FAQs- Please Read before posting

[EvilMan_89]

ok, this is to cut down on spam. so:

1. What is an AR Max and how do i get one?
A: It's a cheating device and u buy it at Gamestop, Eb Games, Walmart, or other places that sell game stuff. Should cost about $40.

2. What are other cheating devices?
A: Codebreaker, Gameshark. A Codebreaker costs about $20 and I dont' know about Gameshark.

3. My codes keep getting deleted, what's wrong?
A: Your flash drive may be on Lock mode without u knowing it. u should be able to tell if it's Locked cuz it shows a symbol that has a locked padlock, unlocked is....hmmm....an unlocked padlock symbol.

4. How do I make my own codes?
A: You have to have special programs which aren't available here. you gotta get them somewhere else.

5. It says "cheat is for wrong game!" or it says "Invalid Code"
A: if it says "cheat is for wrong game" then then ur entering codes in the wrong game (which isn't usually the case) or the code isn't made correctly, or u have the wrong Master Code. if it says "Invalid Code" that means YOU messed up entering the code somewhere.

6. Is it safe to save with codes on?
A: It depends on what kind of cheats you are using.

7. What is PAL?
A: PAL refers to the European region games. NTSC refers to North American region games. So if you're living in Europe, you should use PAL type codes.

8. Can I use a cheat device on import games?
A: Definitely! It works on ALL games that are hackable (and yes, there ARE very rare exceptions of unhackable games).

9. Can I use my cheats on backup games or import games with the use of Swap Magic? If so, how?
A: Yes you can!!!! All you have to do is put in cheat device first, make sure your Master Code begins with a 9 if you're using Codebreaker, then select cheats, put in Swap Magic INSTEAD of the game, then do the normal method you use to boot up the game. Once the game is booted up, you should notice the cheats took effect :)

10. Will my cheat devices work for Playstation 3?
A: So far only Codebreaker has been known to work. However with Codebreaker, you cannot use the Flash drives and you MUST enter the codes by hand. Also, when you hit Start Game, do NOT hit X to make the disc tray go back in/close. Close it by pressing the button or switch on the PS3 and then wait a few seconds. Now this part is crucial. Press AND HOLD X until the game starts, if you simply tap X the game will NOT start for unknown reasons.

11. How do I convert codes?
http://www.codemasters-project.net/portal-english/apportal/download.php?view.6


download Max Convert fromt that link above. i noticed ALOT of ppl ask how to convert codes, so this is how! don't worry, it's free of spyware and that kind of crap and it's VERY small. no installation needed. and since this is a Kingdom Hearts fansite, i'm SURE most ppl will be converting codes for KH2, so here is the Game ID for KH2

Game ID: 0911

PAL Version: 09C9

will post a tutorial in this thread soon. note that Codebreaker and Gameshark v2 users DO NOT need the Game ID when converting to those. also, note that it does NOT convert from region to region. but u CAN use it if u are in another
region.

here is a picture to show you how to convert a code

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/3089/maxconverttutorialol9.png

btw the ppl at Codemasters Project made this

EDIT: added CB2Crypt, which allows you to convert from CB7+ to RAW

http://www.codemasters-project.net/portal-english/apportal/download.php?view.40

click on Encrypt to make RAW in the CB7+ format (no reason to do this, all Codebreaker and Gameshark can use RAW). click on Decrypt to make it RAW format.

THE BELOW IS FOR GAMECUBE ONLY

http://www.codemasters-project.net/portal-english/apportal/download.php?view.28

don't know the details on how to use as i dont' have a gamecube

If you have more questions dont' hesitate to ask here. Remember, this topic is NOT for Code Requests.

12. How do I use Action Replay Max?
Here's a link to a guide I made on the basics on AR Max (short for Action Replay Max) and yes my username there and on youtube IS bloodyjab.

http://www.khinsider.com/khinsider/action-replay-codes.html

Xendran's Terminology
For any new members who are having trouble understanding what we say, here are some basic terms to help you get started!


RAW Format - A code used for Codebreaker or Gameshark. it looks like this
00000000 00000000

an example would be something like
11CAF209 00000859

ARMAX Format - A code used for Action Replay MAX cheat devices. looks like this

0000-0000-00000
0000-0000-00000

An Example would be
HJ25-4429-0JK5
RB4C-2QBQ-BUAU8 (older members will recognize this ancient line XD)

Coder - A person who hacks codes for the game, they wil have Orange names if they are "official" but there are a few unofficial coders around.

