Checkpoint v3.7.1 Released
Bernardo Giordano has released a new version of Checkpoint, which is a fast and simple save game manager for your homebrew enabled Nintendo Switch hybrid video gaming console. Checkpoint now features an integrated offline based Atmosphere cheat engine manager named Sharkive, FTP support, a brand new UI and other changes.
What's New?
* Added: Checkpoint can now run again under applet mode, but:
* it will be very annoying.
* functionalities may not work properly and memory corruption may happen. Occasionally, the application could hang when trying to access one of the system applets. [Watch this video for an example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1uxh6wsNLY).
* Please do not run Checkpoint in applet mode.
* Fixed: changed port of built in FTP server to 50000.
Features
Checkpoint is created following ideas of simplicity and efficiency. The UI has been designed to condense as many options as possible, while keeping it simple to work with.
Moreover, Checkpoint is extremely lightweight - while being packaged with a nice graphic user interface - and is built using the most recent libraries available.
Checkpoint for 3DS natively supports 3DS and DS cartridges, digital standard titles and demo titles. It also automatically checks and filters homebrew titles which may not have a save archive to backup or restore, which is done without an external title list and filters. For this reason, Checkpoint doesn't need constant user maintenance to retain full functionality.
Checkpoint for Switch natively supports NAND saves for the titles you have played. Title information are loaded automatically.
Instructions
You can use Checkpoint for 3DS with both cfw and Rosalina-based Homebrew Launchers. *hax-based Homebrew Launchers are not supported by Checkpoint.
Checkpoint for Switch runs on homebrew launcher. Make sure you're running up-to-date payloads.
The first launch will take considerably longer than usual (usually 1-2 minutes depending on how many titles you have installed), due to the working directories being created - Checkpoint will be significatively faster upon launch from then on.
You can scroll between the title list with the DPAD/LR and target a title with A when the selector is on it. Now, you can use the DPAD or the touchscreen to select a target backup to restore/overwrite.
