NXFixCheat is a simple Nintendo Switch homebrew utility developed by jiraiya78 that provides an easy way to toggle Atmosphere’s cheat configuration options through a graphical interface.

It eliminates the need to manually edit the system_settings.ini file and helps manage cheat settings safely and conveniently.

Features

• Toggle auto-enable cheats: Quickly enable or disable default cheat activation (dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default) in system_settings.ini.
• Toggle remember cheat state: Set whether Atmosphere should remember the last cheat toggle state (dmnt_always_save_cheat_toggles).
• Automatic backup: Backs up your current config file before applying any changes.
• Template restoration: If your config is missing, a template is automatically copied and used.
• Simple menu navigation: Navigate using your controller’s D-Pad and buttons.
• Reboot option: Optionally reboot to Homebrew Menu after applying changes.

How It Works

NXFixCheat modifies the following file on your SD card:

• sdmc:/atmosphere/config/system_settings.ini

If the file is missing, a template is copied from:

• sdmc:/switch/nxfixcheat/system_settings_template.ini

A backup of your current config is saved to:

• sdmc:/atmosphere/config/system_settings_backup.ini

Usage

1. Copy the NRO
   

Place the compiled .nro file in your sdmc:/switch/nxfixcheat/ folder.

1. (Optional) Template Config
   

Ensure system_settings_template.ini exists in sdmc:/switch/nxfixcheat/ for recovery if your config file is missing.

1. Run NXFixCheat
   

Launch the application via the Homebrew Menu.

1. Navigate the menu
   • Use ⬆️/⬇️ to move between options.
