The SX Gear is also a dongle.
SX Pro:
This loads the boot.dat, and allows you to go into the options menu and launch any other payload no matter what the filename is.
SX Gear:
This loads the boot.dat, which then only loads a file named payload.bin.
Which one do you have?
"SX Pro is our easy-to-use dongle"

I have a SX-PRO with this payload from TX: https://sx.xecuter.com/download/SX_Gear_v1.0.zip

Ok so you don't use SX OS at all?
In your use-case, no, Kosmos does not create a file named payload.bin when it updates Hekate. You have to manually rename the Hekate file yourself.
Right, we are in the Kosmos thread. I use Kosmos (Athmo and Hekate)
I read other things on reddit, that is why I ask here.
Kosmos updater won't update the payload.bin in the root of your sd card for you, you'll need to do that yourself when hekate is updated.
I was just giving the guy a direct answer to his question and skipping that bit, as he's got it right. The sx dongle runs a boot.dat from the sd card, but if you use the sx gear boot.dat instead of the sx os boot.dat, then that chainloads a payload.bin from the root of the sd card. This payload.bin is not automatically updated by kosmos updater as it's not part of the standard kosmos/atmosphere setup, but an additional file needed in this specific use case with the sx dongle.

When you first setup the SD card to install KOSMOS, it asks if you want to add the briccmii payload for AutoRCM.... I though AutoRCM was already included as a part of Hekate?
What if you are on exFAT? I read that you are not supposed to use the updated if on exFAT

It must be enabled by yourself
It is recommended to switch to fat32 with 32k cluster size. Otherwise it can corrupt your files. After every update using the built in updater a message pops up which warns you.

Not in the toolkit. In the hekate menu itself. There is an "Tools" option. And the last is for enabling or disabling autorcm. And yes. You don't need to install briccmii then.
Thanks! makes sense... so "install bricmii payload" is not really installing anything but just enabling AutoRCM during install...
I have another question related to Fat32.... My SD card is currently formatted to exFAT and I am using an older version of KOSMOS.... if I want to just start over again with Fat32 on updated KOSMOS, I am guessing my steps are:
- Backup my saves via Checkpoint (copy to PC)
- Format the SD card to Fat32
- Copy over the new KOSMOS files from sdcardsetup (skipping all the BIS/emmc backup stuff since I already did that the first time I hacked the Switch)
- Install NSPs from scratch (via splitfiles or USB)
- Restore saves via CHeckpoint
Thanks again for your help

It should be enough to make a backup from the "Nintendo Switch" folder. Move all stuff from your sd card, format it with guiformat if its bigger as 32 gb, move the stuff back and insert the card to the console. The saves are on your console
Correct.
