Hacking Can you plug and play the SD card from an old jailbroken switch to a new unpatched switch?

My old Jb switch has retired and bought a new unpatched switch. Can I just insert the card and jig the unpatched switch?

I'm pretty sure you can't. I believe all games (other than roms like for Retroarch) are tied to the individual console. I'm guessing you'd still have all your apps but not the games.

I see. Thanks. Is there someway i could get the save files from the old sd card and transfer it to the new console?

Yeah the card's data is tied to a console and inserting it on a new switch will give you a prompt to format it before you can use it.

You can get your saves with Checkpoint.
