For example... I know for sure the Summon Night 5 cheats work. People have mentioned they work. However, each time I click "import from cheat.db" the game freezes. Furthermore, I've tried editing the cwcheat where I just have the name of the game with the game I.D., without the cheat codes, and when I click "import from cheat.db" it still freezes. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

I have personally found that using the "import from cheat.db" option to be unreliable. You will have to edit in the cwcheats manually.

To do this, you must:

1. Find the serial number of the game in question. If you don't know it off hand, first enable the log console before loading your game, load your game, and immediately press F8 (by default). You should then look for a line of code in the code that looks similar to this (title may vary):

Quote:PSPLoaders.cpp:168 I[LOAD]: ULUS10277 : Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles

*Emphasis added

2. Open up notepad in windows and start by writing the following as the header of the document:

Quote:_G Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles [US]

3. Insert your cwcheats in the correct format (one line being the code description with the prefix _C0, and the other being the code itself with the prefix _L, repeating for each line in the code.)

Note: If you need help in creating cwcheats in windows, please refer to the patchwork tutorial found on page 68. Cheat Engine is required for this method to work.

4. Save the file as an ini file(if you don't know how to do that, use the drop down menu when you save your file to select all files, delete the file name that they give you, and type in the .ini extension when you save your file). Make sure that your file name is the serial number(that you obtained in step one) with the .ini extension, or otherwise your codes won't register with the program. Also, your save location must be in /memstick/PSP/cheats, or else it again won't register with the program.

Hope that helps.
