Cheating, the easy way

[Ryouhei]

i have a problem,the game is persona 4

i have found the address for the money using CE 5.6

Code:

10F1068C

and this is the .pnach looked like

Code:

//gametitle=Shin Megami Tensei - Persona 4
comment=Persona 4

//money
patch=1,EE,10F1068C,word,0000270F

but when i tried to enable it on PCSX2,the log just shows plenty of red TLB MISS,and it keeps on showing,but the game is still playable and running though

Code:

(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [store]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [load]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [store]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [load]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [store]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [load]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [store]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [load]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [store]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [load]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [store]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [load]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [store]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [load]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [store]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [load]
(EE pc:00081FC0) TLB Miss, addr=0x10f1068c [store]

proble lies here: 10F1068C,word,0000270F

fix: 00F1068C,word,0000270F

raw codes are always either 0 or 2

Umm,I may be wrong but CE will find this address only if you are using pcsx2 rev older than r4029 and that kind of conversion that you did will never work on anything older than r4029

Since r4029 any cheating program will find addresses starting only with 2 and those addresses can be uses without any conversion(you only need to change the first digit of the address of it's needed...depending on the value and if you are using "extended" for type)

I find 1xxxxxx codes in the latest revision. it depends on the game really.

done that,theres no TLB miss but then the money patch didnt work xD

hmm that maybe it,I'm using r3808 that's an older version right ? I download it from the public beta section on PCSX2.net.where can i get r4029 ?

done that too,but it's not working...



I tried making a patch with a Codebreaker(v.1) without converting it to RAW(using Omniconvert),and it works...(i thought we need to convert to raw,when using these kind of codes)

Code:

this is the codebreaker code taken straight from codetwink.
2079B68C 3B9AC9FF

and this is the address i found using CE
10F1068C
I can change the value of the money using this address on CE and the address doesnt change every time i load the game,if anyone wondering if it had a pointer or not

so im just asking what might seems to be the problem

That's because the code IS already RAW.Not all cheats there use v1+/v7 encryption,there are old raw codes there too.

Also if there is no change in the base address between r3878 and r3808(maybe you typed this incorrectly,r3878 is the newest official beta),your code(by using 10F1068C)would be in .pnach
patch=1,EE,20EFB68C,extended,3B9AC9FF

What you find minus 10015000 = what you can use in pnach(and change the first digit or the address depending on what kind of value your will be using for the address

Saiki it is possible to find something below 2000000 if your are searching thought your whole ram but normally the addresses that pcsx2 use are starting from 2000000(since r4029)...those that you find below are maybe some kind of copy or not the real address for the cheat.

[Saiki]

that's entirely possible too, but I know I found some like that for a few games and they workd fine outside of pnatch files, or if the patch was only active ingame (as in I didn't boot with it)

I use a completely different method for cheating on Pcsx2 i know you statted on this topic that it was easy, but i found it very challenging compared to the way ive used for years..

I simply Run (maxconvert_v0_71) which allows me to convert any code to any format i require. Then i just run Emuhaste and merge it with Pcsx2, then basicly just search for the codes i require - I only convert if needed. Then apply and im done. i think i preffer my way its easier on my brain. lol

[vsub]

Just a thought...maybe the OP didn't heard of such program "Emuhaste"(like me)and everyone think that his(not the op method but my method,your method,his method and so on)method is easier because he use it a lot and it's easy for him because he know how.

I think that ArtMoney is easier than CE for example but someone may not agree with me.