ELF File - The file on a ps2 Disc that stores all of the memory. using cheats modifies this temporarily, but CAN NOT harm your game.

Save Dump - A Memory dump of the information that is stored in a save poin.

Live Dump - A memory dump of every address in use of the game. can only be performed on a PS2 Emulator

Jokers- An additional line added to the top of a code that assigns it to a certain button. Originally found by Joker on the Gameshark boards.

How to use MaxConvert in OS X?

1. Download DarWine (http://thisismyinter.net/?p=47 Select the Stable one! We're not taking any risks here).
2. Unpack it with CTRL + Click "Archive Utility.app"/what ever you want to use. If it came as mounted, then ignore the earlier step. If it came as .PKG, launch it.
3. Once installed drag the DarWines folder to Applications (Macintosh HD/Applications/).

At this point you'd better to download MaxConvert and unpack it. Once you've done this, continue to step 4.

4. Launch WineHelper.app.
5. Now click "Application - Open..." (Or click CMD/Apple + O). Browse to MaxConverts exe. Don't worry about other windows what open, you won't use them. Just minimize those (CMD/Apple + M).

A little note here. To quit DarWine, use CMD/Apple + Q first to quit WineHelper, then to quit X11. This is the proper method to shutdown DarWine. Don't care about any possible error messages, those aren't critical.

6. Continue installation progress. Once complete, I recommend to move the .EXE to some simple place where it is always easy to find.
7. Launch MaxConvert. This might take some time when launching it for the first time. You can ignore FreeType Font-missing error since it's too hard to install on OS X. Seriously, just ignore the error on log-window.
8. At this point you'd better to hide other windows what you won't be using. Launch Textedit.app to help you to get clear of text what you paste to it. To copy/cut/paste in MaxConvert do this:

Right Click on the left side and choose "Copy/Cut/Paste". You can't copy/cut/paste to the MaxConvert with CMD/Apple + C/X/V, it doesn't work. However, you can copy/cut/paste from MaxConvert to Textedit.app. Sure, this does take some more time and you need to be careful when doing multiple codes but it is worth it.

You're all set! Now you can convert your on Mac OS X as well (e.g. from RAW to ARMAX/vice versa). Just remember to use correct values (09C9 PAL and 0911 NTSC).

Hope this helps anyone who's on OS X and has had problems to convert codes on it (like me). :) In Linux, I think you use Wine. It's same process but DarWine exchanges to Wine.

OK. a lot of people ask us how we port codes, its quite complicated, so listen closely....

the only way to do it easily is with the help of THIS (http://www.codemasters-project.net/portal-english/apportal/request.php?3). download it and prepare for the phases.

1. okay. this example includes the KHII (NTSC) to KH2 (PAL.) where it says "get offset" type in FFFFFB00 (5 Fs and a B00)

2.In code A, copy in the RAW NTSC code, and hit convert. done...

[NOTE: this ONLY works about 50% of the time...]

i dont know any other OFFSETS, so ask evilman or any other dude who knows his stuff for those...

[Dredica]

What program should you open it with?

[EvilMan_89]

i'll post the more accurate way soon

[JLHack7]

i'll post the more accurate way soon

Which involves PS2dis, so its a hell of a lot harder unless you know what you're doing... T_T

[Dredica]

This one isn't that great, Evil_Man's is better. ( The one he posted)

[carey]

How to port ELF to ELF and Dump to Dump:



1. open 2 PS2dis's
(one for each region's ELF or dump)

2. type in the address into both PS2dis's
(remember to switch the first digit in the address to a "0")

3. look at the the value of the code
(from whichever code your porting from)

4. look for that same value or something very similar in the ELF/Dump your porting to.
(remember most pal games are + from the NTSC games so you would go down and most NTSC games are - from pal games so you would go up )

5. once you find a the exact value or something very similar in the ELF/Dump your porting to, thats your code.




Important!
if you code takes up 5 or more digits in the value you replace the "0" in the address of the code to a "2"

if you code takes up 3-4 digits in the value you replace the "0" in the address of the code to a "1"

if you code takes up 0-2 digits in the value you keep the the address the same way it is in the PS2dis




Also 9/10 you will REQUIRE a dump since only about 4-5mb of the game data is in the ELF and the game uses 32mb once it's actually running. and some games are multi-ELFed or have hardely anything in the ELF (Jak 3 for example) games like that must have a dump in order to port or hack




any questions
=P

thx.now i finally know how to port :) :)

[Ultima Wepon]

ok?what if u don't want that emport if u already have the port. how do u take it of?

