Patch-Making Assistance i.e. Cheat Patching

[volrathxp]

Ok so... maybe I'm doing something wrong here, I've read over and over on the guide to patch-making and converting Code-breaker cheats into patches. The one I've been looking at is Guitar Hero 2, since the memory card doesn't work I thought maybe a cheat that unlocks everything would be good as I'm testing a custom disc.

So... here is my pnach file, and the associated codes. When I try this pnach, the emulator crashes the game right off the bat, and I'm not totally sure if I'm doing anything wrong or not.

gametitle=Guitar Hero II [SLUS 21447] (U) [2A6C845B]
comment=Custom GH Patch

//Enable Code

patch=1,EE,BEEFC0DE,word,00000000
patch=1,EE,000FFFFE,word,00000263
patch=1,EE,000FFFFF,word,00000263

// Unlock Code

patch=1,EE,DB9E0D98,word,D8ACEC3A

Here is the enable code (from the codebreaker's site followed by it's decrypted value)

If someone could maybe just look at it for me, and see where I'm going wrong here, or if someone knows of a better way I can do this, please fill me in.

Thanks.

you sure all them codes are right? every single one of them memory addresses is invalid.

BEEFC0DE is usually an error location :P

That's what I was wondering myself. Here's the page from the codebreaker site.

CMGSCCC.com - The Official Code Breaker Site (http://www.cmgsccc.com/codes.php?do=view&id=5852)

And I'm using CB2Crypt 1.1, is that maybe an issue? The codes didn't look like right compared to the ones I was seeing in some of the threads I was reading yes.

Of all the cheat engines and interfaces I've used, MAME and its cheat.dat format is the best so far. Just hit Tab, move to "Cheat", set it to Advanced mode and you're there. If only [pec] was so easy to do stuff in. I credit anyone who can use it efficiently!
