The opening thread posts are reserved for Sword and Shield v1.2.1 codes. The old thread was bombarded with requests for a new thread. I will try to keep these opening posts up-to-date as more UNIQUE Cheats become known to the public. (I will try my best to re-test as many codes shared with the public as possible to help ensure the codes here are legit!)
Codes for EVERYONE
The main thread will ONLY contain codes available for both versions of the games. Codes hunted for one version that don't have a working counterpart for the other game will not be in the main thread.
(While I understand the concept of Code Hunting (did so in the 90's for Pokemon Red & Blue.) The games are way more complex & personally I do not have the time to hunt for new codes.)
Switch Cheat Codes 101
On modern consoles (such as the Nintendo Switch) when you launch a game, the console will use as much memory as possible to store as much of the game as possible into memory. This allows for fast load times. The way cheat codes work on CFW Nintendo Switch is by pointing a specific areas of memory and editing the programing code.
A common cheat code example is code which prevents money in your virtual wallet from decreasing when spent in game at a shop. The game's programming normally determines the COST OF ITEM being purchased, then it subtracts it from your AMOUNT IN WALLET.
The programming would look something like:
"AMOUNT IN WALLET - COST OF ITEM"
If you were to edit that programming to skip reading the COST OF ITEM and just replaced it with the value 0, the math would subtract 0 from your AMOUNT IN WALLET thus making the item "free" with programing looking something like this:
"AMOUNT IN WALLET - 0"
There are two ways this programming can be made to the game. The first is with a Mod which is a permentant edit to the game. The second is with cheat codes which are temporary and have a data size limit (aka you can only make small changes.)
TLDR: To find cheat codes for the Nintendo Switch, a person needs to be able to understand programming enough to read the programming code language used to make the games (using special apps to read it.)
"Missing" Codes
The process of hunting codes is takes time (without being paid) so I want to send a HUGE shout out to @Falo. @Falo consistently has graced us with most of the codes players use EVERY day when a new version of the game comes out typically within a week. This is a massive undertaking.
There's need for more dedicated & experienced Code Hunters as the amount of codes being hunted with each new version is decreasing because time is money.
Let's stay on topic!
The following thread is ONLY for discussion and testing of Cheat Codes for using in CFW/EMU.
Please take any of the following topics to more appropriate threads on this forum site:
ENJOY!
