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.

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!

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

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

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
