All i will add to your utter tx bs hate.
You talk about sales, money, support, make an ass of yourself with other bs that in fact not an issue for me, ftp is your connection not tx, i get minimum 5mbps transfer to my switch.
Yet again i wouldnt be a retard to upload a 16gb file when its always going to be faster copying to sd or another point, i can copy to usb, install with no issue, you should look at improving your network and get better usb devices with faster read/write speeds.
And back to sales, you mention gateway.
Gateway was not solely blocked by a firmware, its actual exploit was blocked and it simply was no longer user friendly to keep trying alternative exploits to run the card.
Unlike gateway, the switch exploit can not be patched on systems compatible, its exploit had to be a hardware change to block it.
The only way cfw can be semi blocked on these models is by changing the keys, which as soon as its released, they keys are found and added.
And yes it will obviously come that time when sales stop, no interest anymore that support will eventually die off.
What fucking idiot will sit there and think otherwise, fyi, even game devs fuck you over when they kill off services, so how is it any different.
Did you seem to think tx should be the only people in the world to continue supporting a dead product years after it stops selling.
Its likely theyll keep supporting it however long theirs demand for it.
So mayne y'all should stop bitching about a product that is superior, just because you have to pay for it, some dont mind, yet others who refuse to pay for games clearly wont pay for tx when they can get cfw free.
Ohh commence the i dont pirate excuse pmsl.
I get 30MB/s when installing NSPs over USB. What was that about 5mbps?
FTP has nothing to do with my connection, it's not going over the internet. It has everything to do with the limited speed of the wifi chipset in the Switch. It's simply nowhere near as fast as a wired connection, and there's nothing anyone can do to change that.
How is copying it to USB only to copy it again to the SD any better or faster than using NSPs, which is a one step process?
Gateway updated their launcher to support A9LH ("fast boot") which was never patched, so again, you don't know what you're talking about and you'd be better not saying anything than making yourself look like an idiot by talking like you know everything when your statements aren't even true.
My point is that CFW doesn't
need to be blocked, if TX simply stops updating because people are no longer buying their stuff. It will be useless the moment they stop updating it, and people will have to rely on workarounds like frankenfirm to keep using an aging CFW for no benefit. And that is if frankenfirm is even possible on the Switch. We went through this already with the 3DS, it didn't end well, no one defends Gateway anymore and everyone has moved on. And the same thing will likely happen to TX sooner rather than later. As soon as a free alternative comes around that can do almost the same things, it doesn't matter if SX OS has one or two features that CFW doesn't, people will stop buying it. And that has been happening for a while already. Pirates are cheap, they don't want to pay for anything.
And chances are, demand is already getting low. Gateway didn't die right away once free CFW got emuNAND and support for running the latest firmware, but it never received any major updates after that, and all the things we were promised never came to fruition. Which meant that even though it kept getting updates to support new FW for a while, it was still lagging more and more behind free options, resulting in even less demand. I was a Gateway user throughout all this, I got to experience it firsthand, something I don't think you did, otherwise you would know what I'm talking about and you wouldn't be defending SX OS as if you get paid every time you mention it.
You forget that while SX OS has XCI loading, it has very little else that isn't already in free CFW and there are features in free CFW that SX OS doesn't have - like support for various sysmodules to enhance the functionality of the CFW (the basic support that is there doesn't work with most), reboot2payload, and error handling.
It also receives updates much slower than Atmosphere.
For those that need XCI support - sure, SX OS is superior. But for everyone else, Atmosphere is the clearly superior choice. Neither is objectively better than the other, it's all a matter of what's most important to people.
I had to go through the hassle of converting all my .3DS roms to CIAs, and let me tell you, it was a pain in the ass. For that reason, I don't find it worth using XCIs, knowing that sooner or later they will be useless and I would just be putting off converting them to NSPs and creating more work for myself later. That's my choice, and others might disagree with me, but at least I can explain to people the reasons for and against each and let them make the choice. The way you're shilling SX OS, you're making it sound like the only choice and that everything else is shit -- which simply isn't the case. And the way you're defending it makes you look bad. You sound like a 12yo living in his parents' basement.
