Hopefully I don't get shot for this thread...  Instead of just saying "I want cheat support for pSX", I'd like to see some expansion on the idea, ie, what should the hopefully-eventual cheat support for pSX entail. I think the basics are pretty much a given: being able to enter cheats for any of the different Playstation cheat devices that were out there: Game Shark, Action Replay Pro, whatever else there might be. Something I really love about virtualnes is the ability to search the hex so you can find & create your own cheats. This gives any cheat device a lot more power than just entering preexisting codes. The ability to instantly turn codes on/off when the game is running is always nice. Ok, the train of thought has already run dry. Maybe somebody else has something though.  |

Indeed, this thread should be fine. I'm going to lock the feature requests thread now, and having one thread for discussion of this feature is what I was actually looking for  |

This is definitely something I'd like to see. I'm cheap and like to use cheats (but that's just how I enjoy my games). I briefly looked into that "CEP" program in another thread here, and immediately felt overwhelmed. An in-emulator trainer would be marvelous.

Give the thread a quick read through, thedigitalnomad, and particularly, look at Gamesoul Master's instructions included in the download in this post. It even worked for me...  Try it with v1.9 of the emulator; I'm not sure if it'll work with 1.10. Edit: whoops! Finally remembered to include link!  |

Just to make sure it's not neglected... My understanding is a cheat engine will be added to pSX, this is a great new and it would be even greater if it was compatible with pec (psx emu cheater) cheat database format. We could start with a huge database of cheats right away. Any chance you could consider implementing this compatibility to the cheat engine? Regards |

As a 'veteran' MAME cheater I'd be only too happy to see a cheat engine in pSX. For whatever reason, I just couldn't ever get into [pec] whatsoever. If possible, would there be any way of making it in-game via a menu (if it's in full-screen mode), rather than quitting out of the game as per others? Something I really love about virtualnes is the ability to search the hex so you can find & create your own cheats. This gives any cheat device a lot more power than just entering preexisting codes. Well said. I will never understand why there wasn't such an option in the two Nintendo 64 emulators. My only 'request' is to make sure it isn't limited to 8-bit values, or in a binary (hex edit only) file! I only hope it ends up Notepad friendly for quick editing/optimising without the hassle of opening up the emulator and game each time - I tend to do this with MAME rather than use the interface to add/save items these days. Editing cheats for SNES9x is purely evil! While the [pec] file format is possibly one of the best around, besides the all-conquering MAME/MESS cheat.dat, the cheat interface wasn't all that friendly the last time I used it. I think the 'default' cheat file would need to be maintained by someone so 'useless' cheats aren't left in there. Such as the title screen text cheat for Tekken 3 I came across in [pec], and the numerous copied and pasted NTSC to PAL cheats which obviously don't work at all. I think that last bit just about summed up what Ultima meant. You never know, Pugsy's cheats forum might even be able to give us a hand here (and maybe a board near HazeMD and MESS) if a half decent cheat engine is put in. |

Here is what pSX Author had to say about making an in-game menu...

Bump. You could always remake the GUI using alternatives to GDI; how did we live back in the 90s with ZSNES, NeoRAGE and the like?

Hey, I still use ZSNES, as it's still the best SNES emulator out there... |

Me too - in Linux. So easy to install - 1.51's in the Ubuntu Gutsy and Hardy repositories.
