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.

Enjoy!

ROM menu needs new viewing options.

Maybe 5 thumbanials per row or something. Scrolling throughthrough tiles one at a time with 100+ games is tedious.

Yes, this is one of few suggestions i forwarded to the team for the next release, looking forward to seeing what they cooked up to improve everything.

2.2 was pretty fantastic. Can't wait for next update.

if I may add one, make it that it's sorted by the last selected game. just like how it does on the home menu

They also need to fix blank thumbnails on split card2 games too. If you could suggest that.

Do you email them or is there some other method of getting in contact with the team?

Quick question : If i leave the hdd connected to the switch in sleep mode ; can it damage the hdd ?
Because even in sleep mode the hdd has the power light on , and its a drag to connect and disconnect the hdd every single time i want to play .

It's possible. I don't have a HD connected to mine, so I haven't tested it, but I know my android box keeps polling the usb and thus the harddrive keeps spinning connected thru it. Granted that is android OS, but both devices were not made to have a usb harddrive connected, so they generally don't send spin down/sleep commands to the HD.

But once again, I haven't tested this myself. But if your HD keeps spinning after you put your Switch in sleep mode after 20 mins, then for sure the Switch isn't telling it to sleep/spin down.

No, when being in sleep mode, the HDD will be completely turned itself off due to the Switch cut all the power. The common issue is when you press on the power button to put the switch into sleep mode the HDD will turn itself off twice, then you're free to unplug it.

Another issue is when putting the Switch in sleep mode for a period of time then wake it up SX OS will be cashed when accessing to SX Menu. To avoid that, just unplug the HDD before waking the Switch up then just plug the HDD back in as usual.

Great thanks for the advice

Both HDD that I tried would continuously power on and off while in sleep until I disconnected them. One was self powered the other was powered. No y cable for either. It was especially noticable with the powered drive because it beeps everytime it would spin up (every 10min or so?). So what I've been doing is closing the software before putting into sleep mode and disconnecting the HDD after it powers down in sleep.

That's weird. My WD Passpory Ultra 1TB and Segate Expansion 1.5TB work as described.

My 240GB SSD in a usb 2.0 dock works great. Will I notice much difference with 3.0?

 

[kls701]

Hey guys, I have tried multiple usb flash drives in the dock. PnY, toshiba, etc. all ranges for 16 to 64 go. I cannot get any of them to show up. I put the games in the root, they are all formatted with exfat. Tried all of USB ports. They all light up upon inserting them into the ports, the games just do not come up. The only flash drive I have that works fine is a 8 gb Sony one. The others work fine in everything else. Can anyone point me to the right direction? I have no idea.

are you putting the games on the root of the drives?

 

[scroeffie]

can you have 400gb sd card internal and 2 tb external ? both exfat

 

[matias3ds]

can you have 400gb sd card internal and 2 tb external ? both exfat

yes , the restriction is only one mass storage on any usb port

 

[kls701]
