Only the topmost cheat works

RE: Only the topmost cheat works
PPSSPP on windows have a debug menu with different features can be very useful for creating all kinds of hacks including cheats, most notably disassembly.
It was not made with creating cheats in mind, so while for everything else it's very powerful tool, if you would just need to find any values to start with, external tool like Cheat Engine(again only for windows) is best for that.

Notes about using CE with PPSSPP:
- you have to select "MEM_MAPPED" in edit->settings->scan settings otherwise you will only find mirrors, not psp memory itself,
- PPSSPP allocates PSP memory at the time you run first game(first for each run of emulator), rarely re-allocating it after changing games, either way this means it will be at different place most of the time, PPSSPP log console will show very early when running the first game where exactly PSP memory was allocated, you need to add 8mb to that address to get user memory start which will be address 0x0 for CWcheat or 0x08800000 in disassembly,
- after finding where PSP memory is allocated you should also limit your scan search in CE, normally it's as mentioned earlier 8mb to the address found in log console to get scan start and additional 24mb to that to get scan stop, that will make the searches much quicker and avoid scanning memory mirrors and other stuff which you don't want to mess with,
- don't use CE freeze on ppsspp, it's known to be buggy and show start showing "??" or some random values,
- CE debugging features only supports x86/x86_64 and can't be used for emulated games at all(that's why ppsspp debuging features are soo important).


All platforms ppsspp runs on can use cwcheats, but since pretty much everything to make them is only on windows, I wouldn't recommend making cheats using ppsspp without having a pc with that OS.
