Anyone else noticed that the savefile for "Animal Crossing New Horizon" in switch internal memory doesn't appear in list of games in checkpoint to make a save backup?
This is the first game to ever give me this problem and I been using Checkpoint for quite a while.

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

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.

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

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 :(

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?

    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol
