install over USB.
You can also just get the NSPs or use ZeroTwoXCI to install XCIs.

The only pro is the overlay.

With Atmosphère you can do much more and the N64 emulator does not work with TXs offering.

n64 does work LOL it runs perfect :/ I don't know what your talking about.

You might want to sell that license then.

I can't run ssb...Still. It shows up but tells me "game card could not be read" what in the actual frustration do I need to do? I feel like such a noob...I suppose I am to the switch. Other consoles? Easy breezy, but this has me questioning everything.

Bad xci file?

Bad xci file?

Maybe bad xci split-Stupid question: Do I have to install it somehow or can I just run it as it appears in my menu of installed games? I tried to run it and it gave me that error. Only installers I seem to have in the package are for NSP and I can't find the exact info to my situation that's relevant as I'm on 3.0.2 and just started modding on this/learning about it 3 days ago

Unrelated comment: FTP transfer is taking waaaaaaaaay too long even with fast net speeds. Install over USB with XCI to FAT32? Is this a thing?

Reasons to use TX switch are:
XCI loading from External Devices.
EmuNAND.

Reasons not to use TX switch are:
Free better CFW options out there like Kosmos.
Can rely mostly on 3rd party stuff to use with atmosphere/Kosmos rather than SX OS.
ITS FREE BECAUSE WHY THE HELL NOT.
More open source

and im an SX OS user myself and I can see the negatives as well as positives in using it.
I also use atmosphere/Kosmos CFW on SysNAND since I will backup and restore it or create clean NAND.

Okey let me break down to you.

If you got a NSP file
1) Download Fluffy
2) Run either Tinfoil or Goldleaf
3) Follow instructions how to transfer the NSP files

If you got a XCI file
1) Download nxmtp
2) Transfer it over to a folder that SXOS can read


Both these options use USB for a heck of a lot faster transfer rate.

OP's original issue was caused by FAT32 limitations, and he said he's probably going to have to move to exFAT regardless of whether or not he has SX OS. That means SX OS didn't solve his problem, and it might be worth selling the SX OS license.

Nah, I'm just going to use an external flash drive as exFAT to install over USB to the FAT32 card using the dock. If that makes sense. Trying it today. Once I find what works for my setup, then I'll be good to go. So far, I can see software, but can't run it. I get errors "game cartdridge cannot be read" or whatever. So I'm diving deeper into the rabbit hole. Split XCI files seem to be a no go. I'm going to try with a different XCI today since I'm snowed in from work.

I tried since Sunday to learn all about and try every method available to get homebrew and backup my NSPs. I finally took the dive today and bought SX OS from TX. Not directly of course, but from their trusted resellers. I went to txswitch on the web and they have online chat support, got me my license code within just a couple of minutes. I haven't tried them before today, but I'm very satisfied with how they treat their customers, the fast responses, and the fact that you can literally chat with someone through the entire process of ordering. I hope I am not going against forum rules, just thought I would share since I'm in the US and it's tough to find legit reputable sites to order things from of this nature. Check them out! Thanks! (in advance, no I don't work there, just a happy guy)

Edit: I have updated to OFW 6.2.0 with exFAT enabled using ChoiDujourNX. I have formatted my sdxc 128gb card to exFAT and am currently copying my sd backup I made prior to doing so. I am going to try to put my .xci files directly onto the root of the sd card now that it can handle more than 4gb at a time, and also the games should run since my OFW is "up to date" for them to run. I may have had more than one singular issue just trying to run those .xci files. I will update with results sometime today when I get it all figured out. Thanks for the suggestions and help. Any other words of advice, please drop them in the comments section.

UPDATE: So there was definitely more than one issue. Issue one is I was using OFW 3.0.2 and that isn't compatible with newer XCI files (AFAIK). Using ChoiDujourNX I updated to 6.2.0 and also took the opportunity to install exFAT support along with the OFW. Now I'm not limited to 4gb files, so I can cross off ever having to use split files (they never worked for me). I now can put .XCI and .NSP updates directly into the root of my sd card without limitations and they all appear in the SX OS menu. I am currently installing updates and next will be the .XCI files themselves. I have finally got control of this situation and I hope my information posted will help others that have had similar issues.
