Hello everyone! and thanks to those who can help me. I made the change to sx pro a year ago and it went well, the problem is that two days ago the switch gives me "boot dat".

I tried to format the sd and redo the process but nothing. I heard that the members of the xecuter team have been arrested, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Anyway, I ask if you can help me even if with another cfw potentially.

Buongiorno atutti e grazue a chi mi puo' aiutare ho fatto un anno fa la modifica con sx pro ed e' andata bene,il problema e' che due giorni fa la switch mi da boot dat?ho provato a formattare la sd e rifare il procedimento ma niente.Ho sentito che sono stati arrestati i membri del team xecuter non so se centri qualcosa comunque vi chiedo se potete aiutarmi anche se con un altra modifica.GRAZIE

Try to copy again the sxos file on your sd, or try another sd.
Please remeber that's an english forum
_-------+---+-----+++----------
Ricopia i file sulla sd o prova un'altra scheda sd.
Ricordati che su questo forum si scrive in inglese

Redownload the boot.dat file from tx's website, format the sd and copy the newly downloaded boot.dat to the sd.

Riscarica il boot.dat dal sito tx, formatta la sd e copia il boot.dat appena scaricato alla sd

bottom line, it can't find boot.dat. Either your card is damaged, the socket is damaged, the card is fake, or you didn't format it the proper way. This might be old news now, but it used to be recommended that you do NOT use exfat because of possible corruption. If you ever did a manual firmware upgrade and didn't choose the exfat option when installing the firmware, that'll do it too. Of course that is as simple as installing the firmware again choosing the exfat option. Just don't install the very latest as sx isn't updated to support it (I'd say "yet" but with the arrests, who knows...)

if the sd card is pre-formatted in fat32, regardless of size it won't download the exfat update :)

Then it wouldn't be applicable in this case anyway, so your point is...? I'm just tossing out ideas and most "smart" people using CFW aren't using it on sysnand, therefore manually installing updates with choi or daybreak, not simply "downloading them".

Idk what your using to format,
but partition scheme for FAT 32 must be MBR, if you use GUID partition table it will not read.

    RG Cube is going to be good for ps2 if it's $100

    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example

    And I also have my ps3

    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf

    Oh tootles

    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
