Today we’re going to be discussing the Save Manager from TX. It’s designed for their CFW on the Switch (including Mariko and Lite models). It’s unclear as of now if it also works on Atmosphere and other CFW’s not made by them. So if you’re running a “free” CFW, stick with something like Checkpoint. But anyway, let’s get into the announcement from TX and see what it has in terms of features!
Announcement:
‘Another day, another release by your friends from Team Xecuter. This time we are happy to bring you [our] Save Manager, a friendly yet very useful tool to manage your game saves and keep them safe! You requested it, we deliver This is V1.0, although it has been thoroughly tested by TX reviewers team (thanks guys again) there could be bugs we did not find with the networking code. So we recommend for people backing up to the cloud to also backup to the SD card until we have more users reports. Thank you!’
