SX OS 2.8 update brings full compatibility for the recent firmware update 8.1.0.

Nothing more, nothing less. We have some very cool features lined up that are not quite ready for primetime yet. And we didn’t want to keep you waiting till next september either.

So what are you waiting for? SX OS 2.8 beta is available for download on our website now! (and through the builtin online updater part of SX OS, of course)

According to the current feedback from netizens, sx os 2.8 runs well on switch 8.1, except for some legacy bugs (for example the issue with SX OS & smash not being able to use the local wireless feature) that have yet to be resolved, so you can upgrade with confidence.

Next, it is the Nintendo Switch upgrade tutorial (offline version) for sx os users.

For non-CFW players, please go directly to the setup options to upgrade.

SX OS v2.8: Why we buy sxos license to hack Nintendo Switch v8.1 ?

  • XCI files – can mount and play XCI files direct from USB (no need to copy to SD card) and XCI files do not install tickets so *POTENTIALLY* are not as detectable as NSP files.
  • No need to install each game, just mount and they run – just like inserting a cartridge.
  • USB storage – NSP files can be installed to SD card direct from USB storage, no need for PC. Useful on long journeys.
  • EmuEMMC / emuNAND – makes it potentially possible to dodge a banned console due to no records kept in system NAND (online play under emuNAND not recommended however).
  • The LAN online feature is pretty neat too – lets you play online with a banned switch
  • Different official firmware versions can be installed in system and emuNAND (no fuses are burned)
  • NO delivery- The SX OS is a 12-digit password consisting of numbers and letters that can be sent directly via email.

If you have Nintendo Switch and also updated to v8.1, if you want to install sxos CFW, please note that you need to first determine if your console is compatible with sxos, go directly to this website (ismyswitchpatched.com)to check the switch serial number.
If it is Unpatched, then you can buy sxos license with confidence, and this online seller is recommended https://mod-switch.com/

The advantage is that it can support paypal payments, and sx os code is usually received within half an hour. At the same time the site is also the official distributor of team xecuter in Portugal.
