Applying cheat to Citra Retroarch on Switch

[kaminiisama]

Hi,
First and foremost thanks for coming in

The context

I want to apply cheat for Persona Q on switch retroarch's Citra

Technical background

• Nintendo Switch OLED
• FAT32 sd card
• Running on EmuNAND, atmosphere 1.4.0, Firmware HOS 15.0.1
• Retroarch 1.12.0 with core version 1.9.14 (to keep the savestate)
• ROM: Persona Q - Shadow of the Labyrinth v1.0 [0004000000123400][USA][Decrypted].3ds
• I got the cheat list from gbatemp thread

My understanding

I've zero understanding how it works, so I read the official manual from libretro

What I did by following the manual

• Changing the cheat file name into titleID.txt, which is 0004000000123400.txt
• I make the 0004000000123400.cht as well to make sure it works
• The directory on retroarch switch looks different from manual, which is retroarch/cheats/Citra/ instead, I put both of the .txt and .cht in there
• I also add both cheat into another folder, which is retroarch/cores/savefilesCitra/cheats/
• Adding *citra_enabled to a cheat that I want to activate. Here's some example:

[Experience x100 After Battle v1.0]
*citra_enabled
002474D4 E3A01064
002474D8 E0050195
002474DC E1A00000

Result

nothing, the cheat not automatically applied neither I see any cheat list to toggle on the game when I press (+) + (-). When I select the cheat files, applying it, it doesn't affect anything.

another minor problem

it looks like I cannot add PQ on "scan directory" section to add it to the 3ds playlist library

so...
Does someone have an idea?

Many thanks in advance for the help provided

For Persona Q (Citra) Switch

IMPORTANT:
Under every cheat name you MUST add:
*citra_enabled
or the cheat will NOT work in game!

To turn a cheat OFF, just delete:
*citra_enabled
from that cheat name.

Place the cheat file here:
Retroarch/cores/savefiles/citra/cheats/0004000000123400.txt

For some newer Citra builds, use instead:
Retroarch/cores/savefiles/citra/citra/cheats/0004000000123400.txt