[EvilMan_89]

how to port more accurately.

YOU NEED
Ps2dis
ELFs from both regions
A Code to search for

First, go to the line of code in the region for the code thats ALREADY known

Example: KH2 (NTSC) at the line for "Drive w/o Supporting Characters"

http://img115.imageshack.us/my.php?image=porttutorialwh7.png

Now that you see it, you know what you're looking for! So you wna look at some codes from both regions. See if the PAL codes tend to be LESS in value or MORE in value for the address. if it's less, you wna keep hitting Page UP until you find it, if it's more, keep hitting Page Down. now this part is crucial, you HAVE to keep an eye out for similar data.

ok, now look at this, the PAL picture, notice anything familiar?

PAL line for "Drive w/o Supporting Characters"
http://img85.imageshack.us/my.php?image=palportzl7.png

now all that seems to be a pain in the a$$ right? well.....luckily there is an easier way except it DOES NOT work all the time.

It's called "Pattern Search". So go to Edit, and then click on Find Pattern. Click the box that says "As Hex String". Then type in the VALUE DATA in this fashion backwards. THis is gonna take a while to sink in so look it over a few times. For example: the value data for Drive w/o Supporting Characters is

0274100B

so what you would type to SEARCH for that is: 0B 10 74 02

you would type each byte sequence backwards (bytes are 2 digits btw)

so the PS2dis will search for that value data for you! however, the reason why this wont' always work is becuz sometimes the value data has changed from region to region. here is an example of the same line of code in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix+

Drive w/o Supporting Characters (FM+)
http://img85.imageshack.us/my.php?image=finalmixle1.png

as you can see the data value has changed. also, the code doesn't follow the same pattern as the other codes in the game! the other codes usually come BEFORE the codes in NTSC KH2, but this one actually comes after! becuz of these changes, i had a hard time porting the code, but luckily for you, i did, but i had to spend hours searching using Page Down and Page UP.

so i hope that helps you to port, it's MUCH better to use Save Dumps than ELFs becuz you will be able to port more. but it's HARD to get your hands on dumps from both regions tho.

[HerCrazySelf]

Ok well im an absolute new be on this stuff, and not doing so well on it.
Anyway, i would like to know which device would you say is the best one to buy

Codebreaker
Gameshark
or
AR Max.

[NeoCloudstrife]

uhh okay:

1.) I think the later versions (6+) of codebreaker take raw codes, and if your going to get into this stuff, RAW codes are SO easy to put in and mess around with, so i think this is the best

2.) from what i have heard, gameshark is the worst... so i would say dont buy it, but hey, i may be wrong :D

3.) teh most reliable, but at a slight cost. EVERY code you enter has to be converted to a special format and if its not done 100% correctly, armax will hate you, lol :D (i.e, it wont work)

[DjC]

ill tell u right now DONT BE AN IDIOT LIKE ME AND BY GAMESHARK! its not as bad as i make it seem but it isnt as stable and sometimes it wont load so u have to restart the gameshark. and u can corrupt ur mem card, but i havent so u'll be good. ur best bet is ar max and get max convert to convert the raw codes to ar max. if u need help go ahead and pm me

[XGamerkey]

Can someone please tell me how to use ARMAX on KH2FM+.

[EvilMan_89]

thsi belongs in the FAQ topic. hang on i'll merge the topics. and that question is alrady answered there :)

change the ps3 part ,only codebreaker works with ps3 and when you press load file for kh2 thats the only time you have to hold x down

[Lordchocolate]

Hey you guys, I was wondering if I could use codebreaker on KH2 Final Mix if I am using Swap Magic 3.6 to play it? I don't have 3.8 or the coder version, so will the codes still work? I am a newb at this whole code thing.

wait so it's going to be like 9 EC878540 142F1110

[shadowofchaos]

so the PS2dis will search for that value data for you! however, the reason why this wont' always work is becuz sometimes the value data has changed from region to region. here is an example of the same line of code in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix+

Drive w/o Supporting Characters (FM+)
http://img85.imageshack.us/my.php?image=finalmixle1.png

as you can see the data value has changed. also, the code doesn't follow the same pattern as the other codes in the game! the other codes usually come BEFORE the codes in NTSC KH2, but this one actually comes after! becuz of these changes, i had a hard time porting the code, but luckily for you, i did, but i had to spend hours searching using Page Down and Page UP.

so i hope that helps you to port, it's MUCH better to use Save Dumps than ELFs becuz you will be able to port more. but it's HARD to get your hands on dumps from both regions tho.

