TX Announces SX OS v2.2 BETA with Docked USB Drive Support

It's only been a week since Team-Xecuter made the big announcement of SX OS v2.1 with their 'cheat engine'

And now they are back and on a roll with them adding 'Docked USB Drive Support' and many other nice improvements to their 'cheat engine' and a few bug fixes! :)
How do you do, dear SX OS users?

Today we are back once again with a much anticipated new feature as well as various improvements to existing functionality for SX OS. While this is still labelled as BETA we've had some good success with it internally, we're looking forward to your feedback.

Lets jump into the list of changes!
  • Docked USB drive support!
Yes. You read it right. You can now plug a USB mass storage device into your switch' dock and load XCI or install NSP content from there directly. No longer are you limited by the size of your microSD card when playing the switch from the comfort of your couch, but you can now enjoy TERABYTES of content by using external harddisks and such! The filesystem on the drive needs to be either FAT32 or exFAT, and the directories that are being scanned for content are equal to the ones you'd use on the microSD card.
  • Updates to the cheat system
    • More accurate progress indication during cheat search
      People were reporting "freezes" during cheat searches, often times these were just due to impatience and a suboptimal UI from our end. The progress bars are more honest and update more frequently now!
    • Cheat search for exact value requires no initial dump anymore
      For 'exact value' searches a big initial dump file on your microSD is not needed, and since this is often the way people start a cheat search we decided to streamline the cheat finder process a bit. You are now prompted with a question whether you want to start an exact value search or arbitrary value search, in case of the former the process will be much faster.
    • Automatically apply/disable cheats upon toggle
      The interface for "applying" the cheats was a bit counterintuitive, you now no longer have to press the plus (+) button in order to apply cheats. They are automatically applied/disabled once you toggle them. Disabling cheats now properly works as well, so there's no need for having a dummy cheat any more to work around that limitation.
    • Ability to add cheats using the UI
      Identifying memory locations for cheats using just the console is nice, but previously there was no way of adding an actual cheat-code for a location you found to the cheat code library. This has been addressed, and there is now an interface for doing this directly from our menu.
  • Show homebrew NSP icons in TX menu
    Some homebrew NSP titles were not displaying their icons properly. This has been investigated and fixed.
  • Fix error 2345-0021 when in docked mode opening TX menu
    People who play/cheat in docked mode will like this fix. The frequent crashes that happened when opening the TX menu in docked mode are now a thing of the past!
That's it folks. Enjoy this BETA and let us know what you think. We have more tricks up our sleeves, more rabbits in our tophats. And we only have one gear: FORWARD.

if we can get a 3rd part developer to make a dock that has a usb port that outputs at 5v then we wouldn't have to worry about burnt out ports or using a Y cable.

Anyone else getting this error? It now happens anytime I power on the switch with the USB drive connected? It’s formatted as exfat. Thinking about trying fat32 to see if the problem persists. It’s odd because all was working until installing a bunch of nsp files and putting switch to sleep.

Switched to a 1tb drive and everything works properly now. I wonder if my 4tb was too power hungry and the switch has built in over current protection which caused it to error and shut down. Would negate people thinking they may burn out their USB ports if that’s the case.

I'm using a 1TB drive and all seems good, games run great!

I've got a 240gb SSD in an enclosure. Should I still use a y cable with that setup? I'm at work, so haven't actually done anything yet.

Nah ssd's aren't that power hungry as regular hdd's but you could always use one tho. Better fine then sorry but normally SSD's because it being flash memory is fine

Weird. So i am using a self powered dock, ie plugged in with own supply, with a 20Gb Hdd as a test, formatted to Exfat, put an XCI on the root. Nothing?

So what happens when you load a game when in docked mode and then you undock it, will the game crash as its not on the microsd.
