Last night I was using CEP on FFT and it was working fine. got the quick lvl up and the jp up cheats working for a few days now. And this morning I ran the pSX 1.12 loaded FFT and loaded my saved state. Then I turned the CEP on and I did everything accordingly and everytime i click search to find the base address it says process not found. And just last night it was working fine, any ideas to what the problem is?

As a last resort, you can manually select the process from a list of all your processes. On the "Process" tab, click the "Advance" button, and in the first scrollbox, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list. "psxfin.exe" should be one of the last processes. Select that and try again. It should work fine then.

Umm... <.< >.> ... That's what we call a serious problem. Unless somebody here has actually heard of some bug like this. Have you done virus scans and such? And now that we're on a topic relating to your computer... what version of Windows do you have? Do other things you run show up without problems? And have you tried restarting the computer? My computer likes to restart itself after a day or two of being on (it blames the anti-virus software, but I've switched anti-virus programs to no solution), and when it does that, there seems to be some odd little problems I come across.

Eh,Restart it is. Well there is this one problem that my brother tells me not to worry about. I have windows XP home edition and when it comes to the account screen it an error thing shows up about I.EXPLORER something like that and that it cant read it. I click ok , log in and once everythings started up alot of of pop ups come up saying something like symantic has encountered an error must close and then the option to send error report and a few other ones pop up just like this one so yeah i got tons of virus not sure how to get rid of them , I guess its something to be worried about then xD

Most definitely. In your case, a full reinstall of Windows may be required, and I don't think your brother is taking seriously enough the virus problem. He won't realize how bad a problem it is until he loses anything/everything on the computer that is irreplaceable (as once happened to me before I knew about such things as firewalls and internet worms). As a full reinstall is tedious and may very well be difficult/impossible in this case... you should at least download AVG (or any other highly rated free anti-virus program... I use NOD32 currently, which seems to work quite well, just as AVG did), and install the free version. Norton is a really great program, but it seems to have too many problems and seems to be targeted by more internet pests than any other program.
I wouldn't even bother recommending a System Restore, as that will almost certainly not work in your case. You sound like you're starting to have some fatal problems with Windows, and a fresh reinstall is going to end up becoming your only option. But for now, getting rid of the viruses and keeping them out until then is what you should concentrate on.

No problem. I've been through the problem of viruses before, and I'm aware from experiencing them just how much damage they can do without you noticing until much later. And having to reinstall Windows (any version) is basically a time-consuming pain in the ass. So hopefully things will at least run better after you clean out most/all the viruses.

Lol i restarted and the cep is working, i'll still taking the safety measure of getting those viruses out. Didnt know they can really screw the computer up in the long run

It's not just screwing your computer up. Other functions of malware include enabling your computer to be externally controlled (without your knowledge) for use in such things as DoS attacks, and the theft of all personal details stored on your system - which is not just what you've made a record of yourself. Any time you use a credit card, input a password, access a porn site - all this information is logged and can be read by someone who's gained access to your controller.
FWIW I think that a good firewall (and I mean good) is far more important than a virus checker - not that that isn't important too, particularly if you're lazy in your security. In the past, I've run Windows without a virus checker, but I'd never run without a firewall. A virus checker safeguards you against stuff that (if you have a good firewall) you can guard against yourself if you're careful, but a firewall safeguards you against stuff that can attack your system without you knowing.
Not, as I said, that I'd recommend running without a virus checker (in Windows), particularly if you're not security aware.
Personally, it's so much nicer now I'm running Linux...

So... nobody has anything to contribute on this situation of disc images and original discs using different codes? I guess that's maybe a good thing, since I'm the one who noticed the problem and hence have the best idea of what exactly to test.
I'll see if I can start coming up with some constants to possibly expediate a solution to this problem once and for all. Good thing I have the time to do the required testing for this.
I'm actually almost surprised by the lack of popularity that this program has come to. Days were when everybody was begging and pleading for a way to cheat on their games, and since getting this thing, that seems to have changed a bit. I guess people are a bit thrown off by the fact that codes many times don't work, but that's why I thought finding a solution to that might excite some people. What I'm *hoping* the solution doesn't end up being, is the need to create a database of games listing the necessary offsets required to make non-working codes work when using disc images. Though I guess that would certainly be a better solution than none at all.

It could well be that the lack of interest is because most of the people who want to use it have it working happily now. They'll only post when something goes wrong...

I would suppose so. But I highly doubt it, to be honest. For it to be working well for people, they would have to be either playing games from disc, or playing bin/cue images of games that (it would seem from my experiments so far) don't really make use of subcode data. Because that's what I'm starting to think. I'm thinking that the codes not working may be due to how pSX handles not having subcode data to read when it's supposed to. Which wouldn't necessarily be a fault of pSX... obviously a PS1 would have no need to read a game without it since all original discs would obviously not be lacking it.
Either way, I hope to have more detailed information soon. At this point, I don't have enough to really present it.
