Backup Game Update

[Acquarious81]

Hi,

I apologize if there is this thread yet but i've tried to found it and i can't.

There is any method for backup game update? because i've got a lot of this in my sysnand and i want to create a emunand and delink with a system restore "in emuland" and i want to reinstall it sure in offline..

thanks

Best thing to do is backup your game saves using checkpoint or the SX Installer. Then create your emunand, install your games while booted to emunand and then restore your saves. Once you confirm everything is working you can use the Nintendo recovery menu to wipe your nand or the better way would be if you have a clean nand backup, restore that.

Again make sure everything works before wiping anything.

thx but checkpoint saves also the game update? or only game saves? because i've download a lot of MB in game update from nintendo eshop and my adsl is very slow.. all this is in my sd card , i've just tried to copy in another sd by hand on my pc but switch not recognize the update folder, i also tried to copy all my working sd in another but not work

Checkpoint is only for games saves. I am not sure how to backup game updates. You can try creating emunand and then on your SD card rename your nintendo to emutendo, but if that doesn't work, I would say you will need to re-download.

I think there is a thread on here that talks about it, but you would have to search. I cannot find it right now.

sx installer can backup installed games including updates

... I've tried to use sx installer for backup my games update... but it can only backup game save from my xci dump or dump nsp if i installed one game from the eshop.. but i can't backup game update from my xci game ...

the games xci aren't installed on sysnand.. i've only run that like a virtual card, and after that i've dowload the update from estore, the update is in sd folder nintendo/Contents/register/XXXXXXX in format NCA.

I want to backup and after restore that files...
