Japanese cheat codes not working

[demonflameslord]

Hi, i'm playing Monster Hunter 1 (JPN/ SLPM_654.95) and i found a database of cheats in old japanese blogs. I plan to record the story dialogues, and as i already finished the game in other character, wanted to speed up this process. However, i'm having trouble in getting them to work, of the 10 i put there, only one worked.

This one:
comment =Does not consume items & no need to reload bowgun & Clear even if the egg breaks
patch=1,EE,20136C18,extended,240200FF
patch=1,EE,20136C48,extended,240200FF
patch=1,EE,20152A60,extended,24020063

The code i want to make work is the one to insta-kill enemies on screen (that disables automaticaly upon returning to village). After looking more in depth, it seems that they are made for PAR, so i got acess to a old decrypter but sadly the result code is not working. 

This is the code encrypted:

comment      =Enemies in the area suddenly die
9CC62CA8 15F6E79D
9CC62CAC 1456E7A5

And this is it converted and put in the PCSX2 format:

comment =Enemies in the area suddenly die
patch=1,EE,A053AB80,extended,03E00008
patch=1,EE,A053AB84,extended,00000000

While the emulator shows that i have the patches active, it's effects were no where to be seen. 
I tried changing the starting to 20 and to 201, but it didn't worked out in the end (freezes the game or the character). 

Anyone knows how can i bypass this?

According to https://macrox.gshi.org/The%20Hacking%20Text.htm, A-type codes are for writing the 32-bit values only once.
The problem is the command was untested and I don't know if PCSX2 supports it

As a workaround, try with this:

Code:

patch=0,EE,2053AB80,extended,03E00008
patch=0,EE,2053AB84,extended,00000000

From what I've understand, "patch=0" does the same thing as the A-type codes (write only once).

Thank you so much for the answer! I tried, but sadly it didn't work...
I don't know if the code was accurately reversed, but it was worth the try.

As the code was shared by the japanese players back then it must have worked at the time, but i'm not sure how their cheat methods worked exactly....

The site i used was taken down a while ago, but Wayback Machine has it archived:
web.archive.org / web / 20040804000733 / www21. big. or. jp/ ~dram / ps2code. html

In any case,i will keep trying to test it, and i will gladly appreciate any other help and insights in this if you or anyone has it hahah

It worked just fine, thank you so much! This will speed up a lot my recordings ^^ 

I wished the insta-kill enemies code worked, but this is a great improvement too haha

Thank you so much for doing this! Sadly it still didn't work, but i really appreciate your help!

If you can provide the link to the japanese page i can check if a necesary code is needed.

[demonflameslord]

Sure! It was on a archived page in the wayback machine (though some pages nowadays still has them like the Dirty Cheater blog which i will link too).

You can check them here (old database):
web archive org/ web/ 20050418203723 / http : // mhg. nm. land. to / mhcode. html

Or here in the Dirty Cheater Blog

Thanks a lot for looking more in deep into it!

The cheat in the page add the line Deactivate cheat when entering an area with an NPC, maybe you can only activate the cheat in combat and not all the time.
