Everyone has been wondering how things are moving along with getting the SX PRO devices into the hands of the official resellers, and today we had the pleasure to be given an exclusive tour of the inside of the Team-Xecuter factory, and we took some cool photos of the assembly line in operation, and at the same time the developers took a break out of their busy schedule to answer some more of your questions you been having recently since the last SX update a few days ago.

The clock is ticking and we are getting closer to Xecuter SX line launch date.

We wanted to share some of the pictures of the first units coming out of our assembly lines and of the packaging for SX Pro. We are very satisfied with the product quality and we are certain you will be as well. We will have some video and maybe another announcement coming and then it will be TIME!

Before we leave you, our usual Q&A to your most popular questions.

• Q: Is SX OS compatible with firmware 5.1.0
  A: Of course. And as we stated before, it will be compatible with the next updates as well. We are offering a future proof solution.

• Q: Will the SX OS for people who bought it 'stand alone' be delivered before the SX OS for people who bought SX Pro?
  A: Not necessarily. SX Pro will be shipped in the days to come to distributors. SX OS will be unlocked a bit after the reviewers get their units (all reviewers receive SX Pro).
  So depending on the speed of delivery to your distributor and then to you, SX Pro could come before SX OS stand alone. It probably will be very close.

• Q: Why is there - and + symbols engraved in the SX Pro dongle?
  Since USB-C devices can be plugged in either way, people are worried if dongle plugged in upside down, the + on left and - on right, and SX label facing down, that the Switch will blew up or get bricked, etc.
  A: They are here just for cosmetic reasons. The - symbol is also the LED window.

• Q: Yikes, those are two huge caps in render picture? Is that going to taser my Switch, damage my system, or zap me!
  A: Super Cap’s actually (super-capacitor), 0.35F 2.7V, given the transport issues with Lithium based batteries SuperCap’s are fast becoming the go to temporary power source.
  No zapping ( very low voltage ) and we limit the charge current to ~400mA peak for either USB port.

• Q: Huh, two caps, how do they get 'charged'? Do I have now and then plug my dongle into micro-USB cable to charge it, what happens when it runs out of power? -- Why not battery instead? -- Does it instead drain my Switch battery, what happens if I leave it plugged in.
  A: The SuperCap’s are charged from either usb port ( USB-C or Micro USB ). The caps offer approximately 1 week standby time with enough energy left for one boot, or at least 5 successive boots without the opportunity to auto-charge. Charge to 80% is achieved (automatically) within 1-2 seconds of entry into the Nintendo start menu. We are working reducing that considerably … (see above for why not battery). Because we are powered by s-cap’s we have a very power conscious design.
  Leaving the dongle in the console for more than a minute is pointless but will do no harm in any way to the dongle and drain very little battery ( currently we draw ~25mA but will work on reducing that considerably after ~1-2 minutes charge mode).

• Q: Can I charge my Switch via dongle?
  Using just micro-usb cable, removing the need of needing a proper usb-c cable.
  A: Sadly no, our intent for the micro USB port was for charging the dongle and firmware updates, but might be something we will consider for future hardware revisions, thanks.

• Q: There been reports of cables, and docks without that bricked the battery charging circuit, are we at risk with SX Pro solution?
  A: No, simply because we do not support charging. The dongle uses both USB ports only for receiving charge.

• Q: Is TX coming up with solution for those that leave their Switch always 'docked'?
  Its nice, that is portable, but some users never go 'portable', they are DOCK only fans, what about them?
  A: If the demand is there, it is something we can develop.

is it safe to update to 5.1.0 now since tx will be supported on that firmware? really want to try out pokemon quest

You gave your own answer....

Yes, it is. TX confirmed support for 5.1.0.

...But some homebrews might need updates...

i know im shit at math but isnt this 7:30 hours.

dont know how time goes by there, thats how we calculate time in my country

 

[Kioku]

Ah, this will be fun.. Forgot about #freeswitchday..

 

[Xandroz]

• Q: What do I need if I only buy SX OS?
  A: We strongly recommend buying SX Pro for the ease of use and safely streamlined procedure. That being said, SX OS standalone can be launched from Windows using TegraRcmGUI (TegraRcmSmash) or from NXLoader on android (with a USB-otg adapter).
  We offer support & warranty on your devices, please note any issues you face by errors/misuse of other methods will not be covered by our warranty.

 

[matias3ds]

Thats great i have windows and a old sony phone runing android and a USB-otg adapter !!

Just an idea:
How about banning SoulOfGazza from GBAtemp when his deadline
expires and he doesn't release anything.
Just to raise the tension a bit for him...

Okay, nevermind... Trolls just create new accounts...

 

[Bitchplease]

I dont get why people are loving this kinda drama, unless you're 13.

pirating is so bad lets pirate the pirates that logic is flawed.
