Homebrew Question Quick problem with Edizon

[vgplayer54]

Hello,
I am trying to use cheat files with Edizon for the first time but I appear to be having some difficulty. I placed my cheat file (Pokemon Shield 1.3.1) file in the Sd\Atmosphere\contents\01008db008c2c000\cheats\dbddd13845acd2bd.txt and, since placing that file there, I cannot boot into the game. It just hangs at the Nintendo Switch screen after selecting the game. When I remove the title id folder, I am then once again able to boot the game but with no cheats... No clue what is happening.

I have the most up to date Atmosphere and the snapshot version of edizon, latest 11.0.1 firmware

Thanks but isn't this just to get the cheats downloaded to the SD Card? They don't work if I can't launch the game itself

Maybe setup your config so cheats don't auto-load and try to enable in-game

Thanks for the advice but unfortunately, as I said, I cannot even boot into the game to see if the cheats are enabled or disabled at all

I'm wondering if perhaps I didn't set up Edizon correctly? I downloaded the latest version from https://github.com/WerWolv/EdiZon/releases and brought the edizon.nro file into SD Root\Switch and can load it successfully when the default folders are inside SD Root\Atmosphere\contents\ but, as soon as I move my game's TitleID folder in there, game over. Game doesn't load. Did I miss a step? Is there something I have to do with the ovlEdiZon.ovl file?\

Note: I've also noticed that, in the SD Card\Atmosphere\contents\ folder, there are a few titleID folders in there which extracted with atmosphere, inside each is an "exefs.nsp" file. Are these necessary? Should I try deleting them?

Edit: Nevermind, thanks to the assistance of WerWolv, I managed to get it going. You can close this thread.

its gonna load the proper file for the proper tittle

if the cheat file doesn't match the title_id it crashes the game

it's worth a try, trust me I've had the same problem

I should've elaborated what I meant. Look at the EdiZon github page here: https://github.com/WerWolv/EdiZon

"For the best experience, open the /atmosphere/system_settings.ini file and change dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x1 to dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0."

In new versions of atmosphere, you need to copy that file from the config_templates folder to the config folder.

This line right here is what fixed it for me
