cwcheat doesn't work!

[aldube]

I have custom firmware 2.71-m33;
I'm using a REAL Sony 4 gig memory stick Pro Duo;
running ps1 eboot game Dragon Warrior 7;
installed cwcheat (3.71 version) as readme described (it would of better help me initially if the instructions specified to hold BOTH power & "R" buttons until menu comes up)
I enabled the 3 options cwcheat, cwcheat150, & cwcheatpops, then exited.

Not getting any cwcheat menus before or in-game; what's going on here?!? What's the point of installing cwcheat if it doesn't work? (pressing select for 3 seconds gives nothing, nada)

The YouTube vids; didn't show me anything I didn't already do.

corrupted plugins reinstall everything after a scandisk, better if a complete format

I've done as you suggested; however, scandisk found no problems, and despite the fact firmware 3.71-m33 format sets up the system folders a little differently (than the original 3.60 memory stick format):

The results are still the same...

well then we are left with
A) you did use wrong prx
B) your memory stick isn't so "real"...

I used MS_ROOT_371 for a 371-m33 firmware (from Dark Alex)

The Memory Stick does say SONY Pro Duo on it, bought it back in Nov 2007; SONY could of changed the specs on their Memory Sticks in order to discourage Homebrew PSPs or simply got cheap. What is your suggestion here...?

UPDATE: I tried using a 1 Gig SONY Memory Stick Pro Duo to see what happens, and still getting no cwcheat menu after ingame and holding select for greater than 4 seconds... (even tried pressing select 5 times then hold for down select for greater than 4 seconds...)

SOLUTION:

Upon doing some WEB research:

I found that 3.71-m33 support in CWCHEAT 2.1 is specific to 3.71-m33-3 ONLY! (using 3.71-m33/m33-2/m33-4 may cause problems for some reason; I'm using a PSP Slim)

If you're having problems with the hold "R" & power button trick to get restore menu; then try removing PSP battery and put it back in after a few seconds.

UPDATE:

My Dragon Warrior VII uses a game ID of SLUSP01206 instead of SLUS-01206, so the cheatpops.db has to be edited accordingly for the cheats to show up.

well support for 3.71m33 from 0.2.0 is only for 3.71m33-3 and never (as the 3.71m33 series has ceased development these two version will be the ones supported 3.71m33-3 and 3.71m33-4)

I have the same problem. I put the SE plugins folder onto my PSP and then I went into the recovery menu and put on cwcheat.prx, cwcheatpops and cwcheat150.prx and I dont know how to access CWcheat either in game or out of game. What am I supposed to do? Or am I supposed to put the entire MS root folder, not just the SE plugins, onto my PSP and then enable all 3 things? Also, what are the proper buttons to use to activate CWcheat? Can it only be activated in game, or can you activate it from the normal PSP menu?

[weltall]

the default button is written in either the wiki and the readme: last point of procedure.
depends if you enabled it also in the vsh (you must do that manually).

I think installation is fine only when you stay in game, psh and keep push button selet (default button) to enter in CwCheat device and enable cheat. Good Luk ^^
