[Release] Checkpoint, a fast and simple save manager for 3DS and Switch

ACNH saves are stored in device saves, not user saves. Checkpoint does not currently support device saves

Ah I see. Thanks for the details.

 

Will Checkpoint ever support device saves then? Sounds like it'll be a very popular request since ACNH is releasing

 

wondering this as well

 

I would say yes. https://github.com/FlagBrew/Checkpoint/issues/324

 

Fingers crossed, hoping the creators of Checkpoint consider adding the support of Device saves.
Especially if alot of future games suddenly decide to use that type of savefile.
Always a good feeling be able to backup one's own savefiles.

 

Checkpoint is nice but I have always preferred JK (since the 3ds days)

 

Made a new emunand, when trying to restore backups some games does not appear in the app until you start the game and create a new save file.
Any way to avoid this?
It also makes hard to keep track of all the backups stored on pc.
Sadly i saw just now that AC is not compatible yet, lost all my progress, 3 days of playtime only tho.

 

The old version of checkpoint used to save the saves to the SD card in the folder Switch/Checkpoint/Saves, but version 3.7.4 doesn't do that anymore. Is there any way to change the save destination (or a modded version of Checkpoint that can do this)? Thanks.

 

where is the nro file for this to access on my switch? I downloaded the file but it's just a folder, can't find the nro file, thanks

 

Make sure you download from the Releases tab and not the source code of the repository.

ive used this app to try and get my save to edit with pkhex. checkpoint says its backed up the save. but when i check it there is 3 different files and no .bin file? any help please

 

pkmn sw/sh doesn't have a bin file you just need the "main" file for pkhex

 

thank you. ive not long ago realised lol. maybe the guide should be updated to say that as it still says about the .bin file

 

Hello, allow me to ask how to use checkpoint. I sure I copied the cheatcode folder to the correct "atmosphere/contents" path, checked that the Title ID matches the game, but when I press the R button to use it will always display the message "No available cheat codes for this title". How can I solve this ?
I use Checkpoint v3.7.4. CFW 9.1.0 - NEU 0.11.1

 

Why are you using NEU - it was pretty much defunct after about 2 weeks....clean ams 13 works with pretty much everything now.

Also why dont you use EDIZON for cheats?

 

I try to use Edizon but I can't use controller on edizon, just the touchscreen is fine. I find the solution and know I had to delete Tinfoil, but I needed Tinfoil to download game

 

Use the snapshot build of edizon...works fine

and tinfoil now works fine with AMS 13

 

Please help me. I use Edizon ver snapshot and controller works well as you said, but when I try to use cheat I have this message:
"No config for this game was found. Editing is disabled."
I copy EdiZon folder from SD to root/switch folder but nothing happen

 

I have Atmosphere 0.10.4, FW 9.0.1, and I have Checkpoint Version 3.6.0. I cant back up my saves because touching Backup (L) doesnt work, pressing the - and + buttons dont work neither. I assume I have an outdated version?

My question is, how do I update checkpoint? Do I merge the new folder together with the pre existing folder?
