[TX Haters!] 2.0 Unexpected but mostly welcome surprise!

[Intro]


TX released a new update for October, and it's actually pretty... decent? Well, mostly.

[Why it's badly implemented]


Despite this segment being about why it's badly implemented, it really... isn't?
I don't see any major issues with it, except one thing...
THEIR USB LIB. It's great that they're making new, open source stuff, compared to how SX itself is in general, but there is already an existing USB library.
Q: Why would you reimplement something that already exists and make it only available to your platform?
A: To make more profit.
I don't blame them, however that is a bit of an annoyance.
Waiting to release this just for Halloween is just another annoyance, since these are bugfixes, and are usually necessary right after release.

[Stolen code]


Oh hey, this is the part where I talk about stolen code.
As far as I can tell, since this is (mostly) just a bugfix update, there is absolutely no new stolen code.

[Final thoughts]


It's a pretty decent update with something new that is open source from TX, which is nice to see... That's all I can really say.

Q: Is it good?
A: Sure, it's not really much of a special update.

Rating: 7.5/10: Surprisingly enough, not horrible.

Just FYI, the "already existing USB library" is nothing more but to transfer data from PC to the Switch through a USB cable, it has nothing to do with actual USB devices nor HDD.
This is entirely different.

Their libusb is only on their platform? I'm sure we'll see it decrypted and ported to regular homebrew soon.

Is it just me or is there no point to this at all?

@OrGoN3 are you referring to libnx's libusb or TX's libusbfs?
libusb is the one that enabled communication between PC and Switch, found on libnx.
The new libusbfs is entirely TX's work, and they just released it as OPEN SOURCE so that Homebrew users can start implementing USB/HDD support into their homebrew apps.

@ShadowOne333 I'm referring to TX's libusbfs. I had thought it was open source, but then I read the OP and second guessed myself. OP literally is complaining that their libusbfs is only for their platform, yet they made it open source so others could use it and adopt it to their platforms. Am I missing something?

@OrGoN3 nope, you're not missing anything, you got it right, OP got it wrong, the new libusbfs is open source, is not limited to their own stuff.

He did say it was open sourced
 
Having it open sourced doesn't mean that it's available for other platforms. You just can't take code and throw it into something else and expect it to work
 
because it requires SX OS to work. Think of it as a library being able to talk to the USB Service in the CFW. If the CFW doesn't have that service, the homebrew can't access it.
 
libusbfs is just some IPC bindings. It still depends on SX OS-specific components. You should probably wait for libnx to support usb drives instead.

Its not a special update to free users b/c even with opensource access nsp has no support to load from a drive
