Team-Xecuter Presents SX INSTALLER v1.0

[Deleted member 535]

It was teased in the 'Features Showcase' video released by TX earlier this week, but now its available to download!

As you all know by now, when TX released their SX OS v2.4 earlier this week, there was a video released alongside it, and in it people quickly noticed there was a new app called 'SX Installer', well it was not fully ready then, but now is available for all to enjoy!
sx.xecuter.com

This full featured app takes care of installs and so much more! In fact, an overview manual is now being prepared along with screenshots and detailed information on how you can better utilize all of the features we have packed into it.

This manual will be available on our SX Portal page when it is completed, in the meantime we have opened up a dedicated 'support forum' for the app, and have decided to release it now, to get it in the hands of our loyal SX OS users so you can right away start enjoying the many functions and features it has to offer.

Basically, at its core SX Installer is an advanced NSP Installer, that allows you to simply list, view, in one easy step, automatically install all your NSPs, along with the matching Game Updates, and DLC Packages, and these can be search and grabbed from many locations, including: FTP, HTTP, NUT Server (separate app on your PC), SD, USB HDD and NAND.

But that is not all it can do, as you can see from the quick overview below of the main functions. SX Installer has the ability to directly launch XCI games, and even launch your Classic Retro 'Game ROMs' for various different emulators installed, and of course your favorite homebrew apps. It even has a built-in file browser!


PLEASE NOTE: (currently .xci launching is only supported in firmware 5.x or below – 6.x support is on it's way!)

To get started, unpack the downloaded sxinstaller.zip and move all of the contents to the root of your SD card. The "sx.nro" file should be stored in /switch/sx/

Below is just a quick overview of the main functions of our SX Installer App:

• Ability to show titles in table view, or icon cover view.
• Install NSP's from FTP, HTTP, NUT, SD, USB HDD, and NAND.
• Ignores firmware requirement when installing.
• Ability to queue multiple title installs.
• Ability to search titles.
• Ability to list and delete tickets.
• Ability to export all title keys installed on the system.
• Ability to overclock to install faster in some situations.
• UI Translation into 12 languages.
• Title meta-data translation into 12 languages.
• Downloads and displays game artwork (internet connection required).
• Ability to list, view, and delete application records (lets you uncleanly forcibly uninstall a DLC or update)
• Ability to list installed titles, and launch them (launching is 5.x and below only)
• Ability to list XCI's mount them, and auto-launch (launching is 5.x and below only)
• Ability to list and install new games available, with the option to install all new games
• Ability to automatically install the latest patch and all DLC with a game.
• Ability to protect users from running malicious unsigned code accidentally by blocking all unsigned code installation unless explicitly enabled.
• Ability to list and install newer updates available for your game(s), with the option to install all updates
• Ability to list and install newer DLC available for your game(s), with the option to install all DLC
• Ability to list all incomplete installs (like when the SD gets corrupted, or you swap SD cards without copying data), with option to reinstall all of them.
• Ability to list and launch NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBA, SMS, SG, SCD, GG, and SG1000 RetroArch games.
• List and launch Homebrew apps
• File browser that lets you explore your file systems, delete files (SD only), and copy files (only SD is writable)

That's it for now! Have fun diving into all the cool features this app has to offer. Keep your eyes peeled for the full manual. It will be posted as soon as it's ready!

nope... on multiple forums no1 answers this question...
i managed to get the os installed but it asks for a key and goes no further... i goto website and upload my file but it says its a free version or something... pointless by looks of things unless you pay money for a dongle

Hi, I just got it to work. no issues. You have to run it once as a free version. then buy the license from a website, I bought from mod3dscard.com. I tried paying with credit card first, but my payment failed. then I went on their discord server and paid using paypal and received the link in a couple seconds. So you don't need to buy a dongle, just the license. Hope it helps

You DO NOT have to pay to use the OS or to run homebrew, but you cannot play game backups.
You DO have to pay if you want to play xci or nsp game backups on it.

so basically, how it works is, you can download and use sx os for free as long as you want. if you want to use the full version you have to buy a license. I am not sure what your "switch app Switch Mega Installer" is, but if you'd give me a link. I'd check it out. if it is something homebrew store type of thing, I don't think you can "install" it after you've already booted into some other OS like Reinx or atmosphere.

Also, something rather offtopic here, but I am software developer by profession and I'm really interested in getting into homebrew, which is basically the whole reason why I hacked my switch.

If you have any knowledge of development on the switch, would you mind taking a look here?

thanks for your in depth response.
that cleared a lot up for me and would seem i shoud be able to add SXOS support to my app but unless the end user has a licence then it wont work properly.

my mega installer is an app that runs on the pc and lets you choose what to install to your switch (sd card) it has all known homebrew apps and tools but lets the users choose what they want to use while installing the required files to the right directories too.

its basically for fast updates to software without causing issues to the sd card and new to switch users, works with both FAT32 and eXFat.

i would recommend you use this as it may help with your question as there are some apps that are on the switch for debugging etc which may help with your question
