Hacking Hacking Switch! What about save states?

[Bakayaro]

Hello,
I'm planning to hack my Switch. I used to play a lot of original games so far and now I'm wondering if my save states are still gonna work after CFW? I'm going to install Atmosphere.

Save states? Or just save files?
Save files will work.

Save files will work.

Yeah. I just don't want to lose my progress. So it is 100% sure that I won't lose any save files? Where they are written?

Saves work fine. Create a backup first with hekate.

This too was my very first question when I hacked my Switch for the first time. Your saves will be fine.

As the guys stated above, it's practically safe to install CFW in regards to save files.
Unless you modify your NAND partitions which could render your switch useless and hence being unable to use it at all.
But that's another matter i don't have to necessarily point out.
anyways it is advisable to carefully read through the guides and seek out help if you stumble upon something
have fun hacking your switch
