I'm looking to get some advice on settings to try for PCSX2 running Kingdom Hearts NTSC. The game itself runs fine, but I'm looking to get the best looking game I can and maybe even see if I can optimize my settings any more. Finished Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix (English Patched) several times. Which contains a stupid mix of files: Wii.

[HELP] .pnach cheats aren't working in KH2FM

Since yesterday, I have been struggling to get my .pnach file for Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix to work. The console for PCSX2 clearly shows that the .pnach file has been detected and loaded and doesn't display any error messages. However, in-game my cheats don't have any actual effect. My infinite items are not actually infinite (the number should reset to 98 whenever I use an item, but it counts down instead) and none of the characters have max stats.

Hardware:

Kali ini saya akan membuat turtorial membuat cheat untuk pcsx2 menggunakan file “.pnach” tapi sebelum kita buat cheat kita harus tahu CRC-nya dulu. Multi Converter - 2.1. Multi Converter is a powerful tool for converting raw cheats to PCSX2's pnach format, creating and editing PCSX2 cheat patches and even providing a save state preview in the output window, using IrfanView.

Final

I am using PCSX2 1.2.1, downloaded directly from their main website. I have speedhacks disabled and I am running my games at a resolution of 1024x768 (the widescreen hacks aren't working correctly for some reason, they make the game screen very jittery even if I change the window settings to a 16:9 resolution). The game I am playing is an .iso of Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix + with an English patch installed from this website. Here is a screenshot of my console log from launching the game, to the title screen, and then closing the game. Here is a link to my .pnach file so someone can take a look at it and figure out what the problem is. Thank you very much in advance, I'll try to be as helpful as I can in providing further information.

Soul Calibur 3 1080p Guide

Alright, I wanted to make this guide for a few reasons. As you may know, Soul Calibur 3 is a very troublesome game to run in PCSX2 - it's not only demanding but requires quite a few fixes - however, with these tweaks it runs absolutely beautifully. I searched this sub and didn't find any threads about this beloved game of mine so I figured I'd post the steps I took to get it running smoothly. With these tweaks, you'll be playing SC3 at 6x resolution/1440p with minimal slowdown.

June 2016 Update: PCSX2 released an updated stable build, so using a dev build is no longer needed (just remember to enable 'align sprite') however, I still encourage you to use one since you'll usually get the best performance. Also, I created a new screenshot album, it's crazy how impressive the game looks to this day, especially in shots like this. Black eyed peas monkey business rar zip.

Pcsx2 Cheats Pnach

  1. Firstly, make sure you have the NTSC/USA iso of SC3, this will definitely help if you're looking to use a pnach (cheat code file) to unlock all characters automatically - I'll explain more about that later.

  2. To max out the graphics quality, go to Config > Video > Plugin Settings and adjust the settings to resemble this picture. 'Align Sprite' fixes uprendering issues, 'Wildarmsoffset' fixes ghosting, 80% saturation boost fixes mild colors. I set it to 4x in the image, but adjust the rendering resolution according to your rig (I personally use 6x.) You can also download MMJ's Cel Shader here and enjoy a nice change in texture style, comparison shot here.

  3. Open Audio > Plugin Settings and make sure the module is set to XAudio (the dev build sets it to Portaudio for some reason, which doesn't work well with SC3.)

  4. Now, to unlock all characters automatically. Download the pnach file here (it's essentially a text file that works to modify the game in various ways.) Be sure they're named to just their CRC code (meaning '027C604C.pnach.') If you want to adjust any cheats, simply remove // prior to the cheat to enable it, where as alternatively, placing // disables it. Lastly, simply paste the pnach files in the cheat folder for pcsx2, and click 'enable cheats' under the system drop-down menu. So be absolutely sure you remove the '//' beside both lines of code for the 'unlock all characters' text. Note that the download should already removes the lines by default, I only added the instructions on the off chance someone downloads from a different source.

  5. Finally, to reap the rewards. Load the iso (use the fast mode to skip the ps2 intro screen) while holding Triangle and Cross at the same time to enable Progressive Scan (you'll be prompted for it, just hit continue - it raises the resolution from 240p to 567p, which makes a massive improvement especially when using 6x upscaling) and then after the title screen enable 16:9 ratio mode in the settings menu. Then adjust any settings you want - I personally like to enable neutral guard and vibration - then load up the versus menu and create a save state. This will let you jump directly to the versus menu, completely skipping the intro logos, which is awesome if you have a friend over and want to play some sweet Soul Calibur local multiplayer.

