[pec] and VGS issue

[Meashka]

im playing star ocean 2 and im trying to use some codes. unfortunately, some of the codes dont work. so im typed in some codes like the enable code and max fol code into the user database. but it appears, the emulator cant accept the codes i typed in without sending them thru the [pec] plugin. but the thing is, vgs doesnt use plugins, so i have no way of sending the codes. i cant use ePSXe cuz my pc specs suck. so thats out of the question, so wut can i do?

Well, there's your problem right there. PEC only works for emulators that make use of those plugins, so VGS is out of the question. For VGS you'd need to find a Gameshark CD or something.

PEC works for VGS just fine, the fact is that if you want to add yer own codes, you cant do it. but i just used another available code to basically achieve the same result. thanx anyway.

You can add your own codes in PEC and yes it does still work with VGS.

[zero_chance]

Well, shows that I'm not experienced in VGS, don't it? :p

[Zorlon]

Not at all it seems as you thought it only worked as a plugin

Don't worry about it though

[Meashka]

then exactly how would you go about using yer own codes thru VGS?

[Zorlon]

Open the code list with wordpad I'll give more info on that later if you need it but for now I'm off to bed.

The reason PEC doesn't work with VGS is because it uses plugin systems. It sends the cheat data through the graphics plugin. Since VGS doesn't use these it is impossible to use it for VGS. I would reccommend searching google for a way to cheat on VGS.

[Zorlon]

No it doesn't use plugin's with VGS and works perfectly OK with VGS

PEC has 2 modes one is a plugin mode for ePSXe and others and it also has a VGS mode that has nothin to do with any sort of plugin.

OK just got PEC again it's been along time since I last looked at this and now it seems you can add your own codes within PEC though I would still use there database and edit it by hand with wordpad

The How to edit/add your own codes to there database guide

Fist open the CD Drive that has the game you want to cheat with (For double CD games you need to do this with both CD's)
Now look for the main PSX file, it's usually named like SCUS-**.*** or SCES-**.*** or even SCPS-**.*** once you find it note that down because thats what PEC uses as reference to the game you have in. All you may have to do is add that to the name of the game for the codes that don't seem to be working because PEC might be looking for a diff version of the game or something silly like that.

You will see the formating yourself when you find the game in the codelist.

Now open codelist.inf with wordpad and search for Star Ocean, using the Find tools in wordpad, now just edit/add your own codes in.
