Convert Code Breaker Cheats to PNACH Files!

[sabin1981]

Hey guys! Sorry to resurrect a dying thread .. but I figured it would be better to use this one than to create another and possibly irk people. Anyway, I want to add two cheats for my PAL copy of FFX - just Blitzball ones as it had so much potential, yet turned out to be a broken mess and I can't stand it. These are the AR-Max codes I've got and I'm trying to convert to RAW for use in the .pnach file;

#
Blitzball Codes
JGVZ-XJ7Z-PHUA9

#
Always Win Blitzball
PQQP-W2DR-199VV
1Q1D-UHBJ-24MFG
ZGKA-VQ3A-K4FP9
5PTJ-5770-CYFYV

I used MaxConvert 0.71, added the first code and chose AR-Max in the first column and RAW in the second, but I get an error message.

"INPUT ERROR: cannot convert directory codes, code #1"

So I move onto the "Always win Blitzball" codes, copy all four lines and click CONVERT .. and I only get THREE lines on the RAW side, which are these;

0031AB0E 00000063
0031AB71 00000063
0031AB0F 00000000

If I try and convert line-by-line, I get the same "directory" error. It only works if I add all four lines and convert at once .. but, as shown, I only get three RAW codes in return.

Here is my .pnach file right now, can someone please please please check the AR-Max codes and see if my conversion is right ... and if it isn't, please convert them into RAW for me? Pretty please?

=Edit=

Nevermind, it seems it DOES work anyway ... as when you score a goal, you get 99 of them, lol. I don't have any qualms about cheating at Blitzball because the game is goddamn awful. It had so much potential, but was ruined by the rubbish statistics, nonsense AI and ridiculously impossible odds stacked against you.

Screw you Blitzball. I'll take my 99 goals, thanks.

Is this working on PCSX2 0.9.5
If it is could you tell me what am i doing wrong?The codes I'm using are already RAW so i didn't have to convert them.

Here is my Code :

gametitle=Yu-Gi-Oh Gx the Beginning of Destiny [SLUS 21683] (U)
comment=Patch by Guyver81(not the real1 prolly,but i just randomly wrote this 1,and i don't have this part in my comment)
//Master Code
patch=1,EE,90112118,word,0C0447E
//Max/Inf DP
patch=1,EE,2035CAAC,word,3B9AC9F

Every time i save this and try to run the game it crashes me(pcsx2svn377.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.)

You have to first convert these codes using CBcrypt http://www.ckemu.com/public/CB2crypt-v1_11.rar
If your CodeBreaker Disc Version from the website does not match your owned disc version then it will not work and will give you error.

Also some cheats do not work properly so you should try them one by one.

[Raidom]

Yeah I've converted them using CBcrypt,but I'm not sure about the version though,they didn't post it :/

[redlofredlof]

Whose version are you talking about Cbcrypt or the game?

[Raidom]

The game's ver...,they didn't post it on that forum where i found the codes (gamefaq,can post the link if you want),so i can't check if it fits mine or not.

[redlofredlof]

Read the first post of this thread. There is enough information available on it.

[isamu]

Are there any plans for full blown code breaker support, without the need for a coverter, etc? Where we can just put in the CB code as it is and it will work?

*NOTHING more needs to be said*

[redlofredlof]

AFAIK there are none. sometimes it so happens that all the codes may not work for a particular game and hence lead to an emulator crash.
also codes are released for region specific games for eg. there maybe codes available for US version AKA NTSC but not for PAL version of the same game.
codes for NTSC games don't work for PAL and vice versa.

First of all wrong thread.
You have to select the Linuzappz ISO plugin in pcsx2 config and select the ISO in the plugin config.
You don't need to load the ISO with Daemon.

[ferzan]

ok thnx. it worked

[ferzan]

help, guys i did everything u said. The identification system is right and i named my file the crc.pnach but it isnt workin. im playing kingdom hearts and i want to use the infinite health cheat and i followed it. Although, when i play pcsx2, it isnt mounted with daemon tools. do i have to keep it mounted for it to work because when i tryed playing with it was mounted it said error cdvd plugin and i save it to the patches folder right as crc.pnach please help

[redlofredlof]

you do not have to keep it mounted. use Linuzappz ISO plugin. Read the tutorial on the first page carefully and then try.
post your converted codes

[ferzan]

ok here it is.

[redlofredlof]

can you post the raw code too.
also there is a small check box at the middle bottom of CBcrypt which has to be checked in order to get the codes right.

[ferzan]

o ok and what is the box called. is it use common v7 encription because i wasnt checked so should i check it

original code- 0AB64929 000000FF

[redlofredlof]

yes that's it. I could not remember the name, otherwise I would have said it.
Also if a raw code is more than one line then you will have to put the complete code in CBcrypt and then convert it.

[ferzan]

i even checked the box but it still doesnt work. also i clicked decrypt not encrypt

my new code

gametitle=Kingdom Hearts [SLUS 20370] (U) [0F6b6315]
