Hi all, I was hoping someone could help me understand how to use cheats. I've been running atmosphere for a couple years, but never got into cheats or homebrew. Recently I installed checkpoint to manage save files on Xenoblade2 and noticed that checkpoint has the ability to add cheats.

So while in checkpoint, I press the right-joycon and added the cheats. I got a message that a folder was created and the cheat file was saved, but when I go into the game, the cheats don't appear to be active (I added them all for XC2).

I tried to figure out if there is some special way to activate them and the only thing I found was that some games you need to hold the "L" button down while launching it. I did do that and still the cheats are not applied into my game when I choose to continue.

Is there something else that I need to do in atmosphere? Do the cheats only apply if I select to play a new game instead of continuing my old game? Are the cheats available to all users on my swtich?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Pressing L while launching game deactivates mods and cheats...

Use Edizon-SE or Edizon Overlay. Checkpoint may saved your cheats, but they need to be activated.
