Checkpoint VS Tomodachi-Life-Save-Editor

I can't remember if this specific method also copies your save game for you, so if the save game doesn't appear on the digital copy, you can use Checkpoint or JKSM to copy your save game from the cartridge to the installed version. You won't lost your save data.

For DS/3DS, you can use Checkpoint on a 3DS to backup saves from carts.

3DS with CFW, using the Checkpoint homebrew. You want the .cia version. DS cartridges sometimes take up to 20 seconds to appear, but always show up at the top left of the icon grid. Backup and restore behave exactly how they do for 3DS games. This is the best and easiest way, do it if you can.

On a 3DS with official carts you can use [Checkpoint](https://github.com/BernardoGiordano/Checkpoint) to back up *and restore* your DS & 3DS saves.

If you have a hackable switch that will get you going in the right direction. Then you need to use Checkpoint to dump the saves.

To get checkpoint, go here and download the cia file. Put it somewhere on your sd card (it doesn’t matter where as long as you remember where it is) and then open FBI on your console. Click SD and from there find where you put the file. When you get to it press A and select “install an delete cia.” This will install it your home menu and then delete the cia so it doesn’t clutter your sd card (once it’s installed the cia isn’t needed).

After that, Checkpoint is the save file backup software they mentioned.

I assume based on your cfw comments you already backup your ds/3ds games, but for anyone googling or searching this reddit in the future... TWLSaveTool can backup your DS games. 3ds has Checkpoint or JKSM. You need homebrew or a cfw 3ds for these.

If you have a modded 3DS you can install checkpoint, an app that lets you back up your saves from games. Use it to back up your pokemon games' saves and you can edit them on a PC with PKHex. In PKHex you can load up a save and save the individual pokemon (or entire boxes) as .pk# files (the # corresponds to the generation of the game). From there you can load you .pk# files into the next game.

Yes. I've done it with Brionjv tomodachi life save editor. I had to use version 4.0.0 (Omicron) because the option was locked (broken?) in the newest versions.

If you have a 3DS/2DS with CFW, you can make back-ups of your save file with apps like Checkpoint. You can even dick around with the save file with the Tomodachi Life Save Editor, if that's your jam.
