How Ryujinx Cheats Work?
Want to know how the cheats work in Ryujinx?
Let us tell you that it contains native cheats or runtime mods Support. Therefore, you can use cheat files to add cheats in Ryujinx. These files include codes for switch games.
The cheat follows the atmosphere-style cheat system, stored in .txt files. The cheats are game-specific and work with a specific version of the game.
Installing Cheats:
In this guide, you will learn how to install cheats for your games in the Ryujinx emulator.
- Download the cheats from a reliable source. EdiZon Cheats and Configs Repository is a good source.
- Once you download the cheat file, there is a folder structure like Cheat_Name\cheats\0123456789ABCDEF.txt.
- Here, 0123456789ABCDEF is the build ID of the game executable.
- The .txt file has the cheat codes for relevant game versions.
- Now, you have to locate your game’s mod directory.
- Launch the Ryujinx emulator, right-click on the game to add cheats, and select “Open Mod Directory.”
- It opens a folder path like:
- Ryujinx\mods\contents\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\ the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the unique ID of the selected game.
- You can now add the cheat files. First, extract the downloaded cheat files.
- Add the extracted cheat files in the mod directory of that specific game, keeping the folder structure:
- Ryujinx\mods\contents\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\Cheat_Name\cheats\
- After this, the emulator will recognize the cheats when you launch the game.
Activate/Deactivate Cheats
Know that the emulator does not provide an in-app toggle to activate or deactivate cheats, but you can manage them manually.
Disable Cheats:
You can prevent the cheats from loading by;
- Create a folder named disabled cheats in the game’s mod directory & move Unwanted cheats to that folder.
- As another option, rename the cheat file by adding a prefix (e.g., off_0123456789ABCDEF.txt).
Editing Cheats in a .txt File
Cheats are in the cheat folders, grouped by sections with names in square brackets. Look at the example;

78000000 0002A1C0
61000000 00000000 00000063
[Time = 999]
58000000 00C88A70
