Alternately you may have a multi-game "cheat.db" file installed, in which case the cheat menu should allow you to extract cheats for the current game into such separate '*.ini' file, though the ability to do this may differ with different releases. (Early ones crash if the cheat.db file doesn't contain cheats for the current game.) Whatever method you use to create the '*.ini' files, you must have such a file with cheats for the current game, in order to use any cheats for it. (obviously...) eg: The game "Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness [US]" has the game ID code "ULUS-10308", so its cheat file needs to be named "ULUS10308.ini". Such cheat files should be stored in a subfolder named "cheats" located either in the main folder of PPSSPP (on a PC), or inside the folder "/sdcard/PSP/" (on an Android device). You may have to create the "cheats" subfolder yourself too, since some early versions of the cheat implementation didn't do that. If you want the latest and best cheat implementation you'll need to switch to using the beta releases (updated several times per day) instead of the gold release (updated at stable points of development).

I have the newest non gold ppsspp on my laptop, and it doesn't have any problem activating the cheat menu. My only problem is the gold version of ppsspp on my Desktop won't show the cheat menu after I copy&paste the '*.ini' file from my Laptop to my Desktop ppssppgold cheats folder.Unfortunately my laptop is in no condition to be playing anything anytime soon after it fell from my working desk. |

I'm sorry to hear about your laptop accident. I suppose the risk of such accidents is part of the price we pay for portability... As for the desktop computer, I think you just stated its main problem, which is simply that you are using the 'gold' release of PPSSPP, whose cheat implementation is obsolete compared to that in the current betas. (New improvements are added daily, with some crucial ones having been added quite recently.) I suggest you install the latest beta as well on that computer, simply by unzipping it into a separate folder somewhere and copying any gamesaves you need from the old setup into this new one. (Just proper gamesaves but NO savestates, as they won't be compatible.) When installed this way there should be no conflict between versions. You can have any number of them installed in parallel (useful for experiments), so you should be able to go back to the gold version whenever you like, though I see no real reason to do so. The main reason to buy the gold version is not to obtain some advantage it gives, but to give support to PPSSPP development. It's great that you've done so, but for the latest emulator features you should stick to the daily betas. Best regards: dlanor |

Hii dlanor
i have same problem with mc2011 but on my cases it's only crash anyway i've tried every solution for my cases on this thread, at least no one can solve my problem. and i just tried make it little short, what i think the code is much crisis core ff7 cheat looks like PHP Code: _C0 0 Sniper Flees then i replace with the only one what i need and thats work PHP Code: _C0 9.999.999 Gil ppsspp can't load cheat when *.ini files is to big ? or to much code there ? short code *.ini size is 1kb & long code *.ini is 12kb nadia |

Code: and i just tried make it little short, what i think the code is much ----- code list not requoted ----- It's interesting to note that as usual this cheat list shows signs of having been collected by someone who doesn't really know what he's doing (possibly even a 'bot program), as it contains tons of duplicate codes. Quite early in that list you have three "VIT" or "Vitality" codes with identical patch lines, and two of them even have identical cheat titles. And if you look further on in the file you will find even more repetitions of the very same or very similar codes (some maximize a stat to 250 while others use 255). I mention this mainly as it offers a simple way to cut down significantly on the size without losing anything, just by removing all duplicates. I made a number of tests with "FF7: Crisis Core" to check your problem, though I guess similar results would apply to any game. Test 1: Using your cheat list as-is of appx 12K ==> Locks up PPSSPP Test 2: Using a cheat list I extracted from a cheat.db to appx 15K ==> Locks up PPSSPP Test 3: Using first half of your cheat list, so appx 6K ==> Works fine Test 4: Using second half of your cheat list, so appx 6K ==> Works fine The last two tests prove that there is no syntax error causing the problem, so it appears to be just a size limitation. I've not yet determined the precise limit, but I have successfully used some cheat files a bit larger than 6K too. ----- Some tests later ----- I've now tested the same things on a somewhat newer beta version (v0.9.1-1375), and the problem still remains although the emulator no longer crashes. Instead it displays an error message when trying to launch a game with such a cheat file present (if cheats are enabled in the global flag). This message simply states: "Error loading file: error reading file", so it's rather misleading. There's no read error involved but simply a size issue. I then made a few tests to attempt determining the precise limit, only to find a surprising result. With your cheat file (both halves of which work), the emulator refuses game load with that error message even when I've cut down the total file size to less than that which works fine for some of my other cheat files. This leads me to believe that the size problem is not just a problem of the size of the file, but rather a problem of the number of cheats in it. Apparently many small cheats cause the problem even with a smaller file size than that which works for another cheat collection, using fewer cheats of more code lines each. Since your cheat file contains a huge amount of small duplicate cheats, removing the unneeded ones could very well bring you down to (or at least close to) the significant limit. Since I don't really play Crisis Core, you'll have to experiment with this on your own too, to find an ideal compromise for the file size and cheat count that works with the emulator. And in any case you should update to a version of the emulator that detects the problem before crashing. This is also likely to bring other benefits due to recent emulation improvements. And with this I wish you the best of luck Nadia. Best regards: dlanor |

Changing it to a vector would be much too troublesome at this point without a lot of time to fix it up. Also fixed crashing when there is a blank line in the cheat file. I believe the above is the current limit for number of cheat codes. |
