Download one piece marineford full sub indo. Apr 12, 2012  I have codebreaker 9.22 in elf format so I can use it without any problem, the only problem is that new cheat files are in *.cbc format, and since PCSX2 has no USB support, it won't allow update from USB stick or HDD.

Codebreaker 10 Elf

For the manga series, see Code:Breaker. For other uses, see Codebreaker (disambiguation).

  2. Have a question about Sony PS2 Code Breaker?

Code Breaker is a cheat device developed by Pelican Accessories, currently available for PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Dreamcast, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS. Along with competing product Action Replay, it is one of the few currently supported video game cheat devices.

History[edit]

Island in the sun clearwater fl. Originally developed by the Fire International Group and distributed by Pelican Accessories as the NTSC/UC (North American) counterpart to the PAL (European) Xploder cheat device, the CodeBreaker first appeared on the Dreamcast relatively late in the console's lifecycle. Soon after the Dreamcast version was released, development began on a PlayStation 2 version.

After version six hit the market, Fire International abruptly broke off their partnership with Pelican to develop the newly Mad Catz-acquired GameShark. It was also at this time that the Game Boy Advance Code Breaker was discontinued. Pelican Accessories put together an internal development team and proceeded with future versions of CodeBreaker. Their original site was www.codebreaker.com, but Codetwink bought it and had a new site. Day1 is a feature that allows you to get codes from online and import them into Codebreaker with a USB Flash drive, and the codes were removed, but CodeTwink brought them back a while after.

Features[edit]

Update Codebreaker 10

Though previous versions of the PlayStation 2 Code Breaker were plagued by limited functionality,[1] later versions were lauded for features such as a simple, uncluttered menu and 'typing' systems.[2] Version 9 added support for USBkeyboards.[3]

Unlike other cheat devices which store cheat codes on proprietary storage devices, the PlayStation 2 Code Breaker stores codes on memory cards, thus cutting down on manufacturing costs. Saves can also be copied from USB flash drives. The device's official web site, Codetwink, run by CodeMasterX, (who also coded the entire cheat engine and cheat code types in the product) provides codes posted by the former Game Shark Code Creators Club.[3] Codes can be downloaded from the official web site using the device's 'Day1' feature. Later versions include support for the PlayStation 2's Broadband Adapter and internet chat.[3]

Current events[edit]

Codebreaker

Using the Code Breaker device, one can access a feature named Day1 and import/export Saves. In some cases, one can avoid typing number by number using cheats import. However, Pelican Accessories no longer supports this. Since the latest version of Codebreaker, Codebreaker 10.1, has www.codebreaker.com set as the Codebreaker site, the device can no longer connect to the Internet with it to get codes, nor use Codebreaker chat because of this site change, and because Code Breaker has been discontinued.[when?]

As of May 2012, www.codetwink.com uses a vBulletin type site format, but still had the Codebreaker Day1 files available for download to people who register for an account. As of June 2013, the Day1 files were unavailable. The codetwink.com server was moved and the hard drive was damaged. As of April 2017, a mirror of the old Codetwink site is hosted by Wes Castro, developer of the Cheat Device project.[4][5] CodeMasterX has also returned to hosting and maintaining a modern Codetwink site that also sells the 'Game Genie' game save editor for Playstation3 consoles.[6]

Ps2 Codebreaker 10

Categories:
Hidden categories:
This is in the Hardware mod section as it is for real hardware (my method is used on a softmodded console but can be done on all PS2's via some cheat CD's with cables or USB stick save storage abilities)
Files can also be passed to and from via FTP
I will let you deside on the method of getting the data from your PS2 to your PC, I will guide you using uLaunch though
Tools used
cb2util v1.3
Omniconvert v1.0.0 R
Ps2 Save Builder 0.8x
On grabbing the codebreaker cheats file.
I just used uLaunch with a USB stick
Start uLaunch
Press O to browse
Highlight mc0:/ then press X and look for a folder called PCB
Highlight PCB/ and press X to open it
Highlight cheats press R1 and press X while copy is highlighted
Press triangle twice to go back to the Main path menu
Highlight mass:/ and press X to open it
Press R1 then highlight paste and press X
(you can also use save software built into various cheat discs to get it onto your PC then use ps2save builder to extract the cheats file and re-inject it after [this is a beter method for game saves (some game saves will get corrupt using ulaunch) but for this it's not going to get corrupt ])
Note:- If there is no cheats file in the PCB folder you may need to run Codebreaker once and add a code or game manually (this can be an empty entry of 0's for a code or a one letter name for a game) then press start to update the database, you can delete it right away and press start again to save it)
On extracting cheats.txt from the cheats file.
(I will upload a few batch files to make it so you do not need to do this by hand)
I used command prompt & cb2util version 1.3
Open up command prompt and type in CD and the path to cb2util.exe (you should also have a copy of cheats in this folder)
e.g. CD C:UsersXDownloadscb2util
the above will change the working folder to the cb2util folder
Now type:-
cb2util cheats cheats>> cheats.txt
This will create a cheats.txt file in the same folder as cb2util
On finding codes
Here are a few sites for codes of various types (We will be using raw codes I explain how next)
cheats.codetwink.com/ CodeBreaker/Xploder codes for various versions and various regions
www.Codejunkies.com Mostly Action Replay/GameShark & Action Replay Max codes for various regions
www.Gamefaqs.com on occation has codes in the guides section for various regions but alot PAL codes pop up here
www.Gameshark.com no longer there, go to CodeJukies for GameShark codes
xs.xploder.net PAL Xploder codes
Google can also be handy here
On Converting codes.
ARMAX Master codes can't seem to be converted so use the master codes from Action Replay(none max)/GameShark/Codebreaker/Xploder
Make sure your codes are for the correct region (most PAL codes will be for Action Replay Max/Action Replay v1/v2 & Xploder)
What to convert to.. just convert to normal RAW format, this can be used with the Codebreaker (all PS2 versions )
Best software to use=omniconvert
If you wish you can decrypt the original cheats (handy if you want to edit existing cheat values (the last 8 digits of the code, the first 8 is the code address location in memory))
On adding code to cheats.txt
Just open that beast of a file with either Notepad, Wordpad, Winword or whatever other text editor software you have and paste your code into it
Note the format used for the codes looks like this:-
'Game Name'
Cheat Name
Code for above Cheat Name
'Game Name'
Cheat Collection Name (e.g. misc codes)
Cheat Name (e.g. cash)
Code for above Cheat Name
Cheat Collection Name (e.g. in battle codes)
Cheat Name (e.g. unlimited HP)
Code for above Cheat Name
On re-creating cheats file
go back to the command prompt (if you closed it redo the part to get the command prompt to work in the folder that cb2util is stored)
type:-
cb2util cheats -c cheats.txt cheats
the above re-creates the cheats file in the same folder as cb2util
On replacing cheats file on PS2 with updated cheats file
Again I just used uLaunch with a USB stick
Copy the cheats file to your USB stick
Insert the USB stick back into your PS2
Start uLaunch
Press O to browse
Highlight mc0:/ then press X and look for a folder called PCB
Highlight PCB/ and press X to open it
Highlight cheats press R1 and press X while copy is highlighted
Press triangle twice to go back to the Main path menu
Highlight mass:/ and press X to open it
Press R1 then highlight paste and press X
(you can also use save software built into various cheat discs, just use ps2save builder to edit the original save and inject the cheats file you edited/created them use the cheat CD's method to restore a save back onto your memory card [this is a beter method for game saves (some game saves will get corrupt using ulaunch) but for this it's not going to get corrupt ])
