Pnach cheats are not working.
#1
I'm using the latest nightly build.

I made sure to enable cheats.  I check the log, the emulator says it found and loaded a pnach file with the correct CRC for the game. 

Yet the cheats don't work.  I got the cheats from here, so they should have already been converted. 

The codes in question are for tales of the abyss.  I have the CRC named correctly, and the syntax for the cheats are like this.  If this is wrong, tell me what needs to be fixed, thanks.

Try to delete one of the gametitles (You just need one).

Also try to add comments for the lines other than "patch,1,EE"

Like this:

Code:
//Master FS Chamber (Switch to max)
patch=1,EE,20375E6C,extended,1000000A
patch=1,EE,20375E70,extended,24020064

If it still isn't working there's a possibility that the undub ver. might shift some address around so try it with the original unpatched version first.

Ok, so I changed it to this, and it still doesn't work. Also this is not the undub version.

Where did you get the codes from? And was it even match with your game version?
Also you might want to convert the PNACHes to the 2.0 format: https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Sticky-I...-Pnach-2-0
But if it's already doesn't work in 1.0 format probably it won't work with the 2.0 format either.

That's why you have to specify where did you get the codes from

Like this? And rename the pnach to the new header type? It still doesn't work. I right click the game, go into cheats, and these aren't even on the cheat list. So I'm at a complete loss as to what's going on here....

Ok, I removed the //, and even added a description. Still doesn't work. Thanks for trying guys, but I've spent a good hour at least trying to troubleshoot this to no avail, so maybe someone else who runs into this problem can try to figure it out? At this point it would be quicker for me to just use cheat engine to do some of the same stuff as below.

Probably the codes wasn't even tested.
And well yeah probably better to just recreate the codes yourself.
