Are there converters available for other games not just BOTW as the switch has many remakes from wii u like MK8 and CTTT and it would be nice to transfer those over

Hey! A silly question, i want to change the owner user from one zbotw savegame, can i do this with checkpoint? I mean, i need ti transfer my current savegame from one user to another
what you can do is backup whatever save you want to transfer on your account, then in checkpoint there are however many savegames for different users. pick the user you wanted to transfer to, and press restore. this will show you your backups, choose the one you just created.

well, as with any hacking, you shouldn't do it if you want to avoid a ban. That being said, there have not been any bans for save editing. Maybe if you gave yourself max gear in Splatoon 2 or something, that could trigger a ban. But no one's really sure what nintendo bans for this time.

Is it possible to do save transfer with Airplane enabled (disable all wireless setting), so after that, return to normal firmware?

does anyone have mario kart 8 deluxe save file 100 percent all characters mines got deleted

Sure, I have this save that I found, but it isn't mine because I downloaded from other to test if save works, so they did.

Just replace the userdata.dat file by overwrite, so you are good to go.

Can I convert the Zelda 100% to the non DLC version? For the life of me I can't find a 1.5 normal no DLC 100%, I had it on my launch switch that got warranty fixed and I want to purchase the DLC with my (ell somewhat) save file or similar. I had all shrines, all gear (not all upgraded) like 300 korok seeds, Zelda's horse, the Big horse, all dungeons and ganon defeated, almost all side quests done.

Zelda save above did load fine without DLC but DLC stuffs will be inaccessible or hidden.

ok...I recall some guy saying it wasn't compatible and I never even tried, thanks, I'll check it now

I noticed that you got your Switch repaired under warranty so I hopefully your Switch isn't hardware revision by surprise to make unhackable.

That why I have to backup all saves first before sent to repair that may get data wiped out, however I will consider third party repair to keep original Switch, not refurbished with hardware revision.

Sometime, Zelda 1.5 save did cause glitch (stuck) on lower game version so had to use fast travel to get out of stuck.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 save require DLC to be installed or won't load at all.

It happen before any homebrew so I couldn't do anything. Reporting...it worked! I'll have to edit all those 999 items sown a bit but everything's alright...I hope when purchasing the DLC it let me start from the beginning? I dunno how the DLC works

If you install DLC so DLC stuffs will be change to accessible and shown up in game, so no need to replace the save.

do one of you have splatoon 2 save file 100 percent or maybe arms 100 percent save file? Also ty for the links

You can try Splatoon 2 save file - http://savesforswitch.ezyro.com/?i=1

It is possible that latest game update encrypted the save and locked to specific account, however you can edit on save to get almost 100% as possible.

For Arms, it used to had one until one of Discord server got shut down, so lost everything, unfortunately. :(

I have a new Switch arriving soon (just for SX OS purposes, offline only), and I'm wondering, does Checkpoint work on 5.1.0, or firmwares other than 5.0.2?
