Perhaps you want to use gameshark for Playstation 2 games on emulator but too lazy to download the gameshark ISO or its not working, here i'll try to explain how to use .pnach file to use gameshark/action replay or codebreaker codes on emulator.
In this case, I'm using PCSX2 0.9.8 which i've shared in my other post.
open PCSX2 folder on your computer and open Cheat folder, there you will find file with numbers and letters combination that ends with .pnach (example ; eb3ac800.pnach) you need the crc code of your game for the name of the .pnach you going to use
Now after you know what file name to use, copy the file .pnach thats already in your PCSX2 0.9.8\Cheats folder,then paste anywhere you like for now, and rename using the crc code that showed on the console, for example,in my case, i'm playing Front Mission 4, and the code for .pnach for this game is eb3ac800.pnach,so i rename the copied file into this, then open it (you can use notepad or notepad++ if you like)
the file should have this kind of format (the codes below are just example)
comment=Front Mission 4 Cheats
// Must Be On
patch=1,EE,F0100008,word,00143887
// All parts elsa
patch=1,EE,403B6204,word,00280001
patch=1,EE,63636363,word,00000000
- Change the game title with your game title (red)
- Change the cheat name (green)
- Change the code with any Raw codes you want (blue) if the codes you want to use are longer you can just add the same format below it
Now we need the cheat codes, you can use google to find the codes, but wait a sec, if you just copy paste the cheat codes directly there, it wont work, because what you need is the "Raw" version of the codes
here is the tool to convert gameshark/AR into "Raw" format you need, you can download it here
Max Convert V.0.71
Extract into any folder you like,and run Max Convert, and just copy paste the gameshark/AR codes you want to use into the Max Convert like shown in the picture.
Hope its useful, Happy playing ^.^
