How to Backup, Download, & Restore Switch Game Saves with JKSV on Atmosphere CFW

[@blainelocklair]

Nice! This is super useful. Thanks for putting the guide together!

[@MrMario2011]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@NewThaiboy9119]

I decided that after almost a year it was time to try to make this cfw/hekate work again. Eventually I did, but for some reason I couldn't access my Checkpoint or JKSV anymore. Watching this helped me to do so, but for some reason some programs/apps have doubled XD... I got 2x JKSV, but one of them works...so thanks! :)

[@MrMario2011]

Might be best to dump out and redo your switch directory, but glad this helped!

@@MrMario2011 oh ok...I'll look into it

[@Minisoda8888]

I tried this for animal crossing and nothing's changed. When I open the save file in JKSV on NHSE, the changes I made reflects but I when I choose restore, the changes are gone.

[@Navidoo]

Hello, thanks you so much for the great guide, I jailbroke my switch recently, before that I played totk and botw normally but now I can't access those save files, is there a way to find and copy them now?

I have problem thet when i try to backup it crash into gray screen

[@zayros5550]

The JKSV doesnt appear in the main menu of my switch, i need to launch it with the DBI album, i dont understand why

[@zayros5550]

and it always launch in applet mode..

[@MrMario2011]

You haven't installed a forwarder.

I cheat on some games using save editors. I know I shouldn't cheat but cheating is fun sometimes lol

[@MrMario2011]

I see nothing wrong with it for single player 🙂

[@AlemanGuy]

you dont seem to steal fun from anyone else so I don't see trouble in this, happy modding!

[@josuechoso]

Is there any way to backup my saved data without accessing Atmosphere? (Directly from the PC)

[@MrMario2011]

NSO membership, but you won't have any control over your backups. The only way you're accessing your saves on PC is with CFW.

[@reallyoggg]

Is there a way to restore the save from your sysnad onto the emmunand

[@MrMario2011]

Dump from sys, import onto emu.

[@reallyoggg]

@@MrMario2011 how do I do that exactly do I need to use the ctw on the sysnad

[@JosephMartinez-t5v]

I know this may be a unrelated question but I recently lost my switch with all my Pokemon saves on it and obviously when I got a new switch i will have to start over again witch I don’t want is there any way to somehow get the save from that console I lost onto my new switch with cfw please let me know and thank you

[@MrMario2011]

Not unless you had cloud backup or still have that old console.

[@JosephMartinez-t5v]

@@MrMario2011 ok thanks I have cloud back up but it says game not supported and I don’t know where the old console is guess I got to start all over again

[@JoeBobman13]

Is there any advantage to using JKSV over Checkpoint?

[@MrMario2011]

I've personally used it because it's the most up to date manager.

[@familytv1523]

i think differance is that you can pull saves from your normal switch non cfw. or can checkpoint do that too

[@bobalinx8762]

Can you create a backup from one account and restore it into another account?

[@MrMario2011]

Sure, you saw me do it with a random download!

Appreciate it mr. Mario

Thanks!

[@crissanchez413]

do you need jksv and how you get that program?

[@MrMario2011]

I will never be able to understand folks who come to a video streaming site and choose not to watch the videos they click on.

[@YoungWill163rd]

Is it possible to transfer save files from Ofw to Cfw??

[@MrMario2011]

Yep, if you made your emuMMC from Stock with the save on there, you can dump it already.

[@YoungWill163rd]

@@MrMario2011 unfortunately it’s separate from stock

[@mattone.0743]

This is great but I don't have any saved games on my moded Switch. How can I download the saved games to my console without being banned from Nintendo? I have Atmosphere CFW set to block access to Nintendo's servers.

[@MrMario2011]

Not sure what you mean? This shows how you can download and restore saves.

[@mattone.0743]

@@MrMario2011 I'm dual booting by Switch with Atmosphere CFW on the SD card. My saved games are on the internal memory. How can I get them from the internal memory?

[@MrMario2011]

For restoring a save? Make sure the build of the game you're playing is compatible.
