ROM Hack Download All Cheats from max-cheats (Bash Shell Script)

detain · Jan 14, 2019

Here is a simple script which will parse all the regions from max-cheats loading all the pages for each one grabbing all of the cheats available. It grabs the Title ID and Build ID for each one and places the cheats files in a directory structure based on the requirements for SX OS. When I ran it earlier today it loaded 217 different cheat files for 97 titles with a total of 853 cheats.

Note: script is included as a file, couldn't inline the script due to url like content in the script with my current user privs.

In a linux shell or cygwin/mingw in windows or the linux subsystem for windows shell

If you have Windows you could try my Windows Version. I used the original script by detain. Just combined my files into one file with BoxedApp.
Well, actually I've made this just for myself but if it's help you ... fine.

::edit::
Download removed - too many false-positive warnings

I don't know why BoxedApp Packager is detected as virus. Guess I should remove the download. Sorry for trouble

strange, I have this sh.exe from an old winbash archive.
Try a search on google for WinBash or something like that (I cannot remember the real filename) and you should find it.

Hi you can create an new empty textfile and paste :

sh download_sxos_cheats.sh

Then save it as ex. Download Cheats.bat
Put your Download Cheats.bat File in the same Folder as download_sxos_cheats.sh.
When you execute your Download Cheats.bat File it will create a sxos Folder and download the latest Cheats.

The file in post 1 has an additional .txt ending which you might not see if you have file extensions hidden

Now ive got this :
bash$ sh download_sxos_cheats.sh
Nintendo Switch Cheats Downloader v1.0
download_sxos_cheats.sh: curl: command not found
0 Cheats Loaded
bash$

At least it seems like an improvement :-)

Works fine, but you guys need to rename it to .sh
do: chmod +x on the file
then run it with ./filename

I would never wish to do sudo on a sh file if I don't have too
