Games cheats

For cheats management, EdiZon is recommended. It has support for Atmosphere's cheat engine, providing an easy way to download new cheats, as well as toggle them on or off.

 

Instructions

Atmosphere looks for cheats to load in the contents sub-folder of the atmosphere folder. The template it looks for is sd:/atmosphere/contents/<title_id>/cheats/<build_id>.txt. You need to create the <title_id> folder and sub-folders manually:

  • title_id being the title or program of a game. This is game specific.
  • build_id being the version of a game. Cheats can be version specific so make sure the cheats you are using are compatible with your version.

Note: On Atmosphere 0.9.4 and below contents is called titles.

Switch game title IDs and build IDs can be found using the cheat menu of EdiZon (TID and BID, see below for a sample). Once the title is launched while in Atmosphere, your cheats should be applied.

Preventing cheats from being active

To prevent cheats from being enabled by default, you can change your atmosphere configuration:

  • Copy system_settings.ini from /atmosphere/config_templates to /atmosphere/config if it is not already there.
  • Edit the line ; dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x1 to dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0. Make sure to remove the space and the semicolon " ;"

By default, holding the L button while launching a game will disable any cheat.
