You will need:

CB Crypt v1.11 - Converts CodeBreaker Codes to RAW.
CodeBreaker Disc Version - Checks your game is the correct one for the codes.

Signup to the Code Breaker Site (it's free) for the codes...though I assume they are all yank cheats

Browse to the game you wish to cheat on, for this example Makai Kingdom. At the bottom of the page will be:

Advanced PS2 Identification System:
E9 32 A9 0F 13 12 33 CB D7 3E E2 85 06 A9 1E 52 D3 D6 D3 15

Use CodeBreaker Disc Version to scan your disc drive (the drive you've inserted the PS2 CD or DVD into, if you're using an ISO, mount it with Daemon Tools). It will then scan the ELF, if the two strings match, your in business, if they don't these cheats won't work for the game.

On the cheats page, click View Codes.

Open up, CB Crypt v1.11 and a blank text file.

Put in the Text file:

gametitle=Makai Kingdom [SLUS 21170] (U) [121AFAF5]
comment=Patch by Author of Codes (replace with the name of the CodeBreaker who made the cheats.)
//Master Code

Scroll down on the cheats page until you see the Enable Code entry:

9A404435 ED112A0C
2A7B314C 00000000

Past these two lines into CB Crypt (left hand side box), and click Decrypt, this will give you the following in the right handside box:

[b][COLOR="Red"]9[/COLOR][/b]0118DB8 00832021
2013AF50 00000000

If the line starts with a 9 or an F do NOT include this in your master code.

gametitle=Makai Kingdom [SLUS 21170] (U) [121AFAF5]
comment=Patch by Author of Codes (replace with the name of the CodeBreaker who made the cheats.)
//Master Code
patch=1,EE,2013AF50,word,00000000

This process can be repeated to add cheats, simply paste in the cheat on the left hand side, and decrypt and enter into the pnach file in the same format, obviously the usual method of finding CRC (for file name) is applicable.

I recommend labelling each cheat with a //comment to keep yourself organised.

Here's a larger example of a cheat pnach I created:

gametitle=Makai Kingdom [SLUS 21170] (U) [121AFAF5]
comment=Patch by Author of Codes (replace with the name of the CodeBreaker who made the cheats.)
//Master Code
patch=1,EE,2013AF50,word,00000000
//Infinite Money
patch=1,EE,002E7AD0,word,0000FFFF
//Max Money
patch=1,EE,202E7AD0,word,107A3FFF
patch=1,EE,202E7AD4,word,00005AF3
//Infinite Bonus Points (Character Creation)
patch=1,EE,202AAE18,word,0098967F
//Level 9,999 After 1 Kill
patch=1,EE,20189CA8,word,3C020001
patch=1,EE,20189CAC,word,0002103C
//Insanely Quick Exp Gain
patch=1,EE,20189CA8,word,3402270F
patch=1,EE,20189CAC,word,0002103C
//Ultra Quick Skill Exp Gain
patch=1,EE,2017F594,word,3406FFFF
//Insanely Quick Mana Gain
patch=1,EE,20189F20,word,3C0305F5

Thanks for this CKemu!!

 

[toxiccloud]

dun get it, why do we have to use ps2 disc version checker then? and how did u get the gametitle and all that....oh, also, how do we insert the patch?

 

[CKemu]

Disc checker makes sure your game matches the game the cheats where designed for, eg FFX (USA) cheats are different from FFX (EUR) cheats.

Gametitle etc, I typed in manually.

 

[Kanpai]

If all we need is raw values for the patches, couldn't this work for GS2 and ARMAX, as well? There is a converter that'll turn those codes to raw, as well.

The software i mentioned is available here as MaxConvert .71, in case anyone was interested.

 

[CKemu]

It will work for GS2 and ARMAX...this was just an example. I will note that don't convert CodeBreaker cheats with MaxConvert, as it was pulling some dodgey values.

 

[Kanpai]

I don't think MaxConvert has support for the latest Codebreaker encryption, that may be why.

 

[toxiccloud]

how do we enable them>.>?

 

[Yunchen]

put them in the patch file CRC.pnach i think...

Good one @CK well i dont cheat but this is quite useful

Edit: One for the F.A.Q. Sticky!

 

[cyclonmaster]

Wow... a cheat now. Amazing:thumb:

Memory Mapping.

If the address is in the 1xxxxxxx range simply change the leading 1 into a 0 or 2, eg: 100314BF2 would become 000314BF2 or 200314BF2 respectively. 0 and 2 memory ranges are mirrors of each other.

You find the mirrors in memory.c:
RAM
---
0x00100000-0x01ffffff this is the physical address for the ram.its cached there
0x20100000-0x21ffffff uncached
0x30100000-0x31ffffff uncached & acceleretade
0xa0000000-0xa1ffffff MIRROR might...???
0x80000000-0x81ffffff MIRROR might... ????

It makes no difference to which of these you write.

1xxxxxxx is reserved for mapping of hardware registers (GS, IPU, DMA etc.), hence the crash if information is written there.

You can port AR / GS / CB codes to raw and use them in PCSX2, it does not have to be specificly CB.

Now I know more about the whole aspect of cheating and some other work going on with PCSX2, I shall be writing a full blown guide to cheating and memory searching.

 

[KanedA]

rotfl, let the cheating fest begin

 

[niemasd]

this is so cool i made a patch for Kingdom Hearts... some codes like you said freeze PCSX2 in VM PCSX2, but i tried it in the other version and it worked

 

[Tae]

gametitle=Makai Kingdom [SLUS 21170] (U) [121AFAF5]

Where did you get this number?

 

[CKemu]

That number is the CRC for the game generated by PCSX2 to ID the games ELF file.

 

[Tae]

I'm try to do Disgaea, so will that work? And where exactly do I put he cheats? In the patch or something?

 

[Fiaasyt0]

can someone make a patch with disable fmv on final fantasy x-2 us CRC 48FE0C71.I tried but the master code has a "9" and a "F" in it.

 

[toxiccloud]

can someon make a disgea patch, just with infinate money/max money, please, mine dont seem 2 work, i have no idea wats wrong...

 

[weirdbeard]

tlbmiss errors

cputlbmiss i think it is what the hell are those errors and why am i getting them repeatedly? i tried making codebreaker pnach files for re4 and reoutbreak#2 and both did the same dang thing. anybody?

 

[agegsg]

Hmm, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with the kingdom hearts patch because I can't seem to get a few of the cheats working, such as the code that lets you have all 101 Dalmatians, have all the keys and Quick EXP Gain.

My codes for the patches are:

all the keys-
patch=1,EE,103F217A,word,00000101
patch=1,EE,403F217C,word,00030001
patch=1,EE,01010101,word,00000000
patch=1,EE,103F218C,word,00000101

101 Dalmatians-
patch=1,EE,003F3393,word,000000FF
patch=1,EE,203F3394,word,FFFFFFFF
patch=1,EE,203F3398,word,FFFFFFFF
patch=1,EE,203F339C,word,FFFFFFFF

quick exp gain-
patch=1,EE,103F1CD0,word,0000FFFF

Thanks in advance
