Homebrew RELEASE Switch Cheats Updater - Update your cheat files from your Switch

[minimorphee]

hello and thank you for this great application!
I was wondering, is it possible to have at the end of the download of the codes, a list which shows for which sets of the codes were downloaded?
In my case I wanted to know if there were codes for a spécific game. So I did the download, the software said 53 downloaded cheats. but impossible to know if there was one for this game .. forced to launch it and go to edizone.

Thanks again for this great homebrew!

It wouldn't be very useful with the current layout of my app since it can only display so much lines at once. I recommend you use https://tinfoil.io/Title/ to search a title and then check if a folder with the corresponding title exists

Something's wrong, the app only detects three installed titles but I have like five of them. And it doesn't seem to be working on those titles it doesn't detect, since EdiZon overlay in Animal Crossing tells me it didn't find any cheats (provided cheats for version 1.1.4a are included in the latest cheats file)

Well it'd make sense that it wouldn't work on titles it didn't detect. Where are those located? SD card? NAND? Gamecart?

But for animal crossing I'm having the same issue it seems. I'm almost positive it comes from the cheats themselves. I downlaoded a clean titles.rar from matias3ds' thread and it didn't change a thing. So my app is working as intended

@Homlet : firstly I deeply want to say thank you for that tool. Edizon has update function but not so quick, that's why your tool is so necessary for ppl like me. However, may I suggest a small update?
There is a folder name is 0100152000022000, which caused some troubles in Mario Kart 8 (turns characters invisible or freak size...). Everytime updating, this folder reappears despite you delete it before. So could you please do sth to this situation?

That's the mario kart folder so it would make sense to create it when updating cheats. Maybe you messed with cheats/mods and saved or messed something up? I'm not sure, but my app putting cheat .txt files in that folder shouldn't do anything bad. It's expected behavior. Check Edizon to see if some cheats are loaded

I was pondering the idea of it detecting correctly every installed title and just printing the wrong value.
I can't tell which games are being detected and I can't manually check which games have cheats because I was already using the cheats file manually before you released your app. Should I delete everything from the contents folder and try again?
Anyways, two titles are installed on the microSD and the others on the NAND.

No, it prints the size of the list of detected titles, and that's reliable. Are you sure you're using v1.1.1? In previous versions, it didn't look for titles in NAND. You may use https://tinfoil.io/Title/ to lookup the title IDs of your installed titles, delete those folders, launch the homebrew and see if correctly installed the cheats.

I just installed a game to the NAND and it worked fine for it, and well as for my other games on the sd card

Sorry, I was using version 1.0
Now it works without a hitch!

Does the cheats deletion option remove only cheat folders from atmosphere/contents? I'd like to use it, but there are also some mods there and I'd rather not installing them again.
Also, what time is your mirror updated?

If I already have an selfmade cheat file, does it get merged or overwritten?

Yeah, it deletes the contents of cheats folder for each of your title folders in atmosphere/contents but doesn't touch the rest. My mirror updates at 21:30 baguette time

Very nice app/homebrew. Was a very demanding request from many gamers on here for a long time. I’ve tried it, it downloads the cheat file but I think when it comes to extracting the file I only get a black screen. I’ve waited in case it took a while but nothing. Doesn’t crash my system though. After checking my sd, I can find the .zip in the folder. I’m using sxos by the way and using v1.1.2.

apart from that it’s bloody great. A nice GUI redesign would make it look more appealing but keep up the great work

Download 1.1.3
It came out a few minutes ago and fixes that very problem, turns out I got the wrong path by mistake :^)
I'm glad you like it, and a GUI would be nice but I hate making those haha

this guy haha I’ll give it a try next time I pick up my switch. Really and truly though, it’s amazing. Should be proud of yourself man.
Why not let someone trusty or close to you design the GUI ? I don’t know much about all that stuff but just a suggestion. For now it’s doing the main thing and that’s all that matters. The GUI is not necessarily important

One that can pull cheats from switchdb would be nice

I'm working on a way to include those aswell, but don't hold your breath

EDIT : not trivially doable, so prolly not unless I'm very bored. I'd have to ask the switchcheatdb admin

I spent a few hours looking for something like this a couple months back and couldn't believe it didn't exist whilst simultaneously sitting there not coding one myself or even being able to. Thanks, cant wait to try this!

Hi is it possible to add a Blacklist Feature?

Example:

A List where People can write down the Title IDs & Build IDs of Cheats.
When the Title IDs & Build IDs are in the List, they will be Ignored.

I have some Cheats with some custom formattings or in different Languages,
that i won't have to be replaced.

Would be nice!! Thanks in advance!!

So I downloaded this and put it in the Switch folder. Booted up my switch and at first I couldn't find the app in the "Photo Album" where all my other Homebrew apps were (it was in nx-hbmenu app). I launched it and updated the cheats when prompted-all good.

Booted up Pokemon sword, started played, pressed the home button and went to Cheat menu in SXOS (inside photo album). I was prompted to update cheats, did so and there is nothing there. I have no idea what Im doing wrong. Do I need to have no cheat files already on my switch SD (I had some out of date Pokemon sword ones)?

@Homlet
The Delete function is very nice but the Tool delete only the .txt files.
Can you please add the Tool delete the folder too?

1. You probably put it in the wrong folder. I suggest you put the "switch-cheats-updater" folder that contains the .nro in the switch folder
2. I'm not sure how SXOS works, but you should:

• launch the homebrew app to download/update your cheats. Those cheats will then be in "sxos/titles/<titleid>/cheats"
  
• launch the game
• launch the cheat menu in SXOS

You might need to restart your console after getting the cheats from the homebrew

It's done, check out 1.1.5. It also deletes empty titleid folders

So I am having issues getting cheats to work after the 10.0 update . I was told Edizon didn’t work properly any more ? Any idea on what may be going on . I load up for my breath of the wild but it won’t read the cheat file ?
