Anything I could be doing wrong?
Pardon my ignorance.

[pandubz]

Your cheats file was found but it is reported as empty. Can you post the contents of the file here?

[EmuSage]

Here you go. 
Pardon the delayed response, I've been having a bad toothache because a filling came out from when I was 10. 

[BloodRaynare]

So I just take a look at your pnach and just as I thought, the cheats are in the wrong format.

It seems you are trying to load ps2rd formatted cheats which PCSX2 not understands. Also, PCSX2 didn't need any master codes.
Anyway, here's the correct format of the pnach:

Code:

gametitle=Castlevania - Curse Of Darkness (SLUS_211.68)

//Infinite HP
patch=1,EE,20AEFAE8,extended,000003E7

//Infinite Gold
patch=1,EE,10AF8014,extended,0000FFFF

//Quick EXP Gain
patch=1,EE,10AEFADC,extended,0000FFFF

//All Resistances
patch=1,EE,40AEFAF0,extended,000B0002
patch=1,EE,00000002,extended,00000000

I really appreciate you guys. Thank you for helping me out and I will read that entire link's worth of information once I get my own, personal problem sorted out. Again, thanks and Have a Safe One.