Wait.... (Sorry for gravedigging, I need to learn this....)

I'm following you so far.... but if the pattern changed.... how'd you guys port it?
It's because I want to port from KH2 to Final Mix with the loads of codes that Erkz did like the Left-handed Sora (Mostly "just for fun" codes)......

[roxazthelight]

what is "get offset" code when i want to convert from Kh2 to Kh2FM+?

[Darkest Blade]

Hey i got a question, when i input my Codebreaker disk, it says Disk Read Error, and it is as clean as a whistle, i keep puttin it in, and that junk keeps happenin..... eventually after enough times it works! WHY!?!?!

[EvilMan_89]

Hey i got a question, when i input my Codebreaker disk, it says Disk Read Error, and it is as clean as a whistle, i keep puttin it in, and that junk keeps happenin..... eventually after enough times it works! WHY!?!?!

it's probably your PS2, if you use it ALOT like me, the laser lens will wear out every about 3 years and you're gonna have to send it to Sony to get it repaired.

[Xendran]

d000000000000d i forgot.
edit the riku code part of my terminology

[Sephiroth&Cloud]

Can someone please post the ELFs for KH2 NTSC and KH2 PAL
Thank you in advance

[*Hippie Jesus*]

the program thingy mabob u told me to download at the othersite didn't work can u link one that would work?

[Roxas677]

OK.....SO....... you know how in the final battle with xemnas when u become riku he gets that cool commands menu? could you guys imprpve the code so that it uses that command menu instead of the shortcut menu? cuase the shortcuts menu kinda sucks.......no offense (and im talking about the play as riku code):stupid:

your asking in the wrong place and the best code for riku is t-stance riku but other wise pm DjC he knows alot about it

[Zook]

EDIT: Nevermind, question answered.

[Roxas677]

i waana become a coder pleez can i

[EvilMan_89]

i waana become a coder pleez can i

the answer is no, you haven't helped out around here at all -_-

[Sora 2541]

Hey uh what are "flag mods" used in this video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvPrnwLssB4
I'm sorry I'm new to code breaker.
It explanes it but I don't under stand...

[Dueling Keyblades]

How do you become a coder anyway???

[Erkz]

How do you become a coder anyway???
Via a very undemocratic process which is immune to the moaning and groaning of people who lack skill. ^_^

[Dueling Keyblades]

Are you saying I lack skill!!

[AntiWeapon]

Are you saying I lack skill!!

Uhh probebly. Since we've never actully seen you do anything coder worthy.

[DjC]

to me it doesnt matter if im a coder or if im coder material, as long as i get to do wat i love (codeing) im fine, besides dont try and please the coders just so u can become one, and the coders we have now r just fine, it isnt neccesary to keep adding coders, but dont get effended wen they say ur not coder material, they have to do their job, meaning they cant take pitty on u because u want to be a coder, they must do wats best for the code vault, at least thats how i think of it :)

[Dueling Keyblades]

Well I started coding not that long agow and I will start making vides and a cuple of codes.And I dont lake skill

[EvilMan_89]

to me it doesnt matter if im a coder or if im coder material, as long as i get to do wat i love (codeing) im fine, besides dont try and please the coders just so u can become one, and the coders we have now r just fine, it isnt neccesary to keep adding coders, but dont get effended wen they say ur not coder material, they have to do their job, meaning they cant take pitty on u because u want to be a coder, they must do wats best for the code vault, at least thats how i think of it :)

....Which has already been covered multiple times. and by sayign you dont care whether or not you are one screams (to me at least) i want to be a coder. alright not screams, but its implying it. everybody who likes coding wants to be a coder, me included, i just dont want to be dealing with deleting posts, code requests, etc.

