TX Releases Another Update To Their SX OS, with a big new feature: 'eShop NSP Support'

TX does not seem to want to take a break, they have now pumped out yet another major update to their SX OS, check it out below:

We are back once again with an exciting update for SX OS. Let's skip the drama for now and jump straight to the list of new goodies:

• Add LayeredFS support
  Are you excited about any upcoming Game Mods for switch games? Well, we are! To accommodate this we have added what is commonly referred to as "LayeredFS" support. In short what this allows you to do is override specific files from a game with modified copies that are loaded from your microSD's (ex)FAT partition.
  
  Place your custom game files under the following locations on the microSD root:
  - /sxos/titles/<titleid>/exefs/
  - /sxos/titles/<titleid>/romfs/​
  We can't wait to see what cool mods the community will come up with!

• Add eShop NSP support
  This adds support for installing and launching installed eShop NSP files. This is still rough around the edges and for advanced users only. To install NSP files you need a legitimate copy of the DevMenu, which can be launched currently via LayeredFS. We are still working on adding a custom and easy to use NSP installer to our own menu system. Stay tuned!
  WARNING: We do not recommend playing online with installed eShop NSP games without a valid ticket, as this WILL lead to a console ban without a doubt.

• Add low battery reconfiguration on bootup
  Some users were having battery issues after playing around with Switch Linux custom payload. This fixes the "battery desync" issue every time you boot your switch. If you weren't use Switch Linux there's nothing to worry, otherwise; enjoy your penguins AND enjoy your horizon OS!

• Hide OSX Temp files in game selection menu
  If you were pestered by bogus entries in the game selection menu chances are high this is because you are using OSX (and Finder). We simply hide those files from the menu now. All cleaned up!

• Removed eMMC password lock
  It seems a perfectly safe and easily reversible hacker challenge we put in place for aspiring hackers has been blown out of proportion. We are sad to see so many false claims on the internet and to avoid any further false accusations and 'fake news' we decided to get rid of it. Namaste.

That's it for today! We'll be back soon. Team-Xecuter doesn't take a break. While others moan on social media we work day and night to bring you the best experience on Nintendo Switch.

are you always about ad hominem? You just check people's profiles and then you define that their opinion is shit? Very mature.

Where can I find layerdfs mods and download them?

Curious about this as well

 

[kataclysmicmind]

Is layeredFS activated by default ?

Yes

 

[CapitanSburro]

Folder Support in v1.4 for people with OCD please

It doesn't dump them into .NSP, but you can convert the dumped .NCA into .NSPs: https://gist.github.com/khang06/84aabeac507fa99a676d22bb6120cea8

While I like the writeup there is no 'easier' way at this time right?

 

[Shirpie]

Looks nice, but I'll wait for there to be a easier way to mod games.

TBH I'm just as pissed at Reswitched etc. The obvious solution to this would be to enable piracy in the 3-4 months since SXOS was announced (which I totally thought was coming). Instead they decide to be Moral-Fags and just abstain from the obvious solution. TX couldve sold their dongles all day at a reasonable price, we likely would've got a unified code base that included piracy and possibly with TX pushing their own commits to the source (ie more people working at it) and TX customers would've could've been able to get support from whoever they have half-assing the code.
Everyone would be happy then.


Note: To those who are bound to say it, I know the obvious thing is that people don't want piracy enabling shit on their resume. The obvious solution is to fork the codebase as a ninja group and not reveal who the code authors actually are.

Not entirely true though. There is likely less people in reswitch than Team Xecutor. And since Team Xecutor is for profit, it's easier for them to devote time to their cfw. While reswitched is someone who is working on reverse engineering, and having mouths to feed. As a side note, they have been working on it. Atmosphere works in parts. The part that would enable installation of files/signpatches, is called exosphere, which while not finished, is near completion, given the fact it's starting to actually get to the home menu about two days ago. Which wouldn't before hand. So given that exosphere, the part intended to replace the trustzone, is just now working. Means they rather get atmosphere working first, since their goal is homebrew, and then getting exosphere. Plus it wouldn't make any sense to work on exosphere, if atmosphere wasn't ready, since you wouldn't be able to test if it worked since it depends on atmosphere.

It truly is a travesty, am I right? Although now that we have .NSP converter, we could just use that instead going forward, depending on how consistent it is.

 

[Darth Meteos]

yeah but im back

whatta fruitful conversation

Curious about this as well

we're at the early "search around the forums for random threads" stage
might make a compilation thread, f̶a̶r̶m̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶x̶p̶ help the community
EDIT: this is a joke, i genuinely do want to add to the community
please do not take that line seriously

Will this update make eShop Games work?

Hahah I asked this and was just reading up on the various NSP released tools.
But stil it all feels a bit well ... how should I say this.

Perhaps; I am staying away until that really looks more solid and so on

I am curious about this as well. Any answers?

 

[Kioku]

Need a "USB Mount" option in the boot menu.

Ah; come on, be a sport. The shit-post’s need condensing..

Just to keep this post on topic. v1.3 still working as intended, sheesh..

 

[jakkal]

Need a "USB Mount" option in the boot menu.

or at least a symlink to redirect sdcard to usb0

 

[KTroopA]

white icons for Crash Triology in game library remain (FAT32 split) - thought this was being fixed?

 

[uzi]

how does eshop dumps work?

At the very least, we're just missing a better .NSP installer. The .NSP converter covers a lot of ground and potentially removes the option of dumping .NSP. Still makes me wonder how BBB got their dump of Yooka-Laylee yet it remains their only eShop dump...

 

[jakkal]

how does eshop dumps work?

did you read the OP?

 

[Kioku]

Something..
Even a better FTP client would be nice.

Has anyone managed to get an .NSP to install? I keep getting error (0x00014005) when attempting to install Stardew Valley
