New user here, new to PCSX2 cheat files but not new to emulation or cheats for other emulators.
PCSX2 1.60 portable Windows 10 Home x64.
Game: Altered Beast SLES_530.24
PCSX2 log shows cheat file found but 0 cheats loaded.
I pasted the whole log file to see if anyone could find any relevant info on why the cheats just won't load even the the cheat file is found. Here are the contents of the cheat file. filename is D6DF457B.pnach in the cheats directory of PCSX2.
PCSX2 is working fine, just can't seem to get cheats to work for this game. I searched here and the web and am familiar with omniconvert and pcsx2 cheat converter. I got cheats working in other emulators (MAME, RetroArch, Fusion, ZSNES, WinVice etc.) but PCSX2 has me stumped.
