Hello guys

The Nintendo switch was stolen from me a few days ago and I am very sad for that
But I'm more sad about save data , Zelda , Pokémon's games, etc .. :sad:
And now I have bought a new oled device,
and my question to you is, I saw on your beautiful site that there are save data for games, can I send them to my device?
do i need to hack ? is the online gonna work or just gonna disable on game that i add the save data in ?
if yes , please share and steps to do that or any video tutorial .

love you guys .. thx
 
Very sorry to hear that your switch got ripped off, that sucks majorly. What sucks more is that as far as I know, to use save data that's been uploaded online, your console has to be modded and running CFW.

Importing save files would require a modded system. Which with every lite/oled model requires a hardmod I'm afraid.

Only option for you is a modchip to be installed in your Switch. That means you'll have to find someone with a reputable service to do it for you. Or sell the Oled and buy an OG switch via ebay

If you have used cloud to backup your save you probably can retrieve some of your saves , not for pokemon though.

i tried , it says there is no save data :(
 
That's unfortunate! This is why I do bi-monthy full switch save backups. I always worry about theft or the device just dying randomly.

You needed to have Nintendo switch online service and the unit connected only to automatically backup your save data for the one compatible with cloud.

Ahhh , i dont think i had it on my old Nintendo Switch :( i didn't active save clouds there
 
if it makes you feel any better, my first switch died inexplicably. I didn't have nso (which can save you), so I also lost all saves, including 115 hours in octopath traveler (at my last chapter 4). it's pretty terrible. I haven't really gone back to the game ever since.

I got all saves back and better by playing the games again aside from octopath and xenoblade chronicles 2, which I had about 35 hours in.

I'm on disability, and even I don't want to go through that again. octopath is just brutal.
 
I want to take apart a Tile (Bluetooth tracker) and hardwire it to the 3v lines and place it inside my Nintendo Switch (outside of the RF shield, obviously) just as a preventative measure in case it gets stolen. (Unlikely, but shit happens)

Tiles come apart easily with a plastic pry tool or guitar pick. The battery it comes with can be tossed. The PCB can be hardwired to a 3v line on the Switch's mainboard, so it has constant power, even in sleep mode. (I have a hackable 2017 Erista launch system Switch that's never had CFW on it.) The power draw of the tile's flex PCB is so miniscule, it won't affect the Switch's gameplay or standby battery life.
