Cheats loading, but not working
#1
Lightbulb 
Hello,

I'm having some trouble with cheats working on the PCSX2 emulator. I have one of the most recent, if not most recent version of PCSX2.

I've enabled cheats, and created a pnach file for my version of the game: Resident Evil - Outbreak (v2.00)

Hardware/OS: Steam Deck, SteamOS (Arch-Linux)

File name of pnach: 0245EF6D.pnach

Path of pnach file: .var\app\net.pcsx2.PCSX2\config\PCSX2\cheats

Pnach file content:

Code:
gametitle = Resident Evil - Outbreak (USA) (v2.00)
