So I have a physical cartridge of Odyssey. If I do this method for "digital" (best term for this) would it see my saved? I'm assuming so, because saves are stored on the system and not the cartridge but I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm?
No, because backup saves are stored over the title they overwrite

1) Get a title id of any game you have installed from http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Title_list/Games (this is your target titleid)
2) Create a directory on SD : sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*
3) use hactool to extract the romfs.bin and exefs files from your main game nca (its in secure from XCI - the biggest one)
4) put romfs.bin in sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/romfs.bin, exefs files into sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/exefs/
5) Edit titleid in main.npdm (in exefs) to contain target title id (this might help http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=NPDM)
6) run a fs_mitm containing CFW release, run your target app

Note that saves don't work for me atm, Simon claimed he made it work, so you might wanna wait for his way.
Minecraft works, others not tested.

@Create_ credit @Jan4V for finding this...

This all does really sound great :)
But where to find the fs_mitm containing cfw? Is there already one avaliable?
Because in the thread linked in other tutorials the cfw / the files got removed :(
Would be really great to have backups running so i don‘t have to carry my game carts with me when i got to hospital next week :)

Not sure what you are talking about. Not only have I found this independently, I was the first person who described the method publicly. I first described it in the SimonMKWii discord way before Simon or anyone else did.

He just changed the tutorial so that he doesn't credit you.

Do you think that Atmosphere will run xci files directly and without using the ID of other games for saves?
 
You guys must be really desperate to load backup this way, it's like building a house with sticks and duct tape. Just pay a little money to get that TX.
 
Script wont run for me, opens up a DOS window but instantly closes it

Why pay when we can have something for free? Sure it might take a little longer and early methods like this one may not be for everyone but it's something at least
 
So, this only works in the last firm? I have 5.0.1 or 5.0, I don't remember.
Anyway I will try later without update.
