Custom Engine Loader Tool

[Gtlcpimp]

I don't know if anyone made a tool to do this so I slapped a tiny one together. It should help fellas like bungholio out that like to make cheat engines for the PS2.

You save the engine in RAW format as "Engine.raw", your code list you will be using as "Codes.raw", and place it on the drive you are using. Easier to use PS2Link, as it checks "host:" first for the files.

It loads the engine to address 0x8007A000, and the codes to address 0x80040000.

It will automatically hook the engine with a kernel hook, so you don't have to look for hooks.

The main purpose is to help test a cheat engine, your code list raw file must be formatted the way you will be manipulating it.

I have provided a working example engine and code (the code is "Flash" for "SOCOM: Combined Assault").

Would this allow me to finish and completely use my weird memory scanner I made about a year ago but quit due to there being line limits on cheat devices? Does this work for any game?

That's a really good concept

Yes and yes - Kernel hooked.

Also if you don't like line limits with cheat devices you could use the RemotePS2 cheat device I developed as part of CheatCentral app.

It operates the 1.3c cheat engine I wrote, and basically has a size limit of ~224 KB (Approximately 57,344 lines of codes)

You may have to slightly edit it though, since it loads the code list to 0x80040000.

The whole purpose is for testing a custom engine or MIPS routine on any game desired. Not much on a GUI, just the scr_printf() shell GUI.

I'm mainly wondering if this would work without error on every game. Any chance of it? The cheat devices work fine with every game, but them and their line limits killed my idea. I'm not too interested in messing with my ASM memory scanner, since it completely lacks any form of GUI and I have no idea how you created one, or how anyone creates them.

Oh yes this works flawless for every game. All it does, is load the engine you make and hook it (nothing fancy just a simple custom cheat device loader).

A GUI broken down to simplicity:

You either use a GS lib or build your own, which is simply having the ability to put something on your screen. Now, you take your images and put them up there. You build a function that handles controller inputs, and when you push a button you have the function update the graphics being put on the screen.

No portion of my brain understands how that is done. I'm looking at your code and I have no idea of what anything means. I have no form of education on coding, or anything really.

When I click on that link, I get a 404 Error Page.

[bungholio]

I'm getting the same 404 problem. I think the page grew a pair of legs and ran away.

[Gtlcpimp]

That it did! It was there the other day... I swear... Re-uploaded try again

[bungholio]

It's fixed. Thank you.

[Gtlcpimp]

Yup yup. I still swear it was there... lol... unless my brain farted and grew legs n took off on it...
