CWcheat not working?

So for the moment, we have to rely on users reporting bad or non-working codes. That's what the thread is for, use it. Kthxbye.

Agreed, i've seen little 14 year old's post codes in less than 20 minutes.

I really hate the way these fucktards don't take in account that memory adress are in fact dynamic.

that's what's bad about automatized search systems...

hi Weltall, I read your faq about cwcheats and some of my questions where still not answered so I would need some help about somethings

1. To some game it happens this -
Q: I've added some cheats to the db they are in the right format as explained by the
HOW TO USE THE MEMORY CARD SUPPORT.txt file in the cwcheat archive but still i can't
get my codes to show in the select cheats screen. what's wrong?

A: the most frequent reason to this is that you are entering the ID with a different case
as the one shown by cwcheat and because cwcheat is case sensitive it doesn't see your
id. A lot of Games have ids like Slus_12345 so be carefull about the cases and it will work
fine. - (THE CASE IS THE SAME)
Another reason can be that cwcheat can't read the id of your game because the developers
used a strange way to store the executable or they used some other not standard way.
if you see an incomplete id in the cwcheat screen for example a name, or someting else and
not the id in this format XXXX_##### (eg SLUS_12345) most probably you have this problem
if so go to the cwcheat menu and enable the dump function. then go back to game and press
[] (square) then compress the MEMDUMP0.dmp you will find in the memorystick root and send
it to me at this email: weltall (at) consoleworld (dot) org -(NOTHING LIKE THIS SHOWS)
And these games still don't show cheats

2. Some Games don't start with cwcheats enable in the recovery (the psp remains with a black screen and you can still enter in cwcheats though and still no cheats show), when cwcheats is turned off they run as usual

3. When i try psx games cwcheats doesn't even load up by pressing the select button.

Sorry for all these questions but I really don't know what to do, hope you can help
Thankx Alot

1- it's wrong following the file for memory cards for cheats the id can be found in the system.cnf file in the root of the psx cdrom

2-you must say whose and what version of cwcheat. this problem should be fixed since 0.1.7 so check your other plugins scep can't live with cwcheat for example as it uses too much kernel ram to live with it. For now there aren't known solutions

3-keep it pressed longer, check it's enabled in recovery the pops prx and that's it's the correct one. plus check you are loading it after popsloader plugin and that your memory stick isn't a problematic one like lexar datel or fake ones. this is a cf problem which can't be fixed on my side
