I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues with certain games and their cheat files stating there's an error parsing. I've deleted the cheat files using updater and then redownloaded

it said the file size was slightly different from the installed size but I figured that was just a visual glitch or something. But specifically ACNH is giving a freeze when using "Save Teleporter" as that's the only cheat that currently shows up

I should probably mention I'm on SXOS 3.0.2, and the freeze isn't in game. It freezes in the cheats menu of SXOS's "Album" Menu

This is indeed a visual glitch. The problem probably comes from the cheat files themselves, and you'll get more support about that here https://gbatemp.net/threads/cheat-codes-ams-and-sx-os-add-and-request.520293/
I'm not at all familiar with how cheats work, I barely use them myself :^)

you can't use AMS only codes on sx os since sx os doesn't support them hence why it freezes in the cheats menu after enabled

in the root directory of your microSD, look for
Code:
/config/cheats-updater/exclude.txt
Create the ‘config’ and/or ‘cheats-updater’ directories if they're missing, then paste the ‘exclude.txt’ file in there.

Can't help you with Animal Crossing tho

I think you didn't have a sxos folder. You can manually create one or download 1.1.7

in what directory should i create? and what do u mean "download 1.1.7

-------------
i already have sxos/titles on mine, but i always get dark screen everything i press A. any solution?

memorycard/sxos/titles is it right? or my directory is wrong?

mine also. how its now? still the same?

Same issue here only fix is use uninstall all updates option in cheat updater and works again.
You can try manually updating to see if fixes issue too.
Think some games have cheats that break system or such yet dunno if glitch or issue with something else.

I do know atleast 6 games have it.
One if definationly new trails of cold steel.

Hi all. I am just going to apologise now. I am an absolute beginner. I have cheat updater, it is in the switch folder. I have edizon as well. I just have no idea what I am doing. I am attempting to use cheats with Lego City Undercover. I have downloaded from cheat updater and it says it found Lego on there. I just can't figure out how to activate.

Any help please?

Hi there, I'm on SX OS with a modded Switch Lite on the newest firmware. When I press A to update cheat files (I currently have no cheats installed), the screen just goes black with no response at all. I have to press the home button to go back to the home screen.

Any help will be appreciated! :-)

I have edizon and tesla and the overlays installed, and I also have Switch Cheats Updater. I have two games which are Animal Crossing and Pokemon Shield, they are both up to date. I run the Switch Cheats Updater and it creates 11 txt files in the location of my animal crossing cheats folder, and 2 txt files in pokemon. When I run edizon overlay and choose cheats it says no cheats loaded.

From what I understand to get the txt file cheats to work with Edizon and Tesla I can only use one txt file and it has to be titled the build id? So, what am I supposed to do with the cheat files that the updater created, because they are not titled with the build id and there are multiple files?

I'm on atmosphere btw. Thanks.
