Steamodded for the the Switch version of Balatro.

Steamodded is a mod loader and injector for the game Balatro. Much like the LÖVE2D engine itself, it is built using Lua. It is made with modularity and extensibility in mind, providing a large selection of APIs and other features to facilitate bringing your ideas to life.

Installation

Requirements

  • A modded switch
  • A legal copy of Balatro for the switch, with the latest update
  • A valid python install

Instructions

Step 1:

  • Download the repository as a ZIP file, and extract it somewhere safe.
  • Use your favorite NX dump tool to dump your current "update" of Balatro in NCA FS or romFS format.

Step 2:

  • Connect your SD card to your computer and go to the location where you dumped the update.
  • Copy the "Patch RomFS" folder to inside your repo extraction folder.
  • Now enter the "Patch RomFS" folder and ZIP its contents into a standard ZIP. Make sure the dumped files are at the root of the ZIP file, not NOT nested inside another folder.

Step 3:

  • Copy the ZIP file into where you extracted the repo on your computer.
  • Drag the ZIP file onto SteamoddedNX_injector.py and wait for the process to finish.
  • If you see "Process completed successfully. Press any key to exit...", then you're good to go. If not, check your ZIP file structure.
  • Extract the contents of the modded ZIP into the included \atmosphere\contents\0100CD801CE5E000\romfs directory.
  • (Optional) This step is not needed but if you would like to see exact crash errors from your mods:
    • While in your romfs folder, open globals.lua and jump to line 62 self.F_NO_ERROR_HAND =, now replace true with false

Step 4:

  • Copy your prepped atmosphere folder to your switch SD card and ensure Balatro launches and functions with the included example mods.

How to install a mod

  • Find and download a sMOD 0.9.8 compatible mod (see Limitations.)

  • Put the mod into that directory (the mod can be a single file if there is only one file provided, or it can be a whole folder.)
  • Launch the game and enjoy.

Where to find mods

Limitations

  • Lovely is not supported on the Switch, so mods that require it will NOT work.
  • Limited to mods that function on 0.9.8 version of sMOD. You may need to find an older version of a mod to use it.
  • Card suit customization introduced in version 1.0.1g (Friends of Jimbo) will not work.
