Homebrew RELEASE Switch Cheats Updater - Update your cheat files from your Switch

[slaphappygamer]

Yeah but you shouldn't have to do that, the cheats should be extracted by the program... The point being that it only extracts the cheats corresponding to your games, not all the cheats for the entire library. If you do it manually, there's no point in using my app. It's hard to troubleshoot because I don't have sxos. When you first used the app, it didn't extract them to /sxos/titles?

ok no worry.
no, the titles.zip was downloaded to E://switch/titles.zip. i didnt have the sxos/titles directory. i had to create it, then extract the titles.zip to it

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

I love matias3ds's cheat pack so much but I hate how cluttered it makes my titles folder look (I can't be arsed to sort through 500+ titleids for games i have) so I dumped them into my sx install folder rather than atmosphere.

The other part is maintaining cheats are also a pain as well. This is perfect.

Ahhhh. Ok I got it. I thought titles existed by default. Because it didn't exist, my app couldn't extract the cheats there. Give me 5 minutes to push a new release. Then you should delete your titles folder and use the updated app

EDIT: it's up!

If you have atmosphere and sxos on your sd card will it install to both? And if you dont install games only play XCI's from sd or usb will it still know what cheats to install?

It will install the cheats for the cfw that you're currently running. As for XCIs, I'm not sure, I don't think it would but one way to know for sure would be to try it out. Depends on how libnx's ncmContentMetaDatabaseListApplication function works

When i get home i will check, if it works as seeing a save file for the game,it would work.

If the game is on your HOS menu, then that is what will get cheats.

The download code looks familiar

Yup, half of it is straight up yours. I thought you had just copied a libcurl example yourself but upon further inspection I don't think it's the case. I've credited you in the readme, let me know if I should do something else.

Great! I'll add this later on, much easier. Thank you @Homlet

It will only download for the games you actually have and not all of them.

it looks like it downloads a zip containing all cheats though

Well yeah it does, and then extracts what you need. Downloading a 1.5Mb file isn't an issue imo, but having thousands of files in your atmosphere/contents directory is more annoying

Is it possible to delete all cheats at once?
I wish atmosphere had a Cheats folder and not pretty much everything in /contents...

That's actually a feature I could implement. Not sure about what would be best between only deleting the cheats folders or the entire contents folders for each title.

What you could also do is backup your /atmosphere/contents directory and restore it when needed

EDIT : @1basti1 It's up!

 

[LightBeam]

Tested it, it's so damn great. The updated included in Edizon is not great, idk why I never have all the cheats I want, but this time it's working as it should be. Great work

Dont think you would want the whlew title folder deleted, some of us have game mods in there.

yeah I figured. With the latest update you can know delete the contents of cheats/

 

[justencase6]

And no it dont install the cheats for XCI's . It only shows i have 3 games installed.so it dont work for me

Not true, i have many games in my menu that i have played. All are strait XCI files with updates in one. And it will not find them.

Ooh you're actually right. I used Kirby and Splatoon to check but the cheats in there are actually older. I also ran the app while on atmosphere, not sure if that has an effect.

I ran it with sxos and changed the name of my title folder to see what it would install.i dont dont installing my games. With multable sd cards and usb drive backup the card get crupted quite offten. Wander if there is another way to impliment the updateds. Or just add the option to update the whole folder. For us that use XCI's
