I think aio-switch-updater isn't affiliated to cheatslips, that app has added support to get cheats from cheatslips so it gets highlighted at that site. Tinfoil and my app also uses Matias3ds compilation. Not having it included in the database does not help in any way to prevent cheatslips from having your cheats.
First of all thanks for all the hard work you put in and the apps you have created!
I agree with you I can't stop cheatslips from stealing cheats but maybe can make it harder depending on other cheatmakers. Now what if other cheatmakers the ones who make a lot more cheats also starting doing the same thing. Means he would have to get off his ass and actually do something (copy paste steal)
He is making more than 200 US dollars every month from people. (He shows on his website that he has 54 patreons). This does NOT include his aggressive ad revenue!
At least more than 90% of his cheats including his animal crossing crap is from here.
Yes the side effect of this is that your app, tinfoil and this aio updater won't get cheats for you. This will only happen if other people agree. Right now it's just me!
But is this really a bad thing? I personally think it is too easy for users. Sometimes it takes hours and hours to make a code. I don't think making users come here spend a minute of their time and learn how to search, copy and paste is too much to ask for.
This way they actually get to see the code and maybe peek some interest in changing something. (99 items instead of 50. Moon jump press A instead of B) Or maybe start leaving cheats in pointer form only.
This would make some people unhappy (the lazy) but maybe this will make more people interested in making cheats.
We need to encourage more people to make cheats and make this forum better not to encourage lazy people who keep asking for the same cheat and don't bother searching.
This would also free up matias3ds time. All that time and effort could be spent instead on making cheats!
PS. I'm a nobody here. I've only released codes here for two games on the switch. There are many better codemakers here than me. This is just MY opinion on how to make this place better and how to try and stop cheatshits from cheating people out of their hard earned money! And I alone can't do nothing. It all depends on the other cheatmakers here and their opinion whether they agree or disagree or maybe come up with a better solution.
A note to other cheatmakers. If matias3ds keeps updating titles.rar in first post. Saying "do not repost" "for gbatemp only" when posting codes means absolutly nothing! You are helping cheatshits make money plain and simple!
