Fast and simple homebrew save manager for 3DS and Switch.
It has been almost two years since the last release. Finally, Checkpoint is ready for release again.
Checkpoint v3.8.0 for 3DS has a few issues that make the software unstable for various users, so we decided to remove binaries for this version for now. Please use version 3.7.4 in the meanwhile.
### 3DS - What's new
Thanks to every external contributor for this release: @diwo, @mrhappyasthma.
Thanks to @SciresM for hosting a compatibility version for half of 2021 waiting us to release a new official update.
Thank you for your patience and support.

Before I list all the changes that made into this version, please note Checkpoint for the Switch is finally getting rewritten from scratch to gain a new, better, beautiful UI and tons of features that I didn't have chance to build into Checkpoint yet.

Originally in my plans this should have been version 4.0.0. I definitely put the most effort I could to make this release happen, compared to all the old versions that preceeded this one.
I worked really hard for this. ~80kloc changed, most of the codebase redesigned, a brand new interface.
I'm writing this shortly before releasing this new update, and shortly after realizing this is not yet what I've always tried to accomplish during the design and realization, with little to no gains, of this piece of software.
That's the reason the version number has been reduced compared to the one I was planning to release today.
What does this mean? Well, basically nothing for the end user. You'll still get all the features that have been worked on in the ~9 months that passed between this one and the last stable releases.
Another set of features, that were originally planned to get developed for this release, will be delayed for the next major version, that will be carefully designed from scratch.
While the User Interface of the 3DS version still rocks, the attempts to adapt it for the Switch the best I could have kinda failed for me. It is now time to put together a proper UX that will fully take advantage of the Switch form factor, while keeping alive all the concepts and ideas that have made Checkpoint what it is today.
It'll be worth it.

.From this release, Checkpoint also handles cheat management. Source cheat files are provided by Sharkive which is another project that have been going on from a while now.
Originally, Sharkive was a 3DS homebrew capable of managing cheats. Since its functionalities have been now integrated into Checkpoint, the app itself has been deprecated and discontinued. If you try to run Sharkive, it'll just close itself now.
To learn more about cheat codes, how to submit them and how to get involved into the project, Sharkive's repo is a good place to start.
User ikeb0mb#2998 made a really useful video tutorial to show you how to use the Cheat Engine. Please have a look!
Features that didn't make into this version (I'm sorry):
It'll make more sense to implement those when the whole application is better designed to integrate this much feature while keeping the user experience as clean as possible. Software that matters is all about quality, not quantity.
