Playstation Emulator Cheater Setup guide.

This Guide will help you install and setup the Playstation Emulator Cheater plugin for your chosen Emulator.

Firstly, you will require pecsetup.exe, which you can get from
PecSetup.exe

Secondly, you will need an Emulator which follows the PSEmu Pro Plugin spec, or an emulator such as Bleem or VGS.

For PSEmu Pro Based Emulators,
like ePSXe, PCSX, PSXeven an SSSPSX, you will be required to specify the location of the emulators plugins directory during the installation of PEC.

Simply navigate to where you installed the emulator of choice, and select the plugins folder within. Clicking next will then install the PEC Interface to Where ever you decided, and the PEC Plugin required to use PEC.

When the installation finishes, start the Chosen emulator and open the Video/Graphics Options, then select the Item named PSX Emulation Cheater 2.5.

Once this is done, click the Configure button to open the Settings for the PEC Plugin, and in the drop down list shown on the Gpu Plugin tab, select which video plugin you wish to use.

On the Refresh Rate tab, specify how many times you want the code to be refreshed. This setting is System dependant and should be set lower if you have a slower CPU.

Hit ok on all the open Windows to confirm these settings, then launch PEC.
For PEC to work correctly with the Plugin, you must set the interface type to Plugin, by Clicking the Options menu, clicking Interface Type, and then Selecting Plugin. A shortcut is to press CTRL+SHIFT+P.

You can now select cheats in PEC, and send them over to the plugin.

For Bleam and VGS

Dump PSX Memory - Dumps the Current memory to a file.

TroubleShooting
The cheats don't work! - This means the codes are not meant for the version of the game you have, or they have not been sent to the plugin yet. An updated codelist is always available from PEC - Codelist
I can't install PEC - Make sure you have full administration rights, it might also help to install PEC under one of the compatibility modes, especially so if Vista is the operating system in Use.

it's a very detail guide.I think this should be marked as Sticky in this section.I was also confused when using PEC at the first time.So much nostalgic.At that time I even couldn't figure out what's the difference between PEC for VGS and PEC for Epsxe.

And I think you should attach a link to the msvbvm50.dll for those who using Vista.

in epsxe/plugins there should be a file named gpupec.dll, if this is not present then you have not specified the correct folder during setup.

DEP shouldn't have any bearing on PEC working.
infact, i found that some programs that modify memory, fail to work if they are added to the ignore list.

One such program is the w3l acid loader, which would just throw up a memory location error when in the ignore list.
