Pnach not working + lag when playing gow2

[Nicho1kenobi]

Hey guys,

I tried the .pnach files for timesplitters 2.
I checked the code, also the extension, put the code in my pcsx 2 cheat folder, activated cheats, made sure the CRC matched... But still I got a message saying 0 cheats were loaded. Does anyone know how to solve this?

I've only tried a few games, all went fine, until I tried gow2, and I really wanna play this one, lots of nostalgia!!!
The game starts normally, until after the cutscenes I start fighting, then everything sort of turns to slowmo...
Any thoughts?
My specs: 

•  Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3,0 GHz 
  
•  4GB DDR3 RAM 
  
• 320GB HDD 
  
• Nvidia Gigabyte GeForce GT 710 GV-N710D3-2GL REV2.0  954 MHz 2048

about Gow2 = get a decent PC, especially a decent GPU, and it'll be fine.
About Time splitters 2 (itll be slow too, but whatever...) :
Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Thanks for the quick response, When I went to look for the log file I noticed I had another pcsx folder from a previous install, I put the .pnach in the right folder now, it works! Not all cheats are working though... am I to change the order of the code to get different cheats to work?

Regarding GOW2, I know I don't have the best pc... I assembled this one at very low cost... the whole point of me sharing my specs is to see if there's a solution that lets me play the game with these specs...
timesplitters 2 runs smooth af btw

you can tinker with pspeedhacks. don't expect miracles.

I guess you used preset 5 or 6.

Expect crashes...

Some codes just fail to work no matter what you do If you want, you can attach the codes here though and tell us which ones don't work, so we can at least check if they're in the proper format, etc.
