Thank you for linking!
I did just test with Checkpoint and no problem.
I edited "myCurrencies" and the changes are OK.

the path should be checkpoint/saves/0x010067300059A000 0x010067300059A000/01/user/
and there should be 4 files here.

Hi guys, sorry to ask. I have done zero modding to my switch so far.
I know about Fusee Gelee and how to get into RCM.
I have never run a payload or anything as yet.

Any chase someone could list all the things I need to be able to use checkpoint?
I should be able to do the rest of the leg work myself, just need a starting point.
Much appreciated

You need homebrew to use checkpoint. Here's a link to a guide: https://t3chnolog1c.github.io/SwitchGuide/

You tested Mario & Rabbids? Or XC2?

I copied the files to sd:/switch/Checkpoint

then booted sx os and opened album while holding R, but album is closing immediately then.

am I doing something wrong or is it just not working with sx os?

my converted save files for BOTW never seem to be found by checkpoint, instead when plugging the sd card back in the computer it deletes anything that was in the folder...

**EDIT**

I can now see the saves and restore them, but restoring only wipes the existing BOTW save. Any help anyone?

**EDIT**

rebooted the switch a couple times and tried again, finally worked!!!

Kind of a noob question since I never used this. I'm planning to unlink my Nintendo account and it gave me a warning that my saves will no longer work or be deleted. If I backup my save with checkpoint and create a new profile, would I be able to use the old save tied to my Nintendo link account to a new profile? I know xbox/ps3 back in the day needed a profile resigner but not sure if this is the case with nintendo.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
