It might work but then again they mightve made current saves incompatible with an older game. If he wants to try and make a backup of his save and doing so maybe it could work.
Maybe someone has a completed save lying around that will work?

I believe I had one uploaded at one point to filetemp of a 1000000% complete file but I have no idea whether filetemp is still around I'll check.

So filetemp-turned filetrip was shutdown at somepoint taking that file with it. Imma check my switch and pray that it's the same one I used all those years ago.

So I backedup a save from my switch which i believe is the binding of isaac save with all the stuff completed but no guarantee there. i used Edizon to make the backup so to restore the save you may have to use it as well. let me know if the link works.

Lo hice funcionar usando otra aplicación en la switch desde la tienda de Homebrew y con un cable USB conectado al compu

Sure,
I couldn't find a way to use Checkpoint since whenever i tried to open it it closed by itself, so i downloaded JKSV (02.23.2023 version) from the Homebrew app store, this application creates save files for your games which are normally hidden or inaccessible.

When you install JKSV, a folder named "JKSV" will be created on your SD Switch Root (excuse me if i'm not naming it properly) that's where we are going to put our save file after a few steps.

1. Have a save file of Tboi AB+ or Repentance, in my case i have Repentance,
You can find your save file in: Documents/My Games/Binding of Isaac Repentance.
Save files are storaged in backups so everyday you play Tboi a backup is saved on this folder, you should pick the latest (most recent) save file. Here's an example of my save file: 20240307.rep_persistentgamedata(1, 2 or 3) where the date and "persistent" are only present on the pc save files and we are going to erase that part of the file name when transfering it to our switch.

2. Go to the JKSV app on your switch and click on the Tboi icon, then click on New Backup, that is going to create a copy of our current tboi switch save file on the JKSV folder located on the switch root (Mentioned at the beginning). I suggest you play the game or just 1 Run before doing this step so the JKSV app has a backup to create in first place.

3. Connect your switch to your Pc (cable or SD) and look for the JKSV folder that was automatically created when the app was installed. This folder now contains the backup of the Switch Tboi save file we created previously, just delete or save it elsewhere if you want.
Change the name of the PC tboi save file so it fits the switch format, (ex: 20240307.rep_persistentgamedata1 gets transformed into rep_gamedata1, erasing the date and persistent)
Move the renamed PC save file to the JKSV folder and disconnect your switch.

4. Go to the JKSV app on your switch and look for the Tboi icon, then click on it and select the backup that is present there (is the only one) and press Restore. After this just close it and open Tboi and your pc save file information should be there.

that worked for me, but instead of changing .rep_persistentgamedata1 to rep_gamedata1 i changed it to abp_gamedata1

edit: nvm i just didn't have repentance installed my bad

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet

    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
