Homebrew Checkpoint savegame manager for Switch

[SirNapkin1334]

They should port JKSM or something to the Switch too. I prefer JKSM over Checkpoint since I couldn't figure out how to get Checkpoint to actually work, and I heard it has issues with naming files. I also prefer JKSM's simpler GUI. Nice work porting though!

Put checkpoint.nro in sd:/switch/(here)

I put it in sd:/switch/Checkpoint/(here) to keep things clean. Just as a hint that that's working as well.

Don't think it does just yet.

Love this. Looking forward to the future possibilities of save editing also.

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

Same.

Also the online save editor also works with (identifies) switch saves, and f.e. also shows total time played. So if you havent set up a Nintendo account on your switch and always wanted to know how long you've played BotW, you now can..

Wait, two questions:

1. That BotW savegame website is now fully compatible with Switch saves (so no need to convert them to Wii U)?
2. If I don't connect a Nintendo Account (I can't as I'm on 3.0.0 obviously) it doesn't count my play time for any game? Even if I connect it later (once I can use newest FW thanks to Atmosphere)? Would my playtime start at zero from the day on I connect my Nintendo Account? That would suck a bit (yes I'm one of those guys who loves to get the playtime tracked).

Nice, anyone tested on 1.0?

Sweet! 100% working @Scarlet? I'll be buying a new microsd card just for my switch! Will I be able to follow this guide to install Checkpoint?

Ad1: I dont know if it is "fully compatible" with Switch saves didn't try loading a modiied version back - but it identified the save as a "Switch save" of the correct patch version of the game.

Ad2: Yes, I believe the "showing you the amount of time you've spent in a game" feature, is married to your nintendo account (unless a game would show you ingame time figures). At least it was, when I chose to stick with 3.0.0;

I can't speak for random video guides, but I launched it like any other app from the HBL on my 2.3.0 Switch. If that sets up the HBL for you, it'll probably work. And yeah it seems like everything works fine.

Thanks I'll give it a go then!

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.
