Cheat Problems Troubleshooting Guide

[vanzhule]

hi i somehow cant picture it the diffrence between word and extended
in case i have some cheat like this 9A58571C 188A0C84
how do i know that was a word or extended

[tadatada]

Your example "9A58571C 188A0C84" is not a raw code. Some hints to identify whether a raw code or non-raw are written in the chapter 5 in this guide. See also an attached file "pcsx2 and PCSX2OTC code implementation.txt" to deepen your understanding.

From here, assume codes are raw.

A raw format code like "xxxxxxxx yyyyyyyy" is for "extended" in a pnach format. Meanings of "byte", "short", "word" and "extended" are written in the chapter 4 in this guide.

In short, if you want to use raw format codes which are created by others, use only "extended" for a pnach format. If you create your own cheats or patches, choose any type of the four types depend on the cheats or the patches.


There are more concrete examples of meanings/differences of the four types I wrote before.

I'm using the pnach file to add cheats to Xenosaga Episode 1 but when I try to load them up my console goes haywire with errors and doesn't boot up. I'm not sure what I've done wrong, I've converted the cheats to raw using omniconvert and created the pnach file using PCSX2CE. I am getting cpuTlbMiss errors in red text and IOPunknown errors in yellow. The following is my pnach file

Just out of curiosity, I'd like to know how to get the raw codes, as I said I used omniconvert, and I changed the input depending on the codes, had the output set to Unencrypted and standard. Did I mess something up with that?

[vsub]

You must set the input to the correct format and output to Standard or rarely to the other modes in unencrypted.

The codes I found(and probably are the same you used before converting)were using ARMAX encryption,so I set the input to ARMAX and output to Unencrypted=>Standard and the result is what I posted(but without pnach formatting)

[dragonsl5]

I did all that though, I changed the input formatting to ARMAX and the output to standard. All well I guess I just messed something up and don't realize it. Thanks a lot for the help.

It is also possible that your omniconvert version is too old(mine is 1.1.0)

I noticed haha, and I'm extremely grateful for the help I've gotten from here.

Yea, mine is out of date, I got the 1.0.3 version. Thanks again
