More info at How 2 play (this will probably move to the wiki at some point)

Requirements

• lovely-injector v0.9.0 (latest to this day). Any previous version will mostly crash at startup.
• Steamodded 26.829.0. Without Steamodded, you will get a warning like this

Install

This mod has primarily been developed and tested on Windows. Android and Nintendo Switch are also supported (see below). iOS support is technically possible (see also below)

Also this mod was developed for the 1.0.X version of the game, meaning it will break when an official major update drops (will need some adjustments).

Before starting, i suggest to make a backup of your current save file just in case. You can find your saves in your computer at %AppData%/Balatro with folder 1 to 3 being the profiles and the settings.jkr file being the current game settings (steam_autocloud.vdf is probably some steam related stuff, i think it can be ignored). Copy those somewhere to backup if needed for some reason

Windows

This mod runs with lovely-injector v0.9.0:

• Start by installing lovely-injector following the manual installation (the first two steps)

• Grab and extract latest release

• In the Release folder, copy the balatro-vs folder to lovely mod folder Step 3 of lovely manual installation. If this is the first time you are doing this, then create the folder Mods at %AppData%/Balatro

• Copy the winmm.dll file to your balatro game folder

[!IMPORTANT]

Respect the mod architecture.

winmm.dll file goes to your balatro game folder (something like.../Steam/steamapps/common/Balatro).

balatro-vs folder goes to lovely Mods folder at %AppData%/Balatro/Mods.

The mod won't work if not

• Launch the game and confirm that lovely console opened and a versus button is present at the main screen

• Enjoy! Do not hesitate to open an issue if you encounter a bug or something isn't working

A build is a windows build, you can follow the same steps as above

[!IMPORTANT]

If you installed the mod, the auto-updater is disabled. Updates must be applied through your mod manager.

Android

[!IMPORTANT]

Android support requires a Steam version of Balatro. You need to build the Android version of the game using LMM (Lovely Mobile Maker).

• Follow the LMM instructions to build the Android version of your Steam copy of Balatro and install the APK on your device
• Launch the LMM app at least once so it creates the external storage folder used by the mod
• Grab the latest release zip ending in -android from the releases page
• Extract the contents of the -android zip into the external storage folder created by the LMM app on your device into the mods folder (the path on your device need to be Balatro/ASET/Mods/balatro-vs)
• Launch the game and confirm that a versus button is present at the main screen

Nintendo Switch

[!IMPORTANT]

Requires a modded console running Atmosphère and the Switch version of Balatro (tested on 1.1.3, on the switch firmware 22.5.0). Use at your own risk.

On the console the mod is a skyline plugin. It runs next to lovely-injector-nx, which brings lovely and Steamodded to the Switch and hands the game to the mod.

• Install lovely-injector-nx following its README
• Grab the latest release zip ending in -switch from the releases page an
