This is not an update for Checkpoint but for a newly released, related app.
As Mr. Giordano is a very humble person in his announcements, I apologies ahead of time in case a separate thread about this gets made.

JEDECheck
3DS homebrew tool to check undocumented DS cartridge data.

I made this tool to increase the amount of DS cartridges that tools like Checkpoint or PKSM recognize as valid cartridge.

If you had issues with certain DS cartridges with the tools just mentioned, then JEDECheck is the right tool to be used to be able to send us all the data needed to support your carts in future updates.

Usage is very simple: just plug in your cartridge and run JEDECheck. If the cartridge is undocumented, a report file will be generated on your SD card.

You can use Checkpoint for 3DS with both cfw and Rosalina-based Homebrew Launchers. *hax-based Homebrew Launchers are not supported by Checkpoint.
Why aren't *hax based homebrew launchers supported in Checkpoint? And I'm guessing hax based launchers are the steelminer, steelhax, freakyhax and the likes?

3DS: What's new
  • Added option to set a title as Favorite. You can now edit your configuration file to set a title id to be a favorite title, so this will always appear at the top of the title list.
  • Key behaviour changed. ( thanks @IBNobody )
    • You can now select rows in the backup list, creating backups and restoring a backup just with the button A.
    • Pressing Y will select the current title but deactivate/reset the backup list. It will also enable the backup touch button only. Creating a backup will then disable the backup touch button. This makes it more clear to the user what buttons / UI elements are relevant to multi-backup.
  • Checkpoint is now compiled using C++17.

Is it me or is the OP missing a link to the actual repo?

...doesn't exactly explain why *hax doesn't work with Checkpoint....
Luma3DS, the most widely used CFW, doesn't support *hax payloads. As you've been told already, it's evolved beyond the need of them, thanks to Rosalina. Why support something that is old and no longer used? Maybe Checkpoint needs sigpatches?

For compatibility reasons or and for people who don't want to yet move onto CFW...and risk a ban?:P

You know you can still use old versions of JKSM.3dsx for that, right? The major drawback is that JKSM can't back up Mii Plaza data from the NAND.

And if you just want to back up your data, decryption on a Windows PC is straightforward with just your moveable.sed and fuse-3DS – a utility like this is really only necessary if you want to restore save data.

It also doesn't do DS save files either, so I can't import or export save file from legit game carts I bought....

Doesn't savegame-manager still work on a 3DS? (That's DS homebrew that you would run from a flashcart. No persistent hacks necessary for that.)

i have o3ds with cfw, and i've been dumping my cartridges onto my sd card and using checkpoint to get the save data back on them. the problem is, i can't see the majority of the new dumped titles. they are on my home menu, so i know they are installed. i haven't opened most of them either, so that could be it. also, seeing as i have o3ds, i can't switch pages with zl and zr due to the lack of those buttons. basically, i have two requests:

1. could there be a way to switch pages on checkpoint for o3ds?
2. how do i fix the titles not showing up?

thanks for any help! =)
