Use this guide when you want to add cheats into a game to alter gameplay for use with the Citron emulator.

Before You Begin

This guide will will try to explain things as clearly as possible, but make some assumptions about your environment and your familiarity with the operating system. Most notably, that you are familiar with the basic operations of your PC (how to download files, how to extract them, etc.

<aside> 🚨

WARNING: These guides assume that you already have the necessary files (firmware, keys, games, etc.) to run the emulator. Neither the Citron Team nor Their Discord will assist you in obtaining these files. Asking for these files on the Discord may result in a ban from the server without support or chance to appeal.

Pre-Requisites

• Citron Emulator fully set up and configured
• The cheat(s) you want to apply
• The Build ID of the game.

<aside> ℹ️

NOTE: This guide covers the method of installing the cheats, not where to obtain them.

<aside> 💡

TIP: The easiest way I have found to find the Build ID is by Right-Clicking the game IN RYUJINX and hitting Manage Cheats. Your Build ID will be displayed at the top.

Steps

Configuring a Cheat

1. Copy the Hex Code of the cheat into a text file, optionally with the cheat name at the beginning like the example. Here this code will set the timer to 999 in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.

[Time = 999]
58000000 00C88A70
78001000 00000090
64000000 00000000 003E6F00

1. Save the file as a txt file with the Build ID of the game. For my example, my Build ID is AEE6DCCC06D9C05B so my file would be AEE6DCCC06D9C05B.txt