[Roxas677]

ill tell u right now DONT BE AN IDIOT LIKE ME AND BY GAMESHARK! its not as bad as i make it seem but it isnt as stable and sometimes it wont load so u have to restart the gameshark. and u can corrupt ur mem card, but i havent so u'll be good. ur best bet is ar max and get max convert to convert the raw codes to ar max. if u need help go ahead and pm me
yeah dude hes right ,y gameshark is ****. thats why i got a codebreaker. and AR MAX? tne codes r too hard to type in lol.

cheats should only be used AFTER U beat a game!
but yet cheats are used for enjoyment and entertainment. But thats why they call it cheating! wait what did i just say, oh never mind heres some pros and cons about cheating.
Pros: 1.you can get further in the game faster 2.its amusing sometimes.
Cons: 1.when you cheat in the beginning of a game its boring because its not a challenge 2.itll get boring cause you dont have any pressur like this: "Oh no! My health is low Oh wait i dont care illjust use this cheat to get it back." See it will get boring.
So theres good things and bad things about cheating but for sure itll make a game a LOT easier!

[11jones2]

It means exactly that. There was an error reading the disc. Clean the disc in question, then try again.

it was brand new my mom got it at gamestop and she gave it to me in the bag >_<

Then you probably got a faulty disc. :\

[13draconus_maximus13]

I don't know, I had the same problem with AR MAX too, all discs work, xcept for that one, it always takes about 6 times to get it right.

[EvilMan_89]

try getting a lens cleaner disc. you can buy them at FYE for about $10. or try your local game store.

[11jones2]

yeah i have one i am goign to try that and if that doesnt work then see if they can exchange it

ok just wondering since were going to exchange the disc today why do you have like two lines for codes ? for most of the codes

[11jones2]

well i got a new one and it still isnt working

[EvilMan_89]

must be your PS2 then

[11jones2]

yeah it is but how long will it take sony to repair it?
also why do you have more than 2 lines for codes ?

[josh92]

can someone tell me how to add codes to GameShark 2 and the nastercode for kH2Fm

[the_darkness_will_rise]

For the codes, you have to go and download something to use them? Dang. I'm not downloading something so I can use the codes. Whatever happened to the codes where you used the buttons on the controllers???

[carey]

you don't download anything, you buy a cheat device.
you have to request them, we still make them

[the_darkness_will_rise]

Really... Hmm.. Cool.

[advent_of_apocalypse]

Well I started coding not that long agow and I will start making vides and a cuple of codes.And I dont lake skill

If your idea of coding is entering a cheat code then... well that's not coding. Coding is when you actually make the codes.

[jrock907]

I wanna learn how to make my own codes. but the only problem is that all I know is that all codes r made from the slus file of games... I have the ps2dis program and its still too complicated. the tutorials I have read are still too cunfusing and have no visual aids :( does anybody have a good tutorial or have a good way of explaining?

[finalform-antiform]

i got a question about codebreaker. how come it will sometimes get stuck on reading your saved file? its happened 6 times to me now and its really starting to make me mad. can anyone help me with this? :mad:

[VideoGameCrazyMan]

Hey EvilMan, I found a program that is VERY HELPFUL. and I think you should edit it into your first post.

This program will allow even people who don't have WinZip, WinRar, PKzip, or 7zip to Convert codes.:)

Here's the program:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z442.exe

[AntiWeapon]

Thats also Seven Zip by the looks of it... besides.. Its just another extractor either way. Nothing really differnt from just getting winrar.

[VideoGameCrazyMan]

Thats also Seven Zip by the looks of it... besides.. Its just another extractor either way. Nothing really differnt from just getting winrar.

Wait, let me explain just how helpful it is.

It's much better than just getting Winrar because it not only let's you open .rar files but it also lets you open these types of files too:

.7z
.bz2
.cab
.gz
.iso
.tar
.zip

It helped me ALOT when I downloaded it.

So I figured it would be a good addition to the thread.

I hope people will find this helpful.:)

Would AR MAX work on a Japanese PS2?

[EvilMan_89]

Would AR MAX work on a Japanese PS2?

no. unless you have a way for it to read foreign discs. you CAN use AR Max on Japanese games tho using an American PS2.

[trainingidiot]

[QUOTE=EvilMan_89;1947609]no. unless you have a way for it to read foreign discs. you CAN use AR Max on Japanese games tho using an American PS2.[/QUOTE

i see, so are there any things that allow Japanese ps2's to read foreign disks?

i THINK swap magic (japanese version) woudl do the trick. but you can also get a Japanese cheat device (not sure what they're called tho)

Thanks for the info, but after searching the net I can't seem to find a reliabe source on the net to find a japanese swap magic disk, suggestions appreciated.

