Hi Folks,
i´ve searched the forum but couldn´t find any 'good' tutorial about the internal 'Cheat Finder' function
of PCSX2 and how to convert cheat device codes to raw, using the tool 'MAXConvert' which is very usefull.
So i decided to write a little overview and how to make the appropriate patches.
(I know there are a few threads about it, but i have too much time )

1. Things needed
2. How to find the CRC for your game
3. Cheat Finder function of PCSX2
4. How to use MaxConvert
5. Create Patches with the found codes
1. Things needed
- PCSX2 0.9.4+ of course
- MaxConvert 0.71 (RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting)
- A game of your Choice (I´ll explain it for FFX Pal / german)
- the CRC of the game you use, to make the patch for it
2. Find the CRC of your game
There are two quick ways to find the CRC.
Start PCSX2 and your game in window mode, makes it easier.
First way
- if there is no patch for your game in the patches folder, you´ll see in the
'Output-Window-Title' something like this
- your crc is in the red square
Second way
- start the game and after 1-2 second hit 'ESC' and scroll up in the 'Output-Window'
you should find something like this
- the crc is in the red square
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Cheat Finder function of PCSX2
First of all, the internal Cheat Finder can find almost anything in your game
but i´ll explain only the basics (maybe more later).
I´ll explain basic search, for infinite money in FFX pal/german
(I know there is already a patch for it from 'Nachbrenner'), but for learning, it´s quite easy.
You can use savestates for quick access to find codes, but only use it to search codes. When you found
the right code, use normal saves.
1. Start PCSX2 and your Game, and go to a safe location (here for FFX i´m at a vendor, at the very beginning)
- you see i have 1315 Gil
- now hit 'ESC' and go to 'Misc->Patch Finder'
- you should be here now
- now click reset, change 'Values of size' to 16 bits (cause its more then 255, later more)
- change 'compared to' to 'specific value', enter the amount of money to 1315 and click search
- should look like this now
- now click 'close' not the 'X' in upper right corner !!
- you´re back at the PCSX2 Main screen, click on 'Run->Execute', you must change to your game window, if its not poped up already
- now buy / sell something to change the value of the money, i bought something so my money is now 1265
- now hit 'ESC' again and go to 'Misc->Patch Finder'
- enter 1265 in the specific Value box and hit search, should look like this now
- now you have one address ( it could be more of course, so you have to repeat the steps, to find less addresses)
- now click on the address and then click the add button. It will show you, what you have to enter in the patch later.
- For my example here, it is 'patch=0,EE,0031d218,short,<value>'
- now we know an address for money, keep this in mind, we´ll use it later for patch building.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Convert Codes with MAXConvert to Raw
- Just install the MaxConvert tool and set the output to RAW and try with patches
(more to come, but to lazy at the moment)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Create Patches with the found codes
First we need the CRC of the game. If you read the guide, we now have the FFX pal/german CRC.
If you have another CRC is ok too. I´ll explan .pnach patch files here (.xml patches there are too)
- Create an empty text file with notepad or any other text editor. (i prefer Notepad++ its for free)
The first two line must be, otherweise the patchfile won´t work i think.
You can change the title and the comment of course, it´s just an example.
you remember the address we found with the PCSX2 internal code finder ?
it was 'patch=0,EE,0031d218,short,<value>' and now we make a patch from it.
if you wonder, why i entered 'ffff' for value, well, there are a few values that you can change.
it could be patch=1,EE,0031d218,byte,FF
or
patch=1,EE,0031d218,word,000000FF
but that i don´t won´t explain here right now.
<-CUT->
gametitle=Final Fantasy X Deutsch [SCES 50492] (G)
comment=patches by Avatarius79
patch=1,EE,0031d218,short,FFFF
<-CUT->
save this as 941bb7d9.pnach (without the <-cut->) and put in in your patches directory.
So, don´t ask me why it must be sometimes patch=1 and sometimes patch=0, i will tell you when i know.
If somebody can explain, i´m glad, if he could tell it to me.

I am using a Codebreaker. I enable the Quick EXP Gain cheat for Kingdom Hearts, fight one or two of the Heartless in the beginning (earning 4 or 5 levels each, getting a nice head start), save state, reset the game.and the cheats are still functioning! Is there any way around this?
There are no cheats to give me an edge that isn't absurdly unfair. I'd like to just start a few levels higher than normal. But I can't figure out how to disable cheats after enabling them.resetting doesn't do it, and save stats seem to save the cheats as well.

Well, there are two problems. You're using a save state, as the name implies this saves the state of the machine, including the cheat codes that are resident in the memory from your Codebreaker. You need to use the regular save mechanism built into the game or see #2. PCSX2 has a built in cheating system that you can use and turn on/off at will without having to save and reset (for MOST codes). It's a little more complicated than I care to explain here, but there's tons of info at the and.
