A little explanation about code conversion.

The codes that start by 0,1,2 can be translated using

example code
0114133c 00000001
to
patch=1,EE,0114133c,byte,00000001

example code
1114133c 00000001
to
patch=1,EE,0114133c,short,00000001

example code
2114133c 00000001
to
patch=1,EE,0114133c,word,00000001

that's because the codes that start by 0,1,2 are writting in memory, and the difference betwen them is the data size written.

Because in the PS2 the memory accessed in address 0xxxxxxx and 2xxxxxxx it's the same, someone misunderstood the difference between codes that start by 0 and 2 thinking a direct translation applies

patch=1,EE,0114133c,word,00000001
patch=1,EE,2114133c,word,00000001

the above line do the samething, but only because data in 0114133c and 2114133c it's the same

but

patch=1,EE,1114133c,word,00000001

has no sense because memory addressed by 1xxxxxxx should be not written.


There is a way to use almost anycode

example code
4079757B 00C00001
63636363 00000000

to 

patch=1,EE,4079757B,extended,00C00001
patch=1,EE,63636363,extended,00000000

take in consideration "order matters"

Alright guys, I'm getting really frustrated with this and have had no success whatsoever in getting my codes to work. No websites so far have any FFX-International codes and the codes I managed to find don't seem to work even after converting them via CB Decrypter 1.12. I have these codes which I am dying to have working:

Al Bhed Dialogue Translated
2031CE60 FFFFFFFF

Gil Max
2031CE98 3B9AC9FF

Sphere Level won't decrease when moving on the Sphere Board
D01BE6CC 00001823
001BE6CE 00000060
* level will decrease while moving, but will recover when you stop

All Items
A01BF9F8 0806F33E
* need to purchase each item at least once

All Important Items (No Clouded Mirror)
2031D5DC FFFFFFFF
2031D5E0 000FFFFB
2031D5DC FFFFFFFB

All Important Items (No Seven Day Mirror)
2031D5DC FFFFFFFF
2031D5E0 000FFFFB
2031D5DC FFFFFFF7

All Characters S.Lv 99
101BE652 0000A206

If anyone can help me then it would be highly appreciated.

thank you

btw, are those codebreaker codes? What i'm particularly confused about is what kind of codes do we need to input into the pnach files? codebreaker codes, raw codes, action replay codes, gamshark codes or arm2 codes? Furthermore, how do I identify which code is which?

Try the method in post no.222, but I doubt that they will work as I personally have not tested it. If you try to use the tutorial given in first page then the code will not work at all, since codebreaker/codetwink code are no longer compatible with pcsx2 using cbcrypt's common v7 conversion

Searching for working pnach that removes two of the three characters from in-battle party, so I can play a real SOLO-challange. Without having to flee with two of the characters each battle...

Please help me with this, been trying for hours.

Best regards Kubo_Silver.

lol i only have enable codes that begins with an 9 of an F

[kurtskyg]

in your example in the first page

comment=Patch by Author of Codes (replace with the name of the CodeBreaker who made the cheats.)
//Master Code

how do i know what to put in gametitle for my game?
gametitle=Makai Kingdom [SLUS 21170] (U) [121AFAF5]

i followed the tutorial in the first page but they dont work as you said
any luck getting cb codes 7+ to work with pcsx2?

[kurtskyg]

whati f my cheats all start with 9s and F's?
I cant use them?

[kurtskyg]

patch=1,EE,003fe78a,word,00000002

so is it a rule i am suppose to always use patch=1,EE,"code",word,"code" format?

also some of my decrypted codes started with 2 and i didnt change them, but they worked.weird.

[redlofredlof]

what is your problem then?

[kurtskyg]

tried the guides but i cant get cheats to work
saves work though.

[redlofredlof]

what is the error that you get?
try only one code at a time.
Don't forget to enable pnaches in pcsx2.
Also rename the file as 086273d2.pnach

[@ruantec]

ok i have a small question and hope someone can help me out with that..... i´ve made my patch file for FFX US version and everything worked fine yesterday... today i added few more codes and started the game again... after few nice scenes from tidus and yuna i went further in the game but this time every time i have to fight the game freeze. i tried to change everything and even deactivated the cheats and choosed a previous safe file eventhough the game still freeze on every single battle.

i used a older memorycard and i could play the game again but when i try to add a single cheat code to the patch file the game freeze when a battle starts no matter what i do. another problem i got is that after i rebooted my pc every single sound plugin fail and so i have no sound.

men am starting to feel like a noob lol. one thing i have to admit tho... PCSX2 has never worked correctly or stable on my pc.

btw i was toying a bit with the codes and pcsx2 to make a tool that will finally make the cheat creation a lot easier for everyone.

first of all don't use save states if you are currently using them.
Secondly, did you save previously with the pnatch ON. If so then the game got saved with the cheat turned ON, this will cause a problem later in the game (in your case, it already happened).
You can try to turn off the pnach and save at a point previous to the part where the game got stuck. I haven't played FFX before so I don't know how the save feature works in that game.
About the sound plugin, try to delete the INI file of the sound plugin.
I never got any problem of this sort with any pnach file. The only errors that I used to get were vtlb miss errors while making the pnaches.

And its good to hear about the tool that you are working on, keep it up.

seems so.. anyways i´ve found a better way to create pnaches and as i posted in my last am developing few classes that are part of @ES... since am going to need a while to complete @ES i decided to use those classes and write a small tool that will finally free people from there misery and finally be able to add cheats directly from the code pages without the need of a external tool in order to decryp there codes(not to mention add comments and pnaches structures).

atm the Codebreaker class for decryption and encryption is done.. the Action replay is almost done and am also reading some information about raw codes etc. last but not least i´ve completed a class for @ES that is able to retrieve id´s, game title and CRC codes from PSX, PS2, Gamecube, Wii and Dreamcast which i´ll use to fill the required information in the pnach file.

in the following pic you will see the class in action.... the gui is not complete yet so am mostly using it for tests.


...............................oh and hey redlofredlof nice tutorial but my class already changes the values of 1 or 2 if the decrypted code starts with it

Its good to hear that your program already changes the values of 1 and 2 to 0. You might as well try to convert the codes using byte short and extended.
I have a proper guide at pcsx2 forums.
Since using word all the time does not work, we may have to use other methods. Although it has always worked for me, some users have found it difficult to make it work by using "word".
