User Handbook - Data, savefiles and storage

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/*.
