Hi !

Sorry if my message is not on the good discussion and sorry for my english too.
I want to buy "Animal crossing" (physical version) but the only back up is on the switch.
I would like to know if there is a way to make a back up on an external support (hard disk or USB key) ? I've been searching, but I can't find anything :(
If "yes" could you give me a link to know how to do it ?
Thank you for all you do for the players !!!

I think you mean NAND backup right?
if yes take your sd card out and put in your PC/Notebook. There should be a folder in the root called "backup". Just back up that

Hi !
Thanks for the answer.

In fact, what I'd like is to be able to save a switch game (Animal Crossing) that doesn't offer any other save than that of the Switch on a HDD or an USB Key...If it's possible.

Like I understood,

You will get a physical Animal crossing right? So the game save will be on your switch.... You can easy backup the game save with tools. Im sorry I dont know where the problem is

Click to expand...

I read your fist text again and you want something on a external device(HDD/USB) a backup. But what kind of a backup? Gamesave or NAND?

Sorry as I say in my first post I'm totally noob.
I would like a game save : transfer back up of my save from Switch to an external support, if it's possible.
Thanks for your help.

Everthing is okay. Everyon has his/her first time :P like me

So to make it more clearly now. You want to back up your current saves on a external device(HDD/USB) to avoid the mix up with the animal crossing save, right?

Does not your Switch have enough free space for keeping all game saves and animal crossing save?

No, in fact I want to have the possibility to transfer my Animal Crossing's save from my Switch (when I'll have the game) to an external support (when I want) because I don't want to lose hundreds hours of gameplay if my switch crashes.
Nintendo says there will be the possibility of asking customer service to retrieve a save from their cloud but I don't trust them, not to mention that we'll probably have to wait and provide proof of the Switch change

Ahh okay I understand now, sorry

I think it isnt possible too say direct where the save should be saved. Look in the data setting in your switch maybe there is something(I would do it by my own but my switch is burned since 3 months) The only option is that I got is, you need to save it everytime by own with the save manager tool. Then you need to backup it from your SD-card

    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
