Homebrew Question Checkpoint and Edizon crashes everytime

radicalwookie · Jun 18, 2021

Heyo guys Ive been having massive issues with my. Checkpoint always crashing back to menu. I noticed that some people had issues with it so I i stalled SciresM version but it still kept crashing to Switch menu. Then I said fuck it and tried Edizon but damn it that also crashes!
All other hb apps work fine. Im on latest firmware running Atmosphere and tried rebooting and reinstalling both Checkpoint and Edizon to no avail.

what is wrong?

According to a few threads here and elsewhere throwing your switch into maintenence mode and rebooting to cfw may fix this. Edizon and Checkpoint may be crashing due to a corrupt save file(s), if you're on exfat (hate to be that guy but I just did it myself) I'd recommend switching over to fat32 cause all my issues with exfat came from edizon crashing and corrupting itself, its directory, cheat files, and a few saves which caused a domino effect from there, like aio switch updater horking cause it couldn't overwrite/delete existing corrupted cheat files. I was unable to launch a fresh version of edizon due to a messed up save file and/or corrupted files edizon would attempt to read. Exfat is convenient but not worth the headache it causes after extensive use.

Im on fat32 and actually also just restarted since my Switch crashed after trying out Edizon. Is there any other save importers on Switch?

JKSV, but.. Edizon nro or overlay work without issues for me on 12.0.1 .. so.. something is wrong on your CFW.., try fresh install of atmosphere.

To piggyback off what Maupiti said; if you've deleted every file (cheats, nro, ovl, logs, the edizon directory, configs, scripts, etc..) edizon interacts with and reloaded everything with new builds/files there could be something wrong with your cfw, something could've messed up while unarchiving, downloading, copying, usage, whatever, or maybe you've got a corrupt save somewhere?
