EdiZon was always more of a cheat/save editor than a save manager. If you want to export and import and back up saves I'd try JKSV instead.

+1 for JKSV

Another +1 for JKSV. I've never used Checkpoint and don't believe I need to because JKSV 'just werks'.

 

[mathew77]

JKSV, dbi.

I tried using JKSV, it crashed on me, so I've been using Checkpoint and have no complaints. Basically, use whichever works for you. Or just works, period.

Did you try it to run in Title mode?

 

[such]

I think so, but can't remember for sure, honestly. Right after this happened I tried Checkpoint and basically had no need to put more time into figuring it out since it did everything I needed it to do.

@such
You need to use these homebrews in Title mode (holding R with any game), rather than Applet mode (running it via Album). Even Checkpoint works better with it.

 

[such]

@mathew77 Yeah, thanks for the tip

I'll be the exception and give thumbs up to checkpoint, only one I've ever used and it works. I'm on same firmware as OP.

For what it’s worth I’m on 12.0.3 and JKSV works fine in either Applet or Full RAM mode. It’s only when @JustJay mentioned his current FW version that I thought this might be useful.

Im using jksv rn, because the first time im using checkpoint i cant backup my AC save file(idk if it works now with newest update)

JKSV is best and be sure to hold R and tap one your games to access hbmenu with full ram.

I'm a personal fan of Checkpoint. I think I used JKSV one for backing up Animal Crossing since Checkpoint can't do that, at least it couldn't at the time. I don't know if that was fixed or not.

 

[SkyQueen]

JKSV

Only used Checkpoint for my XC2 save but it did the job for me.

 

[Skandu-]

JKSV for saves, Edizon SE for cheats

 

[Draxzelex]

I've only ever used Checkpoint so I'm going to have cast my vote on that.
