For Checkpoint, all we have to do is create a folder switch on the root of the SD card, put Checkpoint and put back the SD card on the switch? And it will be all done? I would just want to edit my Smash bros ultimate savegame to unlock the characters (will it make me ban if I pay a online subs later?) (and same for mario kart 8 deluxe)

Yes, they can ban you in game for save editing.

I'm banned in game from Super Smash Bros Ultimate since 2018 for save editing, also they will ban your account too so it means you need new console and new account to play online.

Thank you, but I think I'll just play my game in vanilla configuration :( since, maybe, I'll play online later

Thank you Linuxares for deleting my test post. I didn't make the rules so... go figure...

For others coming across this post, Checkpoint generates the sav files (6 folders according to each save slot) and any of these can be edited on the Marc Robledo online editor (do a web search) then saved back onto the original Checkpoint folder where it came from, and then restored using Checkpoint again. Assuming one was using the right user to back up and same user to restore, and not using applet mode, it works very well. Bear in mind that one should not use values outside of normal game range, for example, I think the maximum of spirit orbs is 124 so, if one enters 999, it crashes.
