Homebrew Checkpoint savegame manager for Switch

[Leonidas87]

Just to confirm will this work on 5.0.2?

I have hbm running is why I ask?

Yeah, for the 3DS version. But you're right, I should link to that in OP.

Edit:
Here's the Switch support commit for the BotW Savegame Editor btw -> click.
Seems like the savegame differences between the systems are not that big.

Based on the work I've done on save conversion of BotW it seems Switch uses Little Endian for saves and Wii U uses Big Endian for saves, well, at the very least that's how BotW is stored. More information on Little Endian vs. Big Endian
And yes that seems to be the only difference between the saves. Makes reading/conversion trivial

Thank you for this, i am ever so grateful for your work.

And this is why homebrew is amazing. Awesome tool.

That picture is so wrong... Literally anything before Gamecube and ps1 couldnt give back up saves give or take the n64 but the memory paks were janky at best

Read the first post. In short: Not for anyone above 3.0.0 for now.

Very interesting. Thx for that. Read the Endian stuff in the commit without knowing what it meant.

What did you try? Backing up the BotW savegame?
That worked for me (3.0.0, cartridge game version).

My catridge game version is same.

Just as a heads up you can't use special characters in the file names when backing up. It causes the app to freeze and require a hard resest

Is there anything you need for it to compatible with 5.0.2?

A nintendo switch that is compatible with the homebrew launcher.


(your system needs to be on 3.0.0 or below)

I have a switch on 5.0.2 and the NAND dumps for 5.0.1 and 5.0.2. It does have a working homebrew launcher. I was just wondering if I could help in any way.

I'm on 5.0.2 and 4.1.0 on another switch.

5.0.2 has homebrew

Need this so I can transfer then reformat my 128gb sd cord as fat32. Currently stuck using 32gb for homebrew. 128gb with no homebrew. Want to swap the sd card.

I get an error when I try to overwrite botw save ERROR:0000F601 Failed to commit to save device. Any ideas what it could be?

 

[xaliax]

Same error here

 

[reminon]

Nice. Afterbirth+ saves have an enable/disable mods option.

Savegames are stored in the nand, not on the sdcard - normaly. (As in, if you go with Nintendos concept - this homebrew allows you to store them on the sdcard as well (where they wont be accassed by the system).)
