However, you have to change its extension from txt to pnach, which is the extension for files that store the game’s information, such as name, comment, cheats, etc. In this example, my file would be 6A4EFE60.txt. In the cheats folder, let’s create a New Text Document and rename it with the CRC code from the previous step. Don’t get confused with this folder, because this procedure only worked using the folder inside the emulator installation folder.

NOTE: By default, a folder called Cheats will also be created in My Documents. Now, navigate to the emulator installation folder ( usually in C:\Program Files\PCSX2, but it can be different) and open the folder called Cheats. Copy the code without 0x, so it would be 6A4EFE60. In this case, it’s for Final Fantasy X (NTSC-J), it depends on the game. The highlighted area shows the CRC code of the game. You should see something like this: Your CRC code can be different If you don’t have this window, enable it by clicking on Show Console, under the Misc menu.

Open the emulator and run any game, then press ESC and check the Log Window. NOTE: There are another ways to do that, but firstly it’s interesting to know how things work, isn’t it? If you don’t have the emulator, you can download it from the Official Website. Now we will see how to do it on one of the best emulator of Playstation 2. Previously, we saw how to put GameShark codes on ePSXe.