  6. Enjoy! Here's an album of screenshots I took, the rendering resolution 6x native downscaled to my 1080p monitor. Someone also uploaded some 2x res footage of the game in action, skip to 9:40 for a bit of Kilik combat. Some of the environments look really gorgeous. Anyway, let me know if you need any help or find any improvements! Despite being a decade old, the game is still exceptional in both visuals and combat. The announcer wasn't kidding when he said 'the legend never dies.'

Okay, here is my ultimate cheat table for one of my favorite PS2 games, KINGDOM HEARTS 2.
**PLEASE READ THE NOTES WITH SOME OF THESE CODES, IN THE TABLE IF YOU WANT THEM TO WORK CORRECTLY.MANY OF THEM ARE IN HEX, AND YOU WILL NEED TO USE THE HEX VALUE TO COMPLETE THE CODE**
(My table set up is in random order.There are a ton of codes, and I'm too lazy to rearrange them.)
Credit to SKILLER & VALKRYS on some of these codes, as I cannot take credit for them all.I did however, find and label many of my own as well.
OK, so here is what my table has:
Infinite Munny (999999 is more than enough.You can always replenish.)
HP, MP, Max HP, Max MP, AP, Level, Strength, Magic, Defense for ALL PLAYABLE CHARACTERS - (For AP, 255 is the value, for Magic, Strength, and Defense the value is 100)
Infinite MP Gauge - This is the blue mp gauge under the health gauge on the screen. Using this will allow you to cast magic, drives, and limits, endlessly.
No MP Charge - This is that annoying purple gauge that appears when using magic and limits.It's basically a timer, that you have to wait to empty, before you can use magic and limits again in a battle.(Just put the value to 0.)
MP Hastega - Gives you the Ability, so make sure you don't override another ability you may already have set.
Infinite Drive - Go into drive mode FIRST, THEN, activate this code immediately. Otherwise, you will keep changing back to normal Sora.
Max Drive Gauge - The max value is 9
Mega Jump (Normal Sora Only) - You may have to activate this code while loading the game, to get it to work.But be sure to use the HEX value.You can jump ridiculously high, AND HAVE THE SUPERGLIDE ability, with a lot of speed on it.
Experience for VALOR, WISDOM, MASTER, FINAL, and SUMMON DRIVES. - No more taking forever to level up these drives and summons.Just check the status and put in the value of the number required to level up.Then, just go into that drive, and get one hit, and you level up. For the SUMMONS, you have to do a limit command to level up.
Buy 1 thing to get 100 of it. - Use the hex value.
Low Chance Of Anti Sora - Just use the value 0, and you won't ever have to change into anti Sora. (You may have to unequip this later in the game when trying to get the FINAL DRIVE.You can re-equip after you get it.)
FOR THE NEXT TWO TYPES OF CODES, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.While they WORK, you may not be able to finish the game 100% (If you are a die hard like me).THis happened when I tried to do the PARADOX BATTLE IN THE COLISEUM.Hades wasn't there, so I couldn't fight in it.
1) Drive Forms in Donald's or Goofy's First Armor Slot - (Just go and remove it, and it is available to use.Don't try to re equip it or the game will crash)
2) Have All Forms Active - This one works too, but it may go away when changing screens.I had to break it into THREE parts, so use ALL 3, to activate the code.
Ok.Moving on.
Character Experience - You can set this hex value to 3000000 and it will give you pretty much every Level up ABILITY that comes along with being level 99.(Future characters may be at level 99 when you first meet them.Just defeat one enemy, and you will see them being added on screen. If you use it in the beginning of the game, BE SURE TO SET YOUR LEVEL BACK TO 1, so you can regain them all over again normally.(DO NOT ACTIVATE THESE ABILITIES THOUGH, UNTIL YOU GET VALOR FORM.
GUMMI SHIP INVINCIBILITY - This is a two part code.Check the value in the code description.(YOU MAY HAVE TO UNEQUIP the second part of this code, just to get to the gummi menu.Sometimes it freezes, so just unequip the scond code, then equip it again to get past the menu and start a mission)
GUMMI SHIP MEDAL GAIN, AP, AND MEDALS DON'T DECREASE - Ap value is 99, Medal gain value is 30.
MAX ALLOWED COST GUMMI - value is 06. Sets it to the maximum of 1200 (It will go higher, when you get the cost limit upgrades, but KEEP IT AT 06 or it can freeze.)
MAX ALLOWED COST TEENY - Value is 04.Sets it to the maximum 500. (It too, will go higher.Just keep it at 04.
MAGIC LEVEL MOD - Another 2 part code.BE SURE TO USE THE HEX VALUES IN THE DESCRIPTION. (Gives you level 3 magic.HOWEVER, you may still have to get the magic upgrades during the game to complete ATLANTICA)
BOSS HP MODS - Don't feel like going through hell fighting Bosses? Just put the value to 0.and hit them once.They die.Sometimes maybe a couple hits.(Before you fight a boss, the value is at 0.But it will change on it's own.Make note of the one that changes to a higher value, then just put it to 0.USE THE RIGHT ONES THOUGH, cause some of them may be YOUR ALLIES.Just READ THE CODE DESCRIPTION, to know which Boss HP code to use.Also, When Fighting XIGBAR, WAIT UNTIL HE USES HIS FIRST SNIPER ATTACK BEFORE USING THIS CODE ON HIM.Cause the game will freeze.)
TIME STOP MOD - Stops the time.The value is 1
MAX SCORE - THis works for MOST sidequest games.
MAX TOYS IN SANTA'S WORKSHOP - Aka NO RELOAD when shooting presents into the boxes.
TITAN CUP POINTS - Makes you invincible during the TITAN CUP battles.Keeps your points at the 500 limit.
I HAVE A HANDFUL OF INDIVIDUAL GUMMI CODES.You don't really NEED THEM.Because if you use them too early, before acquiring them, you MAY NOT be able to use the ship you put them on during some
other missions.
WEAPON MODS for Sora, Donald, and Goofy - You don't need these if you use the weapon codes I have coming up.But, if for some reason you can't manually equip a weapon, these will help.You just need the digits.
SYNTHESIS ITEMS - I found all the individual items for synthesis.Then I realized I had to have them in the materials log too, so that is why their are TWO SETS.It takes a while, but put them all to a high number, and you can synthesize a lot of stuff early in the game, and get your moggle to PRIMO LEVEL, needed for 100% completion.
SORA, DONALD & GOOFY ABILITY MODS - Some of the best abilities from later on in the game, right at the start.The values for each are in each code description. BE SURE TO WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE VALOR FORM FIRST, so you can use abilities.Once you activate them, save, and deactivate these codes.Some of these codes are LIMITS.You may have to wait until the LIMIT COMMAND is available in your menu before you can use them.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Ps2 Save File

