Homebrew Discussion SX OS Homebrew -vs- Hekate SDfiles

[morrison22]

I currently use sx os for running my backups. For homebrew, I use the sx os album launcher with the latest "hbmenu.nro" file on the root of the card.

The "hbmenu.nro" file I use is taken from the latest Hekate SDfiles instead of from Switchbrew nx-hbmenu.

I like that backup launching and homebrew is all contained within one payload launch in sx os and it appears to work fine, except for that occasional crash that requires a reboot.

I am looking to see if there is any reason to use Hekate SDfiles to launch homebrew instead of using sx os's album to launch homebrew. I will still use sx os to launch backups regardless. The issue is, I will have to re-enter RCM everytime I want to switch payloads to go between sx os and hekate sdfiles, which is cumbersome. Are the benefits of using Hekate for Homebrew substantial over sx os? Sell me on it.

Edit: Revised wording to make my question more clear.

if your using an older version of sx os and dont want to update for some reason, use sd files instead unless you want a brick, as sx os is known to have brick code in older versions. if your using a new version (1.3+) then you can keep using sx os as much as you want, although my personal preference is SDFiles.

Is there a reason you can`t hold down R while going into album to go into your hbmenu from SXOS?

That is how I enter the homebrew menu. Hold R and go into album. My post was not being understood correctly so I reworded it. Please see first post again.

I've seen a few people allude to SX OS having issues with homebrew yet seen nothing really specifying what issues exactly. My instinct is to assume that these people aren't using SX and that this is heresay, but I'd wouldn't mind somebody correcting me there.

I'm in the same boat. I do have the latest hekate CTCaer and SDFiles on my SD card and can load this as an external payload with SX, but I find myself not bothering because having to relauch RCM is cumbersome and I've not experienced any SX-specific issues yet.
