Just thought id make a quick tutorial for those who dont want to start from scratch on their switch. Havent found one anywhere else for the game.
Requirements
-ability to launch homebrew
-Checkpoint(homebrew app)
-a computer
Steps
1.Backup your game if you have one using Checkpoint and save it somewhere on your PC(just incase).
2.Download a save file or use your own.
3.Find the abp_persistentgamedata(1,2, or 3).dat file depending on what slot you want the save on/for.
4.Rename the file to adp_gamedata(1,2, or 3).dat
5.Find the folder in Checkpoints folder that holds your binding of isaac save that you backed up to your pc.
6.Delete the adp_gamedata(1,2, or 3).dat depending on the save slot you wanted/are willing to replace. The one thats on your SD card not the PC one.
7.Copy the renamed save file you downloaded earlier to your SD card In place of the file you deleted in the last step.
8.Use Checkpoint to restore your newly edited save.
9.Enjoy the game from where you left off.
Update as of 2/11/24
If the above method no longer works for you due to either the games version being to far ahead on the pc then the switches version. I have a link to a switch save below you can use with Edizon to get a save file that's better then starting from 0.
