you should not run HBL from the album applet, press AND KEEPT PRESSED the R button while loading any title and you will be launch the HBL on full mode.
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I only see the homebrew apps via the album (applet mode). What software do I use to put homebrew apps on the title screen along with my games so I can launch it with full ram access? Is it the homebrew menu nsp hayato123 said? Thank you.

YOU NORMALLY DON'T SEE THE HBL on the main screen, as stated:
  • PRESS THE R BUTTON ON THE Joy-Con (or any controller) and DO NOT release until all finish.
  • select ANY title on the main screen, run it. DO NOT LET GO THE R BUTTON
  • if you are asked to select a profile, do it. STILL DO NOT LET GO THE R BUTTON
  • when the HBL loads you are on full app mode.
I your want the HBL icon on the main screen you need to install a forwarder but that is advanced, please start for reading the guide https://rentry.co/switchHackingIsEasy for you to get to know the basics.

As always on any scene you like, YOU NEED TO FOLLOW STEPS ON ORDER, and read and understand each one.

Thank you so much for teaching me how to run the aio-updater in full ram mode. I ran into a different problem. When I download cheats from cheatslips, it doesn’t crash like it did before but it says “The software was closed because an error occured.” Is there something I am doing wrong?

@Homlet is there a way to add all cheats database offline to AIO Switch updater so that your app can then extract from a ".zip" file the cheats for the installed games only?

Also if there's a way to have the offline database can it also use the option "install individual cheat codes" but reading all from a offline ".zip" file?

If yes so how can I do it? In your github you have the "Switch-cheats-db" and a lot of files to download there...

Sorry I am late to respond to you, but like we talked about yesterday, I was curious so I tried it out myself. I downloaded the entire cheat.db file and unzipped it, I copied all folders to Atmos/ contents. (FTP or Goldleaf both worked for me to do this) Then I ran 10 or so games with cheats, with no problems at all.
I think if you are having problems coping over the files, or your switch runs slow while trying to do this, then there must be an issue with your switch, pc, java/zadig driver, or even a sd card with errors or slow read/write times. Also make sure your cards are formatted to FAT32.
I'm not trying to knock you or criticize you, I was just wondering why you are having these issues. Have you tried a dif sd card? Either way, Good luck with your goal!

I didn't move the files to the mSD... I always use a fast mSD card reader with my old 256GB mSD in and has USBA + USBC, I just put the USB-C directly in Switch to install games and just having the titles folder with over 4000 files makes every file explorer to freeze or crash from the huge amount of files for it to handle.

I could manually move them from the PC to the Switch mSD but I don't want my atmosphere\contents folder having almost 2000 folders...

I'm rather looking for some kind of cheat management where I can have just the ~3MB full cheat compilation in ".zip" and then simply use the app from switch to manually extract and move the cheats automatically to the contents folder and having the ability to chose to extract only the cheats I want.

Exactly like Tinfoil does.

Switch AIO install single cheat code is exactly what I want to but want it working offline reading from the ".zip" file instead of having to connect to internet:wink:

Ok I see now, yea that would be esp helpful with no internet, or low storage on switch. Ok good luck, have fun, and game on! :grog:

Yep, I ended up connecting to wifi for the 1st time just to see how AIO Switch updater works, but don't plan to really use wifi...

The other reason is not really about low space but really just wanting all cheat collection in a very tiny "zip" but without ever having the thousands of files and folders complete spam in the contents folder and some games also have a spam of cheats that having the ability to chose just the ones you want is a must.

ps: Guess I will eventually make a tinfoil account and go piss them off too:toot:

Sounds like the cheats are activated auto and they are crashing game. Need to edit the System.ini file to turn off auto cheats enabled, in Atmosphere Config folder.
No, not the game, the game isn't crashing, i can use cheats just fine in the games, but the APP itself crashes when i try to DOWNLOAD / UPDATE cheats via the APP, the "AIO updater". IT crashes, the APP!

I already did that, cheats arent active by default
Post automatically merged:

I do have latest system, hekate, atmosphere... i did that just few days ago.
Also i never used AIO updater prior to update, so i don't know if it worked before or not (on my system at elast).

What are those patches? I just updated latest atmos...
Post automatically merged:

Wll, the AIO still crashes when i try to update cheats though....

Try deleting all the cheats since you have probably almost 2000 folders and more than 4000 files in cheats...

At least if I open just the full cheats extracted folder via USB-C otg all file explorers crash just from the good amount of files.

Might help the app to not crash, but no idea... After you sort it up with AIO you can download cheats for the games you have installed only without having the huge spam full cheats pack...

What is the difference between all these files that AIO updater cheats db has here:
https://github.com/HamletDuFromage/switch-cheats-db/releases

contents.zip
contents_60fps-res-gfx.zip
contents_complete.zip
titles.zip
titles_60fps-res-gfx.zip
titles_complete.zip

I'm confused which one should I get that has all the cheats bundled ?
Titles is for SXOS. Contents is for Atmosphere (that’s the location on your SDCard where cheats go for each of the respective CFWs). These are probably just regular cheats.

60fps versions are just faster refresh rate hacks.

I’m guessing that complete is a combo of both regular cheats AND 60fps cheats?
