Homebrew Checkpoint, a simple and fast save manager

[Chrestomanci]

After leaving the app it gets stuck in the "Closing software..." screen

Also, pressing start froze the app for me.

the same here the 2.0.1 app (the first i checked) is very slow and when trying to leave to home it stuck closing the app for maybe 30s

so better interrupting the app would be nice and a progress bar for time consuming tasks

Did you read the readme? First launch is slow because of the working path being created. Next boots are a lot faster, instead. Also, you probably closed the app when it was still fetching your titles to create the working path, so I wouldn't be surprised if it got stuck for you.

The second time it did boot a lot faster but the same still happened to me. I waited a while and nothing more was popping up, and the titles seemed to all be there. If there was still a title being fetched in the background, then in that case a progress bar would have helped, like FunThomas said.

yeah sure i did not read the manual and tried to kill the app but a progress bar like in JKSM would help clarify the difference between what you see and what is done
but in a loop where some more things are done maybe its a good idea to give time to other processes after some steps that the 3ds can still do other things or kill it earlier
when checking my games in JKSM i get a progress bar and it works faster so i did not know what was wrong

or better let the user select to start fetching the titles on 3ds then he knows it could take longer

Great job my friend!

Looks like a nice Piece of Software. While i will use it, this brings me to a question to the community, since i'm kind of new to 3DS Homebrew.
My Question is at most tightly coupled to the Topic: Is there a "comfortable" way to transfer the backuped Files to the PC - !without the need for removing the SD-Card from the 3DS! ?
Something like a Homebrew App for Wireless Transmission or Cloud Upload?
Because, like you all know, it's just a real Pain to remove and reinsert the SD-Card from a New 3DS XL...
Thanks in advance.

you could use a ftp server maybe one app from https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/List_of_3DS_homebrew
and filezilla on pc

Thank you FunThomas. That did the Job. FTP-Server (ftpd) + FileZilla works just fine.

But i encountered an issue with Checkpoint. I tried it with Monster Hunter Stories (Cartridge-Game, that stores its Save in extdata on the SD-Card). The Backuping works perfect, but when i restore a Save it immediately shows the message "restored successfully" but hasn't done anything. I managed to restore a Save, using JKSM, that was backuped with Checkpoint. Thus i can say, that the Backuping works, but the restore feature doesn't do anything.

Did you read latest major release's changelog?

 

[Blankreg]

Yes, i saw that. I am using version 2.0.1.

Request: be able to read saves from a JKSV folder (since JKSM doesn't work on Rosalina).

Have you seen Phalk's fork of JKSM? It works on Rosalina.

No I haven't, thanks. I'll know that for future!

Is this a real time ram backup/restore app? Cause that would be pimp and the name gives that impression. Or is it just a "yet another" save manager app?

It's "yet another" save manager app, as you said.

*hax-based Homebrew Launchers are not supported by Checkpoint.

[BetterDuck]

This is pretty nice, I'll check it out once I've got my n3ds.
