Homebrew Question Is there any way to transfer a layeredfs game savefile to use on the sx os?

[Hondyn]

Well, title says it all. Just to clarify things up, I was using a donor game to play a back up I have. When i try and back up it with that hb checkpoint, the game I want to back up isnt there, the donor game is there instead

1.Make a backup of the save of the donor game you used with checkpoint.
2.Make a backup of the target game. The save contents of this were created by sx os.
3.Go to the pc.
4.On your sd go to switch\checkpoint\ and look for the target game saves. Look and take note of the files . Every game has different files.
5.Now go to the donor game save folder. You should have the same files the target game had and some more used by the donor.
6.Now take the same files the target game was using. Copy them and replace them on the target game save folder.
7.Go to yor switch. Open checkpoint. Locate the target game and restore it's save backup.
8.???
9.Profit.

And use backups LayeredFS->SX OS?

SciresM made a new version of LayeredFS which breaks completely replacing the contents of the game. (It was there for a while)

When did that happen?

When did that happen?

I went over at reswitched discord like 3 or 4 days ago and a mod told me that SciresM updated LayeredFS, it breaks the ability to completely replace contents of a game. That means no more backup loading with the latest LayeredFS sadly

Thanks, worked great!
I managed to do the file transfering part from the switch using nxshell (and increased my profit on step 9)
