PCSX2 Nightly - How to use Codes 

Please tell me why the devs of PCSX2 thought that making the code system like this was a good idea? Hell... ePSXe (ps1 emulator) just has you paste the gameshark codes right in.

The easiest way i found to put codes in your game is to download Action Replay version 3.34, make sure cheats is enabled in your settings, open AR in pcsx2, scroll down to your game, enable the cheats you want, when it goes to change disc menu switch to the game, it may take a few secs and your game should boot up with the cheats

As good of a guide as this is, it's very unfortunate that the PCSX2 devs made the cheat system the way that it is. Makes modding and doing QOL improvements to old retro PS2 games overly difficult unfortunately. Also another bad thing is that since PCSX2 updates what seems like every 10 minutes adds yet another layer of difficulty to coding and such. Quite a shame really. Kudos on this guide though, it was very well put together.

Ah, a fellow enjoyer of AC4 as well! Idk why, but its the only Ace Combat game ive ever played and I loved all of it

So, go Settings, Emulation, there is the Enable Cheats. Yeah, I just upgraded to Nightly, new computer, so figured what the heck, but couldn't figure out how to turn on the cheats with the new version. Thank you so very much for this!!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! BIG HELP!

Really Nice Tutorial 🥳👍

I can finally play my games and catch up on where i left them off at thank you so much 🎉

Absolutely helpful, thank you so much !

You can left click on on the game and go to properties to get the crc number.

It was somewhat indirect, though this video did help. The comment about how the console in the emulator has an output about the cheats loading got me to re-enable it myself. Somehow, I didn't realize the name of the .pnach file had to be a specific value, so when the console output could not find it in the cheats folder, even though I added the file there, I realized that I just needed to rename it to what the console text expected. Everything started working after.

Thank you so much broskei

Thank you soooo much you made my day

Hey how you doing I try to activate the codes in this app but the option to enable how you doing is not showing up for me at all

I feel like a national wanted hacker hacking the usa nuke codes

thank you!!!

Why the fuck did they made this so painful? Duckstation has cheats sitting right there and you can download them from the emulator.

So the newest version on my pc does not have Enable Systems Console? So what do I do about that??

i downloaded the gameshark v4 iso, boot it up on the emulator, i selected Monster Rancher 3 on the list, pressed x on the code i wanted, after that i choose start game, the insert disc message appears, the i clicked on the change disc option in the emulator, selected game from the game list, after that i pressed X button on the message and the game booted up with inf money, all that under than 1 minute.

I can't get it to work, I spent all day yesterday, trying to get it to work, but all it says is, "2 unlabelled patch codes will automatically activate." and I watched 3 or 4 of these how to use cheats in PCSX2 Nightly, and yet nothing

I'm not seeing "Enable System Console" under Tools. Has it been renamed / merged with one of the other options?

Incorrect format. Here's the correct one. for an example, this is for *Def Jam: Fight for NY* [Profile 1 Max Cash] patch=1,EE,208EC200,extended,3B9AC9FF [DEV Points] patch=1,EE,208EC208,extended,3B9AC9FF [Player 1 Infinite Health] patch=1,EE,204BC4C0,extended,42C80000 patch=1,EE,204BC4C8,extended,42C80000 [Momentum/Stamina] patch=1,EE,204BC4D4,extended,42C80000 [Max Health] patch=1,EE,204BC4C4,extended,42C80000 [P2 No Health] patch=1,EE,204BD7B8,extended,00000000 patch=1,EE,204BD7BC,extended,00000000 patch=1,EE,204BD7C0,extended,00000000 [Unlock All Venues] patch=1,EE,208EAB10,extended,00000018 patch=1,EE,408EBD6C,extended,00180001 patch=1,EE,17000001,extended,00000001 [Unlock All Fighters] patch=1,EE,208EAB24,extended,0000004B patch=1,EE,408EBDE5,extended,004B0001 patch=1,EE,07000001,extended,00000001 [Story Mode Access All Gear] patch=1,EE,200C0220,extended,240300FF patch=1,EE,200C0224,extended,080D85B3 patch=1,EE,200C0228,extended,A0430000 patch=1,EE,203616C8,extended,08030088 [Story Mode Access All Moves] patch=1,EE,200C0230,extended,240200FF patch=1,EE,200C0234,extended,080D852F patch=1,EE,200C0238,extended,A0620000 patch=1,EE,203614B8,extended,0803008C

There isn't a simpler way to enable codes?????

just so people know system console is now log window

Whats the format when the code has multiple lines?

thanks

this video was really helpful but say for instance the code has 4 codes to it would it be like the same process as say code1,code2,code3,code4 would it be a similar process like patch=1,EE,code1,extended,code2,extended,code3,extended,code4 or is there a different process for that?

I dont have enable system console when i go i tools all i see is enable log windows and enable file logging

thank you sir
