Games cheats¶
EdiZon¶
For cheats management, EdiZon and/or EdiZon-SE (up to date and offers more features) are recommended. They offer support for Atmosphere's cheat engine, providing an easy way to download new cheats, as well as toggle them on or off.
Installation requirements:¶
- An archive manager like 7-Zip
- The latest release of EdiZon (the
EdiZon.nro
file) or EdiZon-SE (theEdiZon.zip
file)
EdiZon overlay
EdiZon also offers a Tesla-Menu overlay, however, the official EdiZon overlay is no longer maintained and will result in Atmosphere crashing when trying to use the EdiZon overlay on firmware version 16.0.0+. The maintained EdiZon overlay can be found here.

Usage instructions¶
Atmosphère 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 and can be found on EdiZon's cheat menu (TID and BID, see the bottom of this page for a sample), switchbrew and nswdb.- Note: Title ID means the same thing as Program ID.
-
build_id
being the version of a game. This is game specific and can be found on EdiZon's cheat menu (BID, see the bottom of this page for a sample) Cheats can be version specific so make sure the cheats you are using are compatible with your game version.
Note: On Atmosphère 0.9.4 and below contents
is called titles
.
Once the title is launched while in Atmosphere, your cheats should be applied.
Preventing cheats from being enabled by default¶
To prevent cheats from being enabled by default, you can change your Atmosphère configuration by following the steps below.
- Copy
system_settings.ini
fromsd:/atmosphere/config_templates
tosd:/atmosphere/config
if it's not already there. -
Open the
system_settings.ini
file with a text editor and edit the line; dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x1
todmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0
.- Make sure you remove the space and the semicolon "
;
" in front ofdmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default
.
- Make sure you remove the space and the semicolon "
By default, holding the L button while launching a game will disable any game modification.
Here the Title ID of the game (TID) is 0100646009FBE000
and the Build ID of the game (BID) is 0B9A75586BC1A6C6
. Cheats are loaded from sd:/atmosphere/contents/0100646009FBE000/cheats/0B9A75586BC1A6C6.txt
in this example.

Troubleshooting¶
EdiZon isn't showing up when I open the Homebrew menu!:¶
Assuming you've followed the installation instructions successfully, this is probably due to the archive bit being set on one or more folders/files on your microSD card. This is usually the result of copying files to a microSD card via a Mac. If you are experiencing this issue, try running the archive bit fixer utility via Hekate for all files.
This can be done by booting into Hekate and going to Tools
> Arch bit • RCM Touch • Pkg1/2
> Fix Archive Bit
.
