We will need to vary this value to catch it so Claire has to take some damage and find a green herb to be able to restore it. There is a byte or a word (2 bytes) somewhere in the game memory that is responsible for storing the Claire's condition. Our first priority will be to make Claire immortal so her condition will steadily be in green. The game starts in a prison with only a knife for a weapon. This is not a simple game to play and it's quite simple to cheat plus you may need some cheats playing it. This tutorial will cover the game Resident Evil Code: Veronica X. pnach (for example a patch for Drakan 2 PAL has name 04f9d87f.pnach). When you create your patch it will be placed here as well and will have the name. These are the default ones to improve some games behavior (they skip videos or some sections in otherwise hanging games). Your installation of PCSX2 may already have many patches in it. Each save state of a game is saved with the CRC number of that certain game.(edit-dhillel)Īll the patches are stored in the patches folder by default.

I found out that you can find the CRC number in the sstates directory where you keep your save states.

You can find the number for your game in PCSX2 console when the game is starting (or on the console caption in some PCSX2 versions, it looks like ' Game running '). The CRC is a 8 chars long hexadecimal number.

This is a precaution not to apply the patch created for one game version on another making the game unplayable/crashing. It helps to distinguish not only the different games but even the different regions and the different editions of one game. This CRC is a special control sum of all bytes in the main game executable. Here goes a small tutorial that can help you understand a bit how does these cheats work and how to create your own cheat. All you have to do is to find or better yet create your own cheat for the game. So even if your skill is not enough to beat the game fairly you won't be frustrated like on the real PS2. Still there are other patches help you cheat on games while playing. You'll have to discover and download these patches from the Internet.

Some patches will help you make the broken game playable by messing with its code skipping some of its parts. Patching system is one of the most splendid features of PCSX2.
