I haven't been able to get my pnach file to work, either as a patch or as a cheat in 0.9.7

Code:

gametitle=Final Fantasy XII [SLUS 20963] (U) [0779FBDB]
comment=some cheats
//max gil
patch=1,EE,8ACAC439,extended,2C681F04

patch=1,EE,156AF632,extended,C801795B

any ideas what might be wrong?

Just a random guess but did you use common v7 encryption? If so try without...if you did'nt try with. Hope it helps.

Solved my problem, I was putting the pnach files into My Documents instead of Program Files.

Silly me.

Hello don't know what happend but the patch is not working.
don't know what is wrong...

this is the patch
gametitle=Final Fantasy XII [SLUS 20963] (U) [0779FBDB]
comment=Final Fantasy XII [SLUS 20963] (U)[0779FBDB]

//MasterCode
patch=1,EE,000ffffe,word,00000252
patch=1,EE,000fffff,word,00000252
patch=1,EE,21780C20,word,03E00008
patch=1,EE,21780C24,word,24020001

patch=1,EE,203B7888,word,2A020000
patch=1,EE,203B77F8,word,10000019

thanks in advance...

Above all, pnach does not use the master code.

try first replacing all those "word" for "extended". That's because that first digit is a code type indicator and not part of the address. To use the explicit tokens "byte", "short" or "word" those first digits on the address must be changed to 0.

for example: patch=1,EE,203B78A0,word,2A020000 should be patch=1,EE,003B78A0,word,2A020000 OR patch=1,EE,203B78A0,extended,2A020000

in the second case the "2" is what tells to the "extended" the value (2A020000) is a word=4 bytes.

Now, Horribly WRONG, assuming that master code was an actual code, the token should be "Byte". Notice it's first digit in the address is 0

so 0 = byte, 1 = short and 2 = word. Failing in using the correct length implies in that first code all those zeros would be INDEED put in the memory, erasing the 3 next bytes.

Bottom line, keep the code as it is and use "extended" in all of them, less complicate.

PS: actually the error is still greater because the value 0252 actually is a short. As it is a "master code" I'm not sure the rule applies to it, but since it Can't be used in pnach that does not matter.

//snake infinite healt
patch=1,EE,C01D30A8,extended,064C03E8
patch=1,EE,C01D30A8,extended,064E03E8
this does not work that I am making bad aid please

[MASTERXZ]

thanks for the explanation...

[WTFsandwich]

Can someone explain why this code will not work, even after conversion?

It stated on Codetwink it's for CB V7+, so I decrypted with the version 7 option, and it still doesn't work. The code is the All items code.

On Codetwink, its
4A3868DE C45D0BDA
2ACCC3FD 00020002
4A386920 C4710A24
69148050 8A9DB21C

Decrypted, it is
656DCAE4 15C1CA7F
7135882C 1FB37108
DFD63B4B 47E142EB
CF546873 D60DDCB7

Is this an issue with the codetype or something else? Should I use word (I've been using extended) in the pnach file?

[Shadow Lady]

Try the non V7 option when decrypting.
