CheatsCW + Networking Multiplayer question

[xboxmandude]

I had a question about using cheats for fps and multiplayer...
for eg: if I used the 30 fps cheat in mgs peace walker it doesnt let me connect to a game or start a game, however without the cheat i can play multiplayer just fine.

is it possible to run cheats and use networking lan connection for games at the same time or could this just be a specific compatibility issue?

Thanks

No. Many cheats will break multiplayer. FPS cheats will always break it. No exceptions.

Not true, in fact it's made up bs. It's more than possible to run cheats in multiplayer althrough many simple cheats sucks and typically work only in one specific game mode which most of the time is singleplayer.
FPS patches can also be used with multiplayer however in that case, most of the time all players will have to use same cheat. Not always required but running the game at different fps this will cause desync problems leading to disconnect or other player seeing you faster or moving weirdly teleporting around, that really all depends on game.

Sorry, Luna, but lets call unstable stuff what it is. Unstable.

I have seen first hand how idiots screw up multiplayer by using fps cheats.

Thanks guys, I did try running both games with the fps cheat but it wouldn't connect the game works fine without the cheat if u want to play multiplayer.
Just wanted to play with a smoother fps?

If you want to play MGS:PW with smoother fps, just buy MGS:PP it's the same game, just bigger, better, prettier and very smooth, it also has very small hardware requirements and continues PW storyline, it's also very cheap to get with all dlc's and prologue as it's commonly on big steam sales.

MGS:PW fps patches aren't unstable, they are simply broken and unfinished, yes even the 30fps one destroys game's timing and messes up physics modding the game into something else as it no longer plays as PW was designed to run;p. I never cared about PW multiplayer as I got PP right after finishing it, so at best I can guess those patches are either timing out too quickly or run some threads at wrong order.

That being said I still call it BS to say FPS patches or cheats break multiplayer.
Only unfinished patches that weren't tested enough does that and even among those not all of them, ie MOHH fps patch is unfinished yet it works even if actuvated separately by only 1 person.
Also only really poor cheats have a chance of easily breaking stuff, but most of the time simply doesn't work without having much effect on a game, ie hp freeze is like that, but god mode or hp regen cheats used for pretty much same effect are typically safe and mp compatible.

Edit: Had to disable smilies stupid MGS:PP / MGS:PW has :P in them.

Thats the thing, Luna. You even contradicted yourself just now. [cheats break stuff, but cheats dont break stuff] So which one is it?
Sure, 100% working and safe cheats will be... Safe.
But are you going to guarantee to all the PPSSPP users that all cheats in existence are safe? No, because they are not. And PPSSPP cheats are a hot burning mess.
Many are unstable at best, gamebreaking at most.
So it is not very smart to call BS on people saying that cheats break multiplayer, because they do.
