Prerequisites
Uninstall hbg shop if you are using it, Tinfoil without hbg shop is fine. It can interfere with controls in EdiZon and may cause other issues. I recommend creating save backups with JKSV, currently the only known working save backup system for Animal Crossing right now.

Required installs

1. Install JKSV for creating save backups: https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSV/releases
2. Install EdiZon: https://github.com/WerWolv/EdiZon/releases/
3. Install nxovllader: https://github.com/WerWolv/nx-ovlloader/releases
4. Install Tesla menu: https://github.com/WerWolv/Tesla-Menu/releases/
5. Install the EdiZon Overlay: http://werwolv.net/downloads/EdiZonOverlay.zip

Settings
Go to atmosphere > config_templates > system_settings.ini and change dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x1 to dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0

Optional for changing overlay controls: Create a file called config.ini in the /config/tesla folder. Then paste the following text in there replacing <COMBO> with your desired button combination, for example L + DDOWN + RS In this case, pressing L, D-Pad Down and the right stick will open the Tesla menu. Possible key names are: A, B, X, Y, DLEFT, DRIGHT, DUP, DDOWN, LS, RS, MINUS, PLUS, SL, SR, L, R, ZL, ZR Separate different keys that should be help simultaneously with a plus ( + ) sign.

Add cheats

1. Extract the .rar and drag it into the atmosphere/contents folder.
2. Open folder and edit the text file to include cheats you want to use (or do so before dragging it.)
3. Make sure your build ID matches up to your current version by checking the text file name.

Reboot into payload after changing settings and installing homebrew software. Don't forget to back up your file on JKSV in device saves before cheating for the first time! Also, try not to use too many cheats, it can cause crashing and other issues.

Toggle and see cheats in-game
Hold L (bumper/trigger area), down on D-pad and click in your right joystick to see the overlay (default controls.)

Check last pages or first post for the latest information on large threads, make sure the cheats were made for your build ID!

I hope there will be a hacked version for sx os

 

[Kaizerfreak]

Thank you for the guide! A quick question, for the system_settings.ini file, the one I have has all the lines with semicolons at the start. Should those be removed? Pasting the relevant section

[atmosphere]
; Reboot from fatal automatically after some number of milliseconds.
; If field is not present or 0, fatal will wait indefinitely for user input.
; fatal_auto_reboot_interval = u64!0x0
; Make the power menu's "reboot" button reboot to payload.
; Set to "normal" for normal reboot, "rcm" for rcm reboot.
; power_menu_reboot_function = str!payload
; Controls whether dmnt cheats should be toggled on or off by
; default. 1 = toggled on by default, 0 = toggled off by default.
; dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0
; Controls whether dmnt should always save cheat toggle state
; for restoration on new game launch. 1 = always save toggles,
; 0 = only save toggles if toggle file exists.
; dmnt_always_save_cheat_toggles = u8!0x0

yes, just remove the semicolon in front of the one line
dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0

and system_settings.ini should be in atmosphere\config\

 

[Kaizerfreak]

My file was under /config_templates/. So I copy that over to /config/?
Also, when I tried pulling up the overlay, there's a side window that pops up on the left, but there's no cheats and it says "no overlay found"?
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I was missing a file. Trying it again!

yes, copy the file to \config\

as for the overlay stuff, for Edizon, make sure you download the EdizonOverlay zip file and put or make sure ovlEdiZon.ovl is in \switch\.overlays\

Yup, thanks! As a side note, I was turning on some of the other config options but it was causing my switch to not start up properly. I think it was these:
upload_enabled = u8!0x0
fatal_auto_reboot_interval = u64!0x0
power_menu_reboot_function = str!payload
dmnt_always_save_cheat_toggles = u8!0x0
Do you know which one could've caused it?

Also, since there's no config file there by default, what settings is Atmosphere using in the first place?

Atmosphere has built-in defaults, so you only need the built-in defaults. In this case, you are overriding one of the defaults by using system_settings.ini and only removing the semicolon from dmnt_always_save_cheat_toggles = u8!0x0

Okay. And that would cause Atmosphere to not load correctly?

Not sure what you mean by that. Cheats work fine on SXOS, much less work even. Just drop the txt file in and it all works.

 

[forumuser599]

no, it's because you removed the semicolons from the other spots, which were overriding the working values

don't remove any semicolons except that one and you are fine

Okay, thanks.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Going back to the Animal Crossing cheats, what's the difference between the item slot codes in each of these files?
https://pastebin.com/raw/B8N5KKsh
https://pastebin.com/raw/BY2Cp22a
Could I just use the hex codes from the first url and put them in the various item slot codes in the second? Mainly going to use for clothing and furniture. Also, is there a sort of text editor homebrew to edit the cheats? I don't want to have to go edit the cheat file on my computer every time I want different items.

Not much of a difference, I've been using the second set of codes to put random items in my first 20 slots. Here are some random codes I found somewhere else for the first 20 slots. I forgot who they belong to but thank you to whoever made these!

Make sure there is nothing in your inventory before use. If anything is in the first 20 slots, it will be gone or overwritten by whatever item you put in the code.

04100000 AC3B90C0 0000xxxx <--- for the item itself, make sure to put a 0 in front if there are only three characters, like 0aaa.
04100000 AC3B90C4 000000xx <--- for the stack amount, some materials can stack up to 50, 30, 10, etc. 00 = 1 item, 09 = 10 items, 1d = 30 items. You can use this to get the stack number you want, just make sure to subtract by one. If you want 30 items for example, then enter 29 into the decimal to hexadecimal converter. Note: only certain things can stack like material. Most material stacks up to 30 but some stacks up to 10 only such as cherry-blossom petals, fruit, bamboo spouts, star fragments, etc.

[Example code - 10 stack of maple leaf]
04100000 AC3B90C0 00001cce
04100000 AC3B90C4 00000009

[Example code - 30 stack of bamboo piece]

When I launch animal crossing it doesn't let me pick an overlay. I press the button config but it shows no overlays. I made sure to move the files in the correct spots but it doesn't work. Not sure what to do.

Edit: Got it working.

 

[ReoL98]

I cant connect to my OFW switches, always comes up with error. Anyone know why?

You need to remove Edizon cheats entirely in order to visit other islands / have people visit you. Turning them off isn't good enough. You can always readd them after your visits.

 

[MochiW]

i have this cheat
https://pastebin.com/raw/BY2Cp22a

speed up and mile and money works
however I am not able to make the items working

I am at 30 slots right now but all the items code doesn't work for me
I am on SXOS
Can anyone guide me. Thank you

 

[devilmax71]

Not sure what you mean by that. Cheats work fine on SXOS, much less work even. Just drop the txt file in and it all works.

Did we need to have edizon with the other hoembrews ?

 

[lRodrik]

I have the 1.0.0 version of the game ... keep crashing when cheats got activated.

Change your text file name to 7FC1BAFF976AECA4.txt if it isn't.
