    Default Cheat Codes in PCSX2

    Can someone help me with the easiest way to use cheat codes in PCSX2? I've tried several guides, none of them make sense. Excuse me if this is a noob question. Also, it would be a greater help if someone uploaded a Kingdom Hearts PNACH file.

    Pnatch files are the easiest way but I use a real PS2 anyway and just don't care about emulating a system that is not even close to being issue free

    The best guides for that are provided on the official PCSX2 site/forum

    [Quest Packs Collection]
    GTA San Andreas - Hot Coffee [COMPLETE]

    GTA San Andreas - Real Car Names extra content mod [WIP] [Back burner, just won't have the time ]
    Please can all ESR users post your results here to help with the project and others wanting to use ESR

    First you need to find the CRC # for the specific game. What you do is run the emulator, and make sure you have the log enabled. It should be a second window that opens up. At the top will be 2 options, log and sources. Click log, and then save log after the game loads. It will save the log as a text file and then do CTL+F and search for CRC. It should look something like this: Game CRC = 0xA5C05C78. Then you create a new text file and rename it using the 8 digits I underlined. So rename it A5C05C78.PNACH, and then place it in your cheats folder in PCSX2. You then have to input the cheats into the PNACH file in the correct format for them to work.

    You should have at least 1 PNACH file already in your cheats directory that shows you how to properly format codes to get them to work. The format looks something like this:

    Gametitle=Star Ocean Till the end of time.

    // Max gold on sell
    patch=1,EE,D02F9E92,word,00004402
    patch=1,EE,202F9E8C,word,00000000

    You don't need to input any master codes. Some cheats won't work like the ones where you push a button to activate a code on/off.

    This is a good website for cheats: http://cheats.codetwink.com/ps2/view/1240

    I'll use this code as an example:

    Max Munny - 2A1F1C9D 0001869F

    The correct format would be:

    // Max munny
    patch=1,EE,2A1F1C9D,word,0001869F

    You see what I did there?

    If you want to disable certain cheats you do this:

    // Max munny
    //patch=1,EE,2A1F1C9D,word,0001869F



    And last but not least, make sure you have cheats enabled under the system option.
