No.
Don't add it to the second group of 8. Just the first one. The one after EE.
And don't forget to change the CRC to match your game's!

Ah... reading your tutorial I thought it would be the same. How do you get those values? By finding the same cheat in both systems and substracting or is there a smart and easy way or some kind of conversion table?

simple math.
What you need:
cheats you want to convert
a common code between 2 regions (MUST work for its respective region)
a hex calculator (for windows users: ALT + 3 when calulator is open. also choose HEX, not DEC)
money is ALWAYS the easiest one to find, so most people use that

patch=1,EE,address,(byte/short/word),value
you are ONLY changing the address, not the value
I posted the max money code to get you started:
patch=1,EE,2040A594,extended,05F5E0FF
ok so it should look like this
Code: gametitle=Dragon Quest VIII: The Journey of the cursed King (E) [SLUS_212.07] [945FBF31]
//Max Gold
patch=1,EE,2040A594,extended,05F5E0FF
though i dont know what the [SLUS_212.07] part means

Dragon Quest 8 - SLES_539.74
people put SLXS numbers to identify the game, that's all

SLUS_212.07 is the name of the elf file(Stands for executable linkable format. Think of it like EXE on windows) on the disc as well as the games unique code. Just think of it as a unique identifier.

Did you change the crc inside the pnach?
Does it say anything in the log like:
"1 cheat loaded"
or similar?
(BTW I don't use cheats, but widescreen cheats and I am assuming the readout is the same)
