(Part 2) Top products from r/SwitchPirates

Hmm interesting......I still would not buy the preloaded SD card....very sketch; it's possible Nintendo hasn't set their eyes on it yet, but to each his own I guess.

Well I literally just switched a couple days ago from a 400GB card to a 512GB card because I was low on space.....so take that as you will. I have a lot of games on my cards plus I also have the entire pFBA and pSNES romsets as well as the NES, N64 and a few PSX games on my card which is well over 100GB to begin with. So it's up to you how big you want your card depending on what games you get of course.

Not sure if you already knew, but SX OS has the capability to load External Hard Drives or flash drives from the Switch dock and/or the Switch itself. If you get something like THIS, you can just plug an ExtHDD into it and SX OS will read from it. You need to get the SX Installer from their main site which basically has an internal file browser in it. So what I do is put my XCI games (Which are basically the Switch cartridge format for games) onto any flash drive I have and plug it into the OTG adapter I showed you here.........Then, I can either load them off the flash drive through SX OS or I'll go into the SX Installer file browser and copy them from the flash drive into the SD card that is in my Switch.......that's up to you if you'd rather carry around a flash drive or just copy them to the SD card that is already in your Switch. This way I never have to remove my SD card.

​

Make sure you also get the most recent "boot.dat" file from the SX site as well which needs to be on the root of your SD card when you boot SX OS.

The 8bitdo snes controller is an amazing controller for playing retro games (or anything really). I’m a huge fan. Plus it can connect to your phone or computer and has several different input methods. It can emulate an Xbox controller for instance.

It doesnt show in the logs, but when I try to enter rcm, the rekado app acts as if its going to do something and then just remains the same. Same with rcm loader. https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Adapter-Samsung-Controller-Smartphone/dp/B00LN3LQKQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1543600369&sr=8-13&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=micro+usb+to+usb+a+otg

^^thats thr cable I got and I used an app to check if my phone was otg capable and it said yes. Could it be that its usb 2.0?

That's pretty slow. You want a card with 40mb/s speeds. Installing games will take ages. You can get SanDisk 128gb for £22.

SanDisk Ultra 128GB microSDXC Memory Card + SD Adapter with A1 App Performance up to 100MB/s, Class 10, U1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073JYC4XM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.ceVCbSEGCBJ2

i got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AQM8586/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

it really helps when downloading larger games to have a wired connection.

i happened to have the 4tb version of this:

​

https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Portable-External-Photography-STDR4000100/dp/B00ZTRXFBA

​

works well in all the ports on the dock, bus powered so extra power supply to mess with. Using exFat and seeing all 4tb with sx os 2.2.1 beta. write speed is only like 122 MB/s, but that's fine for me.

Sure. It works 100%. You might want a larger version of the same model.

Maybe get a USB drive if your setup supports it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XC1WGQR/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_10?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Is this the adapter you use?

I've been using this: https://www.amazon.com/Avantree-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Nintendo-Headphones/dp/B01G3J1I5M

Works effortlessly between my PC, PS4, and Switch.

It's really the basic model (see link below)

I have an UNPOWERED 4TB western digital 2.5" USB3.0 HDD which I connect to a USB C to USB slot adapter and the HDD is formatted as exfat and it works with SX OS for me to load XCIs with no issues.

the drive is one of these - https://www.amazon.com.au/WD-Passport-Portable-Drive-WDBYFT0040BBL-WESN/dp/B01LQQH842/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=4tb+western+digital+blue&qid=1558397482&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull

What happened to the speakers? Is it physical damage to the actual speakers themselves?

You could try repair it yourself

I’ll check but I don’t think it’s fake: https://www.amazon.com/d/Micro-Sd-Cards/Samsung-256GB-microSDXC-Adapter-MB-MC256GA/B06XFS5657
