Cheats

YAOPL has the PS2RD cheat engine. It reads cheat files in the PS2RD format, CHT/<game ID>.cht on the game's device (for example CHT/SLUS_209.46.cht).

Turn cheats on

  1. Put the cheat file in CHT.
  2. Triangle on the game → Cheat Settings: set Settings Mode to Per Game (or use the global values), turn on PS2RD Cheat Engine and pick a mode:
    • Auto Select Cheats applies every cheat in the file.
    • Select Game Cheats shows a menu of the cheats when the game starts. Your picks are remembered for the next launch.
  3. Save Changes in the game menu.

  • A line with exactly 16 hexadecimal digits (spaces allowed) is a code: an address and a value.
  • Any other line starts a new cheat and is its name, in any script (Latin, Cyrillic, Japanese).
  • Lines starting with // or # are comments.

A cheat named Mastercode, Master Code or Enable Code (must be on) (in any case) is always on, as the other codes need it.

Limits

  • At most 250 cheats per file.
  • The cheats turned on together may have at most about 250 code lines.
  • A line may be up to 255 characters long, a name up to 128.

If the file is missing or cannot be read, YAOPL shows Error: failed to load cheat file. when the game starts.
