Yes that should be correct.

Did you set the correct database path in the settings ini? It has to be set there. In the future I'll probably have it load a cdb from the same directory by default, but for now you have to set the path in the ini.

I thought it was set by default to look in the same directory as the elf file and hence the blank space before the file name? My apologies. I'll try that out and let you know. *EDIT* Yes, this has fixed it. This is the only cheat elf that works on my system, thanks.

[CheatDevicePS2]
database = cb10.cdb
boot1 = mass:BOOT/BOOT.ELF
boot2 = mass:BOOT/ESR.ELF
boot3 = mc0:BOOT/BOOT.ELF
boot4 = mc1:BOOT/BOOT.ELF
boot5 = rom:OSDSYS

So that should be:
mass:cb10.cdb if the cbd is on the root of the usb stick and mass:CheatdevicePS2/cb10.cdb if in a folder on USB stick named CheatdevicePS2?

I get the error: 'unable to find cheat database cbd error please wait'. It freezes on this screen. The cbd file is in the same directory as the elf. I have tried putting all the files from your v1.21 archive in a separate folder and on root of my usb pen with the same result. Same error when I remove cbd file out of directory.

I'm no compiler/builder so I'm not worried about a new font right now. An option for a custom background would be great though, thanks.

[root670]

Custom backgrounds could be implemented in a cinch, but font changes will require a bit of work. I'm using stb_font for font rendering (http://nothings.org/stb/font/) and it requires a header file with the font to be generated before compiling it into a program. The font could be scaled pretty easily, but the quality would suffer. If you'd like to change the font for a build, just use the tool on nothings.org to generate a new stb_font.h file before compiling Cheat Device.

Would it be possible to be able to change the font size and have a custom jpg or png background?

I updated your file with 1856 games.

Try this elf instead of the one included in the v1.2.1 zip: https://mega.nz/#!KEZl1DDa!UB4xNlo2v...bs2UK77rdud6j8
It's an unpacked version of the v1.2.1 ELF. The packed version might have issues with certain versions of uLaunchElf it seems.

Dear root670,

This was corrected and it is functioning properly now

Many thanks for your support.

Best regards.

Dear root670,

I have tried but it doesn't work ....displays a black screen. Meanwhile, I had to install a old version again

I question whether there is any solution.

Kind regards.

Newest version works with me. Also I use uLaunchElf 4.41d, the newer versions have issues with me.

Here's a project I've been working on for the last few months:
Cheat Device for PS2
[ATTACH=CONFIG]3085[/ATTACH]
Cheat Device is a game enhancer for PlayStation 2 games, similar to Action Replay, GameShark, and CodeBreaker. It supports booting retail, disc based games as well as ELF files such as OpenPS2Loader or ESR.

Not booting on mine either. So just best to wait for 1.3?

I've updated the ZIP on GitHub with a working release.

[root670]

v1.2.1 has been released.
Changes
General

• Attempt to automatically install engine hook if game doesn't have a 9-type enable code
• Press start in cheat lists to go directly to the main menu
• Prevent too many codes being enabled
• Display error messages with prompt boxes
• Display free space in save manager

Graphics

• Better font rendering with anti aliasing
• Fix game list being rendered before main menu was cleared from the screen

Code

• Remove storage.c. Use stdio functions instead
• Use proper vsync handler
• Remove unnessasry gsKit_set_primalpha() call
• Correct object colors
• Free resources after loading PNG texture
• Fix warnings

See the first post for a download link. Enjoy!

Edit: The initial release was faulty, but a revised ZIP has been uploaded that fixes the issue. ps2-packer generated a bugged executable that crashed on real consoles, but I've now switched too NRLPack. Thanks go to krHACKen for suggesting the alternative packer, which was able to compress the elf even better than ps2-packer could! Nice
