I'm a bit embarrassed. I admit that I know many things about cheating, but I've learnt many things from vsub in this forum.
Hi!

So I'm running into a little bit of a problem. I keep searching for and can't find the crc code anywhere, nor the name the emulator sees from the game, so i can't seem to get the pnach in working order. The game itself runs perfectly. This is my emulog:

Not sure if this post is for this thread but if all else fails,open the disk\image(with whatever you have(7zip\WinRar also work if you don't have anything that can open iso),start pcsx2 and drag drop the file from the disk\image that looks like this S***_***.** to the pcsx2 main window
In the console pcsx2 is supposed to show the crc

PS.If you are going to use 7zip\WinRar,I prefer to extract the file somewhere rather than making the program to extract it to the Temp folder and pcsx2 to run it from there.
Cheat Problem Guide has been updated.

Code:
Date            Description

Oct.  6, 2014   Fixed incorrect 9-digit CRC to 8-digit one.
                Added an annotation regarding the Cheats= key in inis/PCSX2_ui.ini in section (2-6).
                Added chapter 6. Update history.
                The web, Word and PDF versions of this guide were updated by tadatada.


P.S.
Just FYI. I've proposed a new feature below:

If any cheats file is not found, the "Not found Cheats file" message will appear with its full path of the cheats file on the log screen.

[attachment=52671]

This message would help to solve some frequent cheating related questions like "Cheat doesn't work."


Cheats: Added a cheats related log, changed color of a few positive logs. #326

Is the first time I see that thread. If I understood the guide's purpose I'd propose it's name to be "Cheat Troubleshot Guide", just for the sake of cleanness.
Thanks. How about "Cheat Troubleshooting Guide"?
I've googled "Troubleshot Guide" and "Troubleshooting Guide". A number of results of the latter is greater than of the former.

Indeed, troubleshooting sounds good, let's hope an English native speaker to have the say. Actually "Cheat Problems Troubleshooting Guide" looks OK also.

The final name choice is yours Smile

Edit: sorry for the bad misspelling, the name change was proposed for the sake of clearness and not cleanness as stated.
I think that the name "Cheat Problems Troubleshooting Guide" is precisely described its purposes of this guide. I've decided to it and I'll fix to it later.
