Alright, I'm not tech savvy AT ALL so mind you if I'd done something simply stupid here(which I probably have) just help me correct it so I can learn and maybe not have to be so bloody reliant on others. With that said, here's the point.
OK, so I got the emulator working, game on it that I want (DQ8 btw).
Decided to start playing, runs fine, smooth as hell, a little blurry but it's fine enough and takes away nothing from the game for me personally.
Well, I want to speed along and back to the bulk of the game, hate starting up games I've already completed personally.; So I figured... HEY, why not some early game cheats, lets just breeze through and get to my favorite parts..... HOLY ***** NOPE!!! I thought this was gonna be a simple copy and paste process and I learned I was sooooo wrong. XD Especially since I'm tech-tarded.
At least I thought it wasn't going to be simple.... I mean it's simple enough. Here's what I did:::
SO... this is where I am confused ; Are the codes invalid? Did I do something wrong? Any help here is greatly appreciated.
PS. I"m NOT using every code from that list mind you, I wanted to make things easier but not take away all gameplay by using x24exp or anything. I suppose I can include the attachment of the PNACH file I have to show the codes I'm using or at least want to use. ((I know to remove // to enable them))

[Edit]
In your pnach file, you forgot to comment out the Max Gold and Money On Hand Does Not Decrease lines.
Can you also tell us which codes specifically aren't working for you? Does the console log show any sign of it having loaded any codes at all?
When the game starts up the window does state this (( Not found Cheats file: C:\Users\maple\Documents\PCSX2\cheats\F4715852.pnach
Overall 0 Cheats loaded
))I've noticed that, but I know not how to change the file or codes to properly register.
As for which codes aren't registering, it would be ALL the Gold Codes and ALL EXP codes aren't seeming to work. ( I"m not far enough in the game to test the alchemy ones)

Comment out?

So that one should work just fine? Provided I can get the file responding properly.....

You have this:
Code:
Max Gold
patch=1,EE,20409840,extended,05F5E0FF
Money On Hand Does Not Decrease
patch=1,EE,202028C4,extended,5CA00001
patch=1,EE,202028C8,extended,00451021
patch=1,EE,202028CC,extended,00000000
It should be this:
Code:
//Max Gold
patch=1,EE,20409840,extended,05F5E0FF
//Money On Hand Does Not Decrease
patch=1,EE,202028C4,extended,5CA00001
patch=1,EE,202028C8,extended,00451021
patch=1,EE,202028CC,extended,00000000
Always make code titles/descriptions a comment as shown above.
Also, it states it can't find the patch file. So either you stored it in the wrong location, or you accidentally added .txt as file extension to it. Double check and make sure it's in the correct folder, and that the file extension is .pnach (disable 'hide known extensions' in folder options, to make sure you're seeing the full file name+extension).

I have taken a screenshot of the folder and file in question and I have re-edited said PNACH file and readded it as an attachment. I have edited it so that all codes SHOULD be active if they are registering properly. ( to my understanding) Desktop screencap

Right now you have the file inside a different folder. Copy it to the folder it's looking in.
Oh my gravy... geeze there seem to be two folders with my PS2 emulator in it, eeesh ... I feel so stupid. Thank you so much. Everything has been adjusted and appears to be in working order. Thank you so much for your help!
May I ask why there appears to be 2 folders. I know I didn't download it or copy it twice...
