Question about making patches?

Dullahan22 · November 17th, 2008, 18:57

No.. This isn't a request, as I'm perfectly capable of making my own.

However, I am trying to make one for Shin Megami Tensei - Nocturne, and the Master Code is like this:

B4336FA9 4DFEFB79
9CE2A13B 030E5D96
16D85225 9E4D8F9E
AE9350F6 8E27D30F

This being the case, should I create four lines of 'patches', or maybe just two, because the 1st(maybe) and second aren't necessary. But for completion's sake, I'll add them.

To make a Shin Megami Tensei - Nocturne Patch, would it be like this?

Gametitle=Shin Megami Tensei - Nocturne (Insert CRC) (U)
Comment=Yay
//This is the master code
patch=0,EE,B4336FA9,word,4DFEFB79
patch=0,EE,9CE2A13B,word,030E5D96
patch=0,EE,16D85225,word,9E4D8F9E
patch=0,EE,AE9350F6,word,8E27D30F

And since I'm still a bit iffy about how to make this kind of document, would it be safe to copy a random patch to My Documents, delete the original, rename it to the CRC of my game, and paste this information into it?

Thanks in advance, I was wondering how to do it for a very long time. Studying some other patches, it looks fairly simple.

Well, it's look like everything is o'k. You need to create a new file with name of CRC of game and place it to patch folder. Of course, you could create new file by copying old one. But why delete old one? The number of files in patch folder is unlimited, so there is no reason to try keep it.

Dullahan22 · November 17th, 2008, 19:45

Ahh.. A fellow ruskie..

Because I'm not sure how to make the extension.

IT comes out .txt, not .patch

Wait.. I understand.. So you're saying that i could keep two? Just edit one of them??

Ahh.. Makes sense.. Thanks!

As far as i know master codes arent required for PCSX2.

:P Well there you go.. Maybe that's why it wasn't working. But is the verification code required?

Ok, do I still need to decrypt these codes?

Gametitle=Shin Megami Tensei - Nocturne [SLUS 20911] (U)
Comment=Yay

//Soma
patch=0,EE,CC835769,word,DEBADA28
//Max Money
patch=0,EE,AF80A551,word,026A6B93

For some reason, the money, nor the Soma are showing up at all.

The original code for money was

A526F867 A58818CE

But when I decrypted it, it became

AF80A551 026A6B93 which is not working.

Just make sure you have the correct CRC and the cheats are for the right region, then everything should work just fine.

Sorry I couldn't respond to your PM last night, was going to send you my FFX pnach file, but the sandman got me :P.

Dullahan22 · November 17th, 2008, 21:19

Haha.. No problem, buddy. I don't have FFX anyway. :P

And the verification matched my game, but I'm not sure I'm making this patch correctly.

Ok.. Problem I found was that I had indeed got the wrong CRC.. Thanks to Ry for reminding me to double-check.. I was off by the last letter..

However..

F7 FB AC 5F 61 36 68 91 22 C9 49 34 C4 4E 6A E2 32 7B 20 12 the verification code DOES indeed match the codebreaker requirement.

But..

Gametitle=Shin Megami Tensei - Nocturne [SLUS 20911] (U)
Comment=Yay
//Soma
patch=0,EE,CC835769,word,DEBADA28
//Max Money
patch=0,EE,AF80A551,word,026A6B93
//Muscle Drink
patch=0,EE,5F916Bc2,word,6422A936

This patch file crashes the game..

Anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Gametitle=Shin Megami Tensei-Nocturne
Comment=Blah
//Soma
patch=0,EE,CC835769,byte,DEBADA28
//Max Money
patch=0,EE,AF80A551,byte,026A6B93

Can someone tell me what the 'word' should be? I'm not finding any mention of it in CB Crypt.

Studying other patches, the word between the 2 sets of numbers is 'word', however, it's not working for me at all.

You should use "word" and not byte.
try patch=1
Also you must not use all the codes at once.
Try with one code at a time.
When using CBcrypt make sure that you keep the common V7 encryption ON, since the codes at Codebreaker are meant for PS2 and not pcsx2.
Here is a tutorial by CKemu on how to do it correctly.

I had put 'word' there, but it was not a recognized code.

Loll I'll try the patch=1.

Thanks for the link.

XD If your referring to what I told you in the PM you sent me, I meant the CODES after "word" didn't look right lol. The actual "word" part was spot on.

Sorry for the confusion >.<

No problem. But in any case, they didn't work anyway.

Either the items or money didn't show up, or the emulator crashed.

Unrecognized patch, 'word' error patchnumber '1' set type

Then it gave me this code to enter, and I had no clue how to enable that option.
