Does anybody have a save for Radiation Island? I need one for after the tutorial because every time I try to skip the tutorial or collect the pineapple the game crashes.

I put CFW on my 5.1.0 Switch and backed up my saves so that went well! I have questions about the save dumps provided. Do we just put them in a folder in the Switch/Checkpoint directory and then use checkpoint to "restore" them on our Switch? I was trying to do it with Sonic Mania 100% but I got an error when opening Sonic Mania with the new save file. I was able to restore my original save just fine, but any help would be appreciated.

Also is there a way to flag the Master Trials in BoTW as complete? I'm so sick of that part of the game, and just want to play around with the Master Sword.

Does any one have a save file that has all the green coins for the messenger??I have 44 out of 45 coins and can't get the last one as they made it nearly impossible!!! Tried for hours and I just would like to get a nearly completed save if someone has one or even a finished one thanks.

If you go on airplane mode as soon as you access CFW and only use it to use Checkpoint you shouldn't be banned

It appears that uploaders only had save with DLC, unfortunately.

You can try to join the Discord server and ask them if they have a save with no DLC - https://discord.gg/AS4ufAs

It may take a while to find a save like I did with DKC: Tropical Freeze.

Hey!

do you have a new discord URL for me?
this one isnt working anymore - tried to find the new discord server - cant find the one with save games :P
need also a zelda botw save without played dlc. lost mine by reseting the switch and now i dont want to play
the whole story to play the dlc :P

thanks for your help :P

What I like about this OP: It doesnt tell you how to actually use those save files with your switch lol

not a big thing - just add checkpoint.nro to your sd card and launch it via homebrew launcher.

the only big thing are the title ids - you can search for it via internet or you just start a game, quit game, start checkpoint - create a new save file (backup) and you have the folder with the correct title id. now add the downloaded files to this folder and restore that backup via checkpoint.

you can find checkpoint at this forum:

Is anyone known to have been banned by merely using CFW (offline that is) to modify savegames and then return back online without the CFW running ? (i.e. clean logs in hekate and regular boot)
I'm tempted to go down this route since I lost an important savegame(Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate) but am somewhat cautious about being flagged since I do play online occasionally. I assume that Nintendo has no way of knowing whether a save was meddled with or not. I'm more concerned with them somehow finding out that one has run CFW on a particular system.

so I'm still looking for a stardew valley save for latest version. I think the one posted is not latest because even though it shows up on the load saves screen when I try to load it, it just takes you back to game tittle screen.
Hello, @comput3rus3r! Did you managed it to work? I can apply modded save on my Stardew valley via checkpoint but it not even show on my load game screen, any one have some hint?

Hi guys, I would like to know if it's possible to dump a save file ( zelda botw in my case) from my legit switch on 8.0.1 without hacking it in order to transfer the save game to my modded switch

I don't think it's possible to dump a save from a legit switch. Unless Nintendo has an official save dumping tool available.
