Cheats

Cheats can be placed in the two manners:

Method 1:

  • Right click on "Open mod directory"
  • Create a file called cheat_mycheat.txt (the file must start with cheat_ to be recognized as one)
  • Write the cheat into said text file
  • Done

This method doesn't account for build IDs, so any cheats for previous builds will not be automatically filtered out.

Method 2:

  • Right click on "Open mod directory"
  • Create a folder called My cheat
  • Inside said folder create another one: cheats
  • Then inside said folder create a file with the build ID in hexadecimal, lowercase, for example 1234FBCDE0000000.txt
  • Write the cheat into said text file
  • Done

To delete a cheat simply do the process backwards (delete the folder/file).

Savefiles

The method to access save data is simple:

  • Right click on "Open save directory"

Maintaining a library

ZFS

One of the best ways to keep a gallery of archives is using a ZFS pool compressed with zstd.

sudo zfs create zroot/switch`
sudo zfs set compression=zstd zroot/switch

A new ZFS dataset will then be available on /zroot/switch. From which then can be added as a normal game directory. Remember to ensure proper permissions with chmod 755 /zroot/switch/*.
