^This patch should be written one of which.

patch=1,EE,0023D010,word,0098967F // "0": Address, but never used because this digit exceeds 32MB.
patch=1,EE,2023D010,extended,0098967F // "2": Not address. A code type.

Cheat Engine shows PC memory address. pcsx2 cheats are worked in emulated PS2 RAM (32 MB) of pcsx2.exe. Therefore, you have to use offset addresses for cheats. If Cheat Engine shows 21234567, you have to use offset address 1234567 for cheats.

Code:
Process Name   PC Memory Address
aaa.exe        10000000
+---------------------------------------------+
|                                             |
|                                             |
+---------------------------------------------+

pcsx2.exe      20000000 <---------------------- PC Memory Address (Cheat Engine shows)
*** This 20000000 PC Memory Address highly depends on pcsx2 versions. ***
+---------------------------------------------+
| Offset Address:00000000 ~ 01FFFFFF (32 MB) | <--- pcsx2 Cheat Offset Address (for cheats)
|                                             |
|            Emulated PS2 RAM                 |
+---------------------------------------------+
|                                             |
+---------------------------------------------+

bbb.exe        30000000
+---------------------------------------------+
|                                             |

I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask.
I'm trying to create joker command for 4 lines but only the last line active.
Is the joker command bugged?

Since I'm not using these
Exxxxxxx 1yyyyyyy
Exxxxxxx 2yyyyyyy
Exxxxxxx 3yyyyyyy

I think it should be okay but it only work for the last line.

i was trying the program to convert stuff, but i couldn't make it work. anyway the code is
Master code
EC878530 1456E79B
Strengthening parts ALL99
1C82BCC8 14BADFC6
1C82BCCC 3854E788
1C82BCD0 15F6E79D
1C82BCD4 B434D7DD

i included the code because the site is japanese, and i DO NOT know if the original code is armax,codebreaker,xploder, etc.

patch=1,EE,16B2084B,extended,14BADFC6
patch=1,EE,16B20C4B,extended,3854E788
patch=1,EE,16B2004B,extended,15F6E79D
patch=1,EE,16B2044B,extended,B434D7DD

i tried the above code conversion, didn't work.

i am trying to convert it now to raw using omniconvert then pcx2cheat converter. i randomly converted stuff and for the most part, it did not work. pcsx2cheat converter could not or would not convert the codes. basically if I knew the source, then i can properly convert it to raw, probably. so any of you guys know which code(xploder, codebreaker etc) probably uses the above master code so i can use the actual 99 strengthening code? or you could convert it straight to pnach. please and thank you. the game is srw original generations btw.

i also tried pcsx2otc, it said the code was not supported???

Those codes can be converted by using Omniconvert or Multi Converter: Input -> Action Replay -> Version 1.
Master code is not needed for emulators.
PCSX2OTC doesn't support non-raw codes and master code.

yeah i just included M coz i though it would be easier to track what kind of code it is with the M. so how do i identify if its xploder, codebreaker or action replay? just curious. although if that is action replay, then all the codes at the site is also action replay, and so if this works, then all the codes at that site are as good as cracked.

for posterity and my sanity, this is the site http://www17.ocn.ne.jp/~altcodex/

thanks man imma try that later. so just to clarify,

raw

I don't know the way how to identify what kind of encryption is used. What I always do is, I try all decryption until correct raw codes I think appear. Smile
See the chapter 5 in Cheat Problem Guide and see also this guide's an attached file: pcsx2 and PCSX2OTC code implementation.txt. These information may be useful to identify whether the decrypted codes are raw.

Japanese PS2 encrypted codes are usually Action Replay which are very popular in Japan.

These pnach codes have to be like this:

patch=1,EE,20173BA4,extended,24020063
patch=1,EE,20173BA8,extended,03E00008

See this post from "From here, assume codes are raw."

Since this is not a general question regarding pnachs I would suggest to open a new thread.

Please attach the emulog after the shutdown to your new thread.
Please attach as well the pnach-File.
