using codebreaker/armax code in pcsx2

PCSX2 is a PS2 emulator that enable us to play GT4 in a PC. Currently it can run at 10fps at very fast computer. We can race, but very slow. Only usefull for hacking. Or maybe as screen saver.


Codebreaker and ARMAX is cheat tool in the form of cheat disc.


This intruction is a derivative of :
Convert Code Breaker Cheats to PNACH Files!

PNACH files is patch needed to make a game run properly on PCSX2. If you download PCSX2 this file will be included too.

get the other software needed at
http://www.codemasters-project.net/portal-english/apportal/download.php?list.2

I use maxconvert_v0_71.rar


I use the code from this:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=57278


I use PAL so I use Some conversions by RogsR34UK (AR2 PAL)

The master code is:
0E3C7DF2 1853E59E
EE43ECFE BC04AD86

After converting to RAW I get:
D0C281FC 5CAA4A1B
F05B1200 005B1203


And I use All car are free code:
All Cars Are Free
DE88C4FE E0B99B83
DEBB4346 BCABC3B0
DEBA6992 E0AB9B83


Which after converting I get:
20163A00 24100000
2043B348 0002282D
20448D1C 24020000



It turn out that I have to change the first address digit of master code to $a to make it work. This is all my pnach file look like:
Code: 
gametitle=Gran Turismo 4 PAL SCES51719

patch=1,EE,2043B348,word,0002282D

I am happy that I can finally buy the tuning part and car to my heart content :D. I feel stupid not notice this before.
For those of you wondering how I can play GT4 in a PC, visit www.pcsx2.net, the forum too.
I use pcsx29-icc-050810-sse2.exe.

Hey sucahyo,...
What exactly do you mean by a fast computer??
What are the specs of this PC?(video card, ram , cpu)
Click to expand...
even the current fastest desktop pc will not run GT4 at 30fps. for faster play, it need >32MB video card which support directx 9, dual processor or dual core or hyperthread is preferable.
 
lthiele
how do you find out how good your video card, sound card, etc are?
Click to expand...
The difference between good and bad video for pcsx2 is quality and some speed. But the most compatible play is by using software mode, the bad quality one. On correct video hardware, the speed can increase to 6 times of software mode.
Well I just use PC to make it easier to do some hacking, I play GT4 using onboard video :P.
 
[URGENT] Sucahyo please you've got to help me with 0.9 and 0.9.1 i can only use one graphics plugin and i've tried all your exes and i can't use any graphics plugin it keeps saying error opening gs plugin i've subscribed to emuforums and asked there and no help so far pleeeeeease help or i can't play gt4[/URGENT]
 
lthiele
now gt4 crashes after the screen that says "all cars included in this game..." and the fps goes to about 100
Click to expand...
Is that first screen? That means the skip video patch not working, try copy the "patches" dir on your pcsx2 installation dir to my exe dir.

Try the gssoft first.
 
make sure you disable all advance option (default) and using interpreter mode. if this not working I will post my full file on monday
 
i had that but lately it comes up with that thing that says it has encountered a problem and needs to close
 
What is interperter mode?

Am i supposed to have the skip intro movie patch and the skip videos patch? or just the skip videos? cause i only had skip videos
 
interpreter mode is more compatible cpu config mode.


about skip code, it's weird that the skip code for ntsc and pal version is the same in my directory :confused:, even the chinese and japanese version too.
Code: 
gametitle=Gran Turismo 4 PAL SCES51719
//skip Videos
patch=1,EE,00100D84,word,24100001
//skip intro movie
patch=1,EE,00a50aa4,word,00000000


gametitle=Gran Turismo 4 NTSC U/C SCUS97328
//skip Videos
patch=1,EE,00100D84,word,24100001
