Used Checkpoint 3.6.0 to backup saves, but when copied to new SD, Checkpoint doesn't recognize/show them?

Hi all,

I just went through some issues upgrading to a new SD card. I finally have everything up and running and ran into one last issue I'm hoping to find some help with.

I used Checkpoint to create saves of the apps on my original card. Copied the nro and folder (with saves) to the new card. When I try to use Checkpoint to restore my saves, it doesn't show the saves I copied. It's only showing the saves that were in the OFW and subsequently copied to the new Emunand.

Any thoughts on how I can get these Checkpoint to recognize the copied saves?? I'm using Checkpoint 3.6.0.

If it matters, I installed each game fresh on the new card. Is that part of the problem? I tried going into a few games to see if they had to be launched once, but then Checkpoint sees the newly created data, but still not the copied saves.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Mog

Are you restoring them to the same user?

When you backed them up did you launch Checkpoint with Full Ram?

You have to create a new save by launching the game in order to restore the old one, but as long as your saves are in SD:Switch/Checkpoint/Saves, you should be able to restore each one. Make sure you are checking dates so you don't overwrite anything you don't want to.
