Download (see `assets` below), and unzip openrct2_switch.zip and copy the contents over to the `/switch/` folder on your sd card, so that you have a folder `/switch/openrct2` with many folders and files inside.

Thanks to Milenko for testing and making screenshots.
Thanks to devkitPro for making Switch homebrew possible. Thanks to Chris Sawyer for writing the amazing original game. Ooh - or maybe greater use of icons within the cheats window? That would give another way to visually distinguish things, helping to mitigate the added complexity.Thanks to the many many developers who worked on this open source game. A lot of the downside to adding more things to the cheats window is that everything there looks the same - that's part of what makes it hard to find things.
Just a subtle difference like different color or different border around the button, something like that. Maybe there could also be some subtle way to visually distinguish the various buttons on the cheats window between ones that directly commit actions (like 'Fix Vandalism') and ones that open another window (like 'Park parameters'). Though a lot of the stuff that's been put on the menu in order to make it faster to access has shortcut keys assignable now, which is an even faster way to access it. Maybe people have gotten too accustomed to it to give it up. Maybe that could eventually be expanded into phasing out the cheats menu entirely? I don't know. (Though the duplicated 'Park parameters' with a different name in each place is already way more confusing.) Could cause some slight confusion in newbies as to why things are duplicated.More buttons and do-dads on the cheats widow.On a completely different menu, as it turns out. Because, I mean, it should obviously be one of the ride cheats, right? It only affects rides! But where is it?. I've actually wasted time before looking through the long list of checkboxes in that tab looking for the one that disables support limits, only to come up missing it. 'Disable support limits' is the most egregious example - its absence from the ride cheats tab is awfully conspicuous. Some of the cheats menu items really deserve to be organized in with the cheats window items.Sometimes when I'm trying to open the cheats menu, I accidentally open the cheats window instead anyway.I find that a few normal clicks (for cheat window -> tab I want -> option I want) is easier than the click->hold->drag to right position->release of selecting an item from the menu.All the cheats will be in one place, making it easier to tell newbies where to find cheats and easier for newbies to explore the available cheats on their own.(And while we're at it, rename the 'Cheats' menu item on the cheats menu to 'All Cheats', which will help newbies figure it out if they happen to discover the menu before the window.) (They should all definitely have the same name in both places.) 'Scenario options' is already duplicated, available on both, although - confusingly - it has a different name in the cheats window: 'Park parameters'. I'd really like to see all the options from the cheats menu duplicated in the cheats window.
