TX have today announced they have shipped out samples of both their SX Core and SX Lite modchips to the previously selected reviewers and testers.[prebreak][/prebreak]

• SX Core is compatible with all Switch regular models, whether they are Mariko, patched or unpatched.
• SX Lite is for all Switch Lite.
• All firmwares are supported for both regular and lite versions.
• SX OS license is included with both models.

As we indicated before, both products require soldering. With the help of that large panel of reviewers, we will finetune installation diagrams, correct any bug they might encounter so you have a great experience with our product from day 1.

We are proud of the hard work behind these products and we also can't wait to ship to retailers so all Team Xecuter supporters can enjoy a fully unlocked Switch regardless of the model they have.

If you can solder, we recommend placing your preorder now as demand will be massive (but don't worry, just for May we have already large stocks ready to ship).

If you are not comfortable with soldering, please wait for a installer near you to receive stocks so he can install it for you. Installers will also offer pre-installed consoles so you have all ready at once if you do not own a Switch yet.

Unfortunately for the less experienced modders, some soldering will be required, but we should hopefully have more information as reviewers and testers receive their samples. Until then, TX reminds you to stay safe and get ready to enjoy, releasing some exciting pictures of the retail packaging!

Bad boys, bad boys

Finaly .

Spoiler: This song is kinda stuck in my head now

What a thrill
With darkness and silence through the night
What a thrill
I'm searching and I'll melt into you
What a fear in my heart
But you're so supreme!

[Chorus]
I give my life, not for honor, but for you
In my time, there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you
I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater

[Bridge]
Someday you go through the rain
And someday you feed on a tree frog
It's ordeal, the trial to survive
For the day we see new light

[Chorus]
I give my life, not for honor, but for you
In my time, there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you
I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater
I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater
(Snake Eater...)

mine was 53 dollars

I love that song but I'm more like:
What a thrill ... micro soldering through the night...

As for the price not bad, some retailers are actually going for 65 dollars + shipping

 

[weatMod]

i already pre ordered but not sure i will be able to solder it
the post mentions if you can't solder it not to pre porder and to use an installer
so are they going to have some official list of installers and will these official installers install it if i already have the chip in hand
i hope it's easy to install but if not i hope there is a local installer i can go to and not have to pay to ship it out on top of paying for an install

 

[SecureBoot]

Where do I preorder reliably?

 

[mathew77]

Does Atmosphere supported?

 

[matias3ds]

So happy , I can't wait

 

[Quarions]

Does Atmosphere supported?

Yes

 

[pyrotechnicmonkey]

I don't understand why people keep saying things like this. I have a patched Switch. I soft modded it a while ago. It wasn't hard.

The idea is that it relies on the patched unit being on lower firmware. So not as many patched units can be modded. This opens the door for any unit to be patched as well as the switch lite. Thats why its a big deal.

 

[huma_dawii]

I thought they said this was a SOLDER LESS for the regular Switch...

 

[SecureBoot]

I thought they said this was a SOLDER LESS for the regular Switch...

No, they said there will be a solderless version. It's still in development though

 

[nero99]

@garyopa huh, seems like that info I linked to a few weeks ago was correct about requiring soldering

 

[JonJaded]

finally some info. hope to see som more in 1-2 weeks!

 

[Victorzer]

SX Gods did it again

 

[matias3ds]

the packaging looks cool

 

[Armadillo]

Nice, soldering. Fully expect a flood of posts of destroyed switches once this releases, as people decide the best place to learn to solder is apparently on a console.

 

[Pokemon_Tea_Sea_Jee]

1. With this installed, can I run OFW and play backups and still be able to play online?
2. Is it possible for Nintendo to make this modchip stop working via a software patch?

I agree, it drew me in to this thread.

 

[Jayro]

So what's the solder points we need to solder to?

 

[Legend Of Kay]

Hope some reviewers get these out to clone manufacturers.

Can’t wait to steal all of TX hard work for cheaper yeah!!

 

[Pokemon_Tea_Sea_Jee]

Can’t wait to steal all of TX hard work for cheaper yeah!!

First I was going to respond "Boo".

But, I am basically happy. If the clones work perfectly, they work for me!

Most people know that these chips are really made for stealing the tough hard work of game developers anyway.

I'm not too familiar with Soldering, outside the couple times it was done in Highschool for a Robotics fair. Anyone here got a toolkit recommendation so I can order it now and get the basics down before the pre-orders are shipped? Thanks a ton.