INDIVIDUAL WEAPONS FOR SORA, DONALD, and GOOFY. - Activate them, save, then deactivate the codes.
ASSAULT ON THE DREADNOUGHT GUMMI MISSIONS 1, 2 and 3
These are codes for all 3 missions, that include all treasures, kills, max level, and max medal level.A lot of people have a problem completing these because of the stupid CRUISER ENEMIES, and the FINAL BOSS on mission 3.If you wanna skip all that use these codes.ONE SET AT A TIME.You may have to get through at least the first two missions, to open up the 3rd one.
Last but not least.
MAX ITEM SLOT CODES.There are well over 100.I haven't come up with all those.Because not all the codes are in sequential order.I have the FIRST 14 slots.and then slots 20 - 22.You can put the value to what you want.If you change it to HEX, and use item digits, you can get that item you choose instead.BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERRIDE AN ITEM YOU ALREADY HAVE OR NEED!
Ok, that's about it.THESE CODES SHOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO GET THROUGH THIS GAME A LOT EASIER.BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL SAVES!!!!
ENJOY!
GLITCH UPDATE***
Be careful using the CHARACTER EXPERIENCE CODES and the ABILITY MODS.I just noticed, that I cannot use the SUPERGLIDE ABILITY that comes with FINAL FORM, because I have too many ABILITIES ALREADY.Some of them are DOUBLE, like 'SCAN', in which you only need ONE.
So just use a few of the BEST abilities instead, so you can save some space.You only get a certain amount of ability slots.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Save File Pcsx2 2016 Download

I use the PCSX2 Emulator 1.0.0
I didn't think it was a waste of time for me.I'm still relatively a newbie, so to speak, on cheat engine.
But I have been able to find quite a few codes for the PCSX2 Iso's I have downloaded.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Save File Pcsx2


I mainly use it at work.(Being a manager has its advantages, lol)
I wouldn't bother if it was any other way.
Nothing wrong with converting codes either.but sometimes, I end up having to find a code anyhow, because action replay may not have the specific codes that I want.
Sometimes, I just grab a codebreaker code, and subsequently find a new code in sequence.
But, like I said.I am using cheat engine for my PCSX2 on my laptop.THat's all.
Otherwise I'm at home on the PS4.