[lost key]

I made a mistake and pressed the eject button while my ARmax disc was on the main scene and it made this weird soud and the scene went into those 4 locks that you see at the top of the screen and when I put the disc back in I loaded up my code list and my KH1, KH2, and FFX cheats were gone and (I put in the entire code list for those games to) I have the power saves on my memory card And I still dont have my codes back, can some one tell me how to get my codes without the hours and hours of re-entry

[VideoGameCrazyMan]

*Gasps*

Who closed my Star Wars Thread??? and Why???

What did I do to break the rules???

Somebody please tell me!

[AntiWeapon]

I don't see anything wrong with it, so ill unlock it for you.. if a coder/mod has a problem with it then please tell me/him what it is before you lock it again.

[joe2308]

how come my game froze when i put in the codes on my codebreaker

[DeadHeart]

Can anyone teach me how to use Delta maker properly?

[00Roxas00]

Can anyone teach me how to use Delta maker properly?

If you guys dont mind me asking......what is Delta Maker?

[DeadHeart]

I think it's a progam you use to port codes without the game(Not sure about the last part but that's why i want to use it).

How to use MaxConvert in OS X?

1. Download DarWine (http://thisismyinter.net/?p=47 Select the Stable one! We're not taking any risks here).
2. Unpack it with CTRL + Click "Archive Utility.app"/what ever you want to use. If it came as mounted, then ignore the earlier step. If it came as .PKG, launch it.
3. Once installed drag the DarWines folder to Applications (Macintosh HD/Applications/).

At this point you'd better to download MaxConvert and unpack it. Once you've done this, continue to step 4.

4. Launch WineHelper.app.
5. Now click "Application - Open..." (Or click CMD/Apple + O). Browse to MaxConverts exe. Don't worry about other windows what open, you won't use them. Just minimize those (CMD/Apple + M).

A little note here. To quit DarWine, use CMD/Apple + Q first to quit WineHelper, then to quit X11. This is the proper method to shutdown DarWine. Don't care about any possible error messages, those aren't critical.

6. Continue installation progress. Once complete, I recommend to move the .EXE to some simple place where it is always easy to find.
7. Launch MaxConvert. This might take some time when launching it for the first time. You can ignore FreeType Font-missing error since it's too hard to install on OS X. Seriously, just ignore the error on log-window.
8. At this point you'd better to hide other windows what you won't be using. Launch Textedit.app to help you to get clear of text what you paste to it. To copy/cut/paste in MaxConvert do this:

Right Click on the left side and choose "Copy/Cut/Paste". You can't copy/cut/paste to the MaxConvert with CMD/Apple + C/X/V, it doesn't work. However, you can copy/cut/paste from MaxConvert to Textedit.app. Sure, this does take some more time and you need to be careful when doing multiple codes but it is worth it.

You're all set! Now you can convert your on Mac OS X as well (e.g. from RAW to ARMAX/vice versa). Just remember to use correct values (09C9 PAL and 0911 NTSC).

Hope this helps anyone who's on OS X and has had problems to convert codes on it (like me). :) In Linux, I think you use Wine. It's same process but DarWine exchanges to Wine.

codebreaker. it's easier than armax and better than gameshark.

[DragonHead7580]

its called ps2dis google it, and then find a guide for hacking.
Edit:btw did anyone ever find the flag for oogie boogie?

I did, but i understood non of it. i read it through so many times. Some guides say i need something like a slus or somethin. what the hell is that?

[DragonHead7580]

That still dosen't explain what a ps2dis is and how to work a omniconverter...


anybody want to help me? i think i know how to work the omni converter, but the ps2dis......

[janime6]

A "SLUS" is the game file thingy. xD
You need a DVD Drive, so you can insert your game you want to hack, and you will see something like "SLUS_XXX.XX (it might be different, but the style is like that :P)."

Well, open that and then go from then on in the tutorials.

[DragonHead7580]

Thanks janime. so we enter the actual game into the computer/laptop right?

[janime6]

Thanks janime. so we enter the actual game into the computer/laptop right?

yes, just put it in and it should open the game's file, where you will see the "SLUS_XXX.XX" file.

:D
