===Cheat toggling===
The entire menu operates in the sell menu for treasures in ThiefNet. All treasure names are changed to toggleable cheats, with their prices removed. Toggling cheats is the simplest part of the code;
* The mod sets the values of each treasure to 99 upon booting the game. Every cheat is disabled by default, so it checks if the value of a treasure is 99, and then sets it to 7. (7 = Cheat disabled)
* Selling one treasure naturally decreases the treasure's amount by 1. For enabling a cheat, it then checks if the amount is 6 and sets it to 100 (100 = Cheat enabled).
* The values 7 and 100 are then used as checks for the cheat, indicating the cheat is disabled or enabled respectively
The reason for 7 and 100 being the indicators is simply because they look cool. The initial idea was to use 1 and 100 instead, but having 1 of one treasure stops displaying the amount, and decreasing the value from 1 completely removes the treasure from the list, even if the value was edited internally afterwards. The menu would then need to be reopened to see the listing again.
== Known issues ==
* Right D-Pad needs to be pressed every time the menu is opened
* The mod has way too many lines of code to work on real hardware (Has only been tested with [https://github.com/root670/CheatDevicePS2 Cheat Device])
* Attempting to open other GUIs such as the pause/gadget menu while in CheatNet causes some crazy vector glitches
== Trivia ==
* CheatNet was released as soon as [[Sly String Toolkit|sly-string-toolkit]] came out
* The [https://youtu.be/K14zPVQ5s_c original concept] was made by BloxXor in 2021
