How do I get Gameshark Codes to work?

[chris062689]

I'm still very confused on this subject, I found some here:

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/persona3...pid=932312

Master code
F0100208 0000000E
Or
905148D0 0C144138

HP, SP recover after the battle
20291F28 70000C88

Gain EXP X time (player, party % persona)
201F2F8C 24010064
201F2F90 10000003
201F2F94 00411018


I typed them in, converted them, but still nothing appears to be happening. Can anyone please help?

can you give me the CRC of that game? I'll make it into a patch file for you.

[chris062689]

Um, not exactly sure how to do that?
Is this it? 94a82aaa

I tried making it into a patch before, but all it did was crash pcsx2 when I hit Run.
Thanks Saiki.

CRC is shown in console when game is run in emu, just watch for a CRC check or something like that, it says CRC = xxxxxxxx that's the number patches are made of...

Cheers...

// HP, SP recover after the battle
patch=1,EE,20291F28,extended,70000C88

// Gain EXP X time (player, party % persona)
patch=1,EE,201F2F8C,extended,24010064
patch=1,EE,201F2F90,extended,10000003
patch=1,EE,201F2F94,extended,00411018

If you post that into your patch it should work if your using the NTSC version of the game, and if your patch was made correctly, if not, im not sure

[chris062689]

Nope, it doesn't have any of the effects listed.
How can I tell if the patch is actually being loaded?
The CRC is right though.
I think FES was only released in one version.

I want to say it's not loading the patch for some reason:
In the picture, the CRC gets cut off, but it's showed as: 94A82AAA

[Seipher]

Oooooh its FES, the codes you linked to are for the original Persona 3 Give me a bit and ill make you a FES version

Hmm the Persona 3 FES version doesnt have the hp/sp refill after battle, but tell me what other codes you want and ill make it for you.

make sure the file name is 94A82AAA.pnach

I hate to hijack this topic, but Seipher, would you mind digging up Persona 3 FES codes to max out Academics, Charm and Courage?

I would try making a .pnach file myself, but I can't seem to find the gameshark codes for them.

Much appreciated.

EDIT: Alright, haha. It just took some trial and error. Apparently, the CRC code I was using was wrong. Works perfectly now. Thanks for the help though. Couldn't have done it without the code you had. ;P

[Seipher]

Well, heres a quick patch file i made with pretty much every code for FES, you will have to open it with notepad and take out the // before the patch part of the codes you want enabled. but its pretty much all of em

[chris062689]

Major, Major, Major, MAJOR kudos to you sir. It works great!
