As you read thru TX's announcement below, you will quickly see that is jam-packed with all the features you have been requesting recently like SD EmuNAND and USB Homebrew, so check it out below:
Your favorite superheroes from Team Xecuter are back with another SX OS update.​

In v2.3 beta of SX OS we have some exciting new functionality that you, the community, has been requesting a lot. As you know, we value your feedback and support.. so your wishes are our command!

Let's have a look at the changelog:
  • SD emuNAND support
    Since the introduction of our emuNAND feature we got a lot of comments about our initial decision to make the emuNAND data live on the actual system NAND. After lots of hard work we are happy to say we now have a workable solution for storing your emuNAND partition data on your microSD card. This has the upside of not using up any space on your Switch. In order to use the new microSD emuNAND system you will *not* have to format your microSD card. Simply enter the TX boot menu by holding Volume-+ while powering on your switch. Head into the options menu and select emuNAND on the left. Users of our existing emuNAND solution will see an option to migrate their existing emuNAND data. The migration process also cleans up the old emuNAND from the system NAND. Painless! We're interested in hearing your feedback about this exciting new functionality.
  • The 'Emutendo' folder
    In addition to the new microSD emuNAND system we also introduce the 'Emutendo' folder on your microSD card. As you've probably noticed, the Switch saves various data to a 'Nintendo' folder on your microSD card. To completely decouple this data between your Original Firmware and your EmuNAND enabled firmware we have made EmuNAND enabled systems use this differently named folder. If you want keep using your old SD card data with your emuNAND, simply copy/rename the 'Nintendo' folder to 'Emutendo'.
  • Added more directories to scan for content
    By popular demand we have added yet another list of subdirectories that will be scanned on your microSD card (or USB harddisk) for XCI/NSP/homebrew. The directories that have been added are:
    • – /sxos/updates
    • – /sxos/dlc
    • – /switch/updates
    • – /switch/dlc
  • Homebrew menu takeover of any title by holding R
    Homebrew is usually launched from either the TX menu or the Homebrew Launcher menu. Both of these applications run as an 'applet' on the Switch. Applets do not have access to all of the system's memory, and thus any homebrew apps or games launched from here are affected by this as well. The only way to allow full use of the system's memory was to build and install homebrew NSP files. But now we have added another way to give homebrew applications full memory access! You can now hold the (R) button while launching any regular title, and this will launch the Homebrew Launcher Menu. Any homebrew launched from here will run with the same capabilities as a regular Switch game/app. Enjoy!
  • Loading homebrew from USB
    More good news for homebrew lovers. You can now copy homebrew NRO files to your USB harddisk as well, and launch them directly from our SX OS menu.
  • Stability improvements
    Overall stability of many components has been improved. This includes LayeredFS and USB incompatibilities. We have also fixed a bug which would prevent people from launching more than 32 titles.
  • libusbfs update
    Last but not least a small update for developers. We've squashed a small bug in libusbfs pertaining the stat() function. If you had issues with this, grab an updated copy of libusbfs from our website!
The year 2018 is entering its final months. That does not mean we're taking a break from working on our beloved SX OS though. And yes, also those new 'unhackable' consoles are high up on the agenda. Don't worry, we will deliver.

Keep sending your feedback and ideas, they're very welcome.

See you all in the next update!

Side note to anyone here; It's no longer speculation. Hexkyz's tweets basically confirmed said suspicions making it no longer a case of me having to speak in "seems" and letting me say this with absolutes.

This is the same "emuNAND" hackjob from 2.0, just moved to the SD card. Using this will eventually corrupt your SD cards filesystem due to constant read/writes which will if interrupted (which is very easy to occur and can happen on accident) corrupt your entire SD cards filesystem, which if not fixed in time (and it's entirely possible to not notice until it's too late) will corrupt your entire SD card, which will brick your emuNAND and any titles installed on the SD from the sysNAND. A true emuNAND does not risk corrupting the entire filesystem because it exists outside of the filesystem (in free space).

w/r/t Nintendo's driver being shitty licensed from Microsoft, it's only an argument to actually not support the exFAT filesystem, but I can pretty safely say that that probably won't be done given how many users seem to think exFAT is awesome.

except your argument is "don't use x because x is shitty, instead use.....nothing. there's no alternative."

So, is it safe to use sd card emunand or not?

Sheesh, is it that hard to get my name right? I mean, I know it's not pretty but...

Anyway, fwiw, I didn't state nor think that SX's emunand will corrupt your SD card even more so than official software already can do.

I do believe there is a "better" (this is obviously subjective), but also more complex, way to achieve NAND emulation which will make it's way into Atmosphère.

Just so you hear it from an SX-OS fan..You guys deserve at least a 50 percent cut from Tx's profits. Much appreciation for you, sciresm and others. TX just makes everything noob friendly at this early stage in the scene.

You can tell your minions that you never said that Sx os emunand WILL corrupt their SD cards

They are in full npc mode. You need to reboot their systems

I was actually trying to state that from a technical standpoint there is nothing dangerous about how SX reads/writes to the SD card, but I guess it's exactly how you said it: no one cares. :)

Your constant hate for TX is obnoxious, it's like you live for it and nothing else, we're all allowed to like and dislike things, but it's like you run on this one thing endlessly, how does this not destroy your enjoyment of the scene lad?

Vaguely (but not really) familiar with the Switch's file structure.

I set up my emunand and see files boot0/1.bin and full.00/07.bin. I have renamed my Nintendo folder to Emutendo.

Are game saves in the Emutendo\save directory? Or are game saves still stored on the official nand?

What do you mean? I currently am writing and maintaining a guide for Atmosphere (plus an accompanying updater) and I'm helping out people that have issues with it. Taking a moment to show trolls for what they are is just a fun past time.

Because it's unseemly, and makes you look like a lesser person than you might actually be. If anything, it makes you look like the troll.
