Hey everyone :)

Some context:
I somehow can't figure out how to activate/access my cheats anymore.
I usually used Teslas Overlay menu with the edizon overlay to use cheats, however, lately no cheats would be shown anymore when I started new Games.
("new" meaning installed lately, not particularly recently released)
I thought, well maybe there are no cheats for that game, however, I got sceptical when even Pokemon Arceus (whcih I've cheated on previously) wouldnt have any cheats anymore...

The current state:
- Edizon Overlay shows "No cheats loaded" for every game
- Breeze says "No Cheats available for BID:........"
- Edizon SE schows "No cheats available for this game"
- When used Tinfoil -> y-key(Info) -> y-key (cheats) its just a blank list
-AIO-Switch Updater -> Tools -> Cheats-Menu -> Show installed cheats: Shows every installed cheats (which is weird enough)

Current System:
- 14.1.2 System on EmuNAND
- 1.3.2 Atmosphere
- Latest Sigpatches applied

What I've tried:
- Reinstalled Atmosphere (deleted the whole folder beforehand, so no "contents/.../cheats" paths were available anymore)
- Reinstalled 14.1.2
- Downloaded and extracted cheats manually
- (Re-)Downloaded cheats database via breeze
- (Re-)Downloaded cheats database viaAIO-Switch-Updater


Thanks in advance and kind regards :)

EDIT:
I just realized that the Title ID for e.g. Kakarot is off on the download from AIO-Switch updater:
The download gave me fbe93aaaa4c11567.txt
Whereas the BID is 475724CE67A140AE

The valid Build IDs i found were:
98217279AAF870FA (v0)
C652EC8D0928BAC0 (v1)
B15B2DC33A8807FE (v2)
812571FBAE127537 (v4)
475724CE67A140AE (v5 > now, the one I am on)

I have to investigate further...

Every cheat manager will ask atmosphere whether it loaded any cheats. Most of them will just tell you what atmosphere told them. Some will look for alternatives. What you need to fix first is to have cheats with atmosphere. Google for details, I am not going to reiterate it again as I have already done so too many times.

Well, after I checked that the Build IDs didn't match I investigated further and realised.... The game(s) just had been updated and/or there are/were no cheats for the build ID I was using....

What is same? A quick way to see if contents folder is the problem is simply renaming it. It will not affect your game installation

So many people that ask for help think that them providing precise information isn’t important. I won’t be surprised that some don’t even have a unpatched Switch. After all the help about how to set up their SD were in vain and no body is the wiser about why there is this simple reason that no body could see as it wasn’t there for anyone who wish to help to see

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
