PSP to PS2 Cheat Converter

[edisoncarter]

I finally wrote that PSP -> PS2 cheat converter I've been wanting to make. It converts from VCS CheatDevice to VCS PS2 CodeBreaker/GameShark cheats.

 

Go to this page and click on "PSP to PS2 Converter Tool"

http://www.cheatdevice.com/gta/vcsps2.htm

 

Obviously it's not possible to do the full C script from VCS as PS2 cheats so it only converts the basic commands we had in LCS: setchar, sethex, setshort, setint, setfloat.

 

For commands that are a memory address like setfloat(0x08900000, 1.0) it uses pattern matching between PSP and PS2 memory to find the place in memory that's most similar. It's not always going to be able to find it so you need to test the results before posting. The confidence percentage it prints tells you how good of a memory match it found. It's roughly something like 90% is a perfect match, 50% has a fair chance of working, 10% might work but doubtful.

 

Cheats using pplayer and pcar like setfloat(pplayer + 0x10, 1.0) generate codes using the pointer dereference function in CodeBreaker version 6 and up. (What's the lowest version CodeBreaker anyone has? Ver 5 and lower must be so old I probably don't need to say ver 6+ anymore) I looked at the player object and it looks like stuff is in the same place, so pplayer cheats should work.

is there any way this'll be able to work backwards? ie. PS2 cheats -> PSP cheats.

[williamcampbell]

Yay, great! So, it will be both PAL and NTSC codes? I just noticed my game is PAL and I only have a Gameshark...

What did you have in mind, VCS or a different game?

 

Almost all our PSP cheats are modifying data but PS2 cheats traditionally mostly hack the program code. The compiled code between the PSP and PS2 versions looks almost completely different. The compilers are choosing different registers, putting instructions in different order, choosing different instructions, different optimizations, etc. An automated memory compare wouldn't work on that.

 

Besides, there aren't hardly any PS2 cheats for VCS right now so there's nothing to convert back.

[Skiller]

edison the player Data moves around u will need to use a pointer Codes on them .. when ever u load a new game the player moves .. i noticed this after realoading one of my saves .. the player address moved ..

 

i can write up a Simple Sub that i normaly use that u can put into your coding for converting say Cplayer ,Player Car and Lock on pointer objects .. i just need to find a good Jumper to use for all 3 of them .. i would also make it Compatible for all divices using the 000a0000 section all cheat divices can use this section .

[edisoncarter]

Right, I've got stuff working with pcar and pplayer using the pointer codes on CodeBreaker from the docs on your site. I'll post some samples soon.

 

[topdogkiller]

it's great what you're doing man, Expanding cheatdevice. Did you have cheat device on lcs for ps2?

This is not a Cheat Device. This converts PSP cheat device codes to CodeBreaker/GameShark codes.

[edisoncarter]

Here's some sample conversions. These are all tested and working. The Jet Ski and PCJ-600 spawns show the use of the memory pattern matcher, the landmines and invisible car are using pplayer and pcar with CodeBreaker's pointer codes.

 

The Jet Ski spawns at the small dock directly across the street from 101 Bayshore and gives you easy access to the 2nd island!

i think a save bet is to Joker any kinda pointer code using a pointer that goes back to 0 .. i will have to check in to the pointer code type i know its not used to much cuz it is semi buggy ..

but then again .. i could try to find asm location for them ..

The converter tool is released!

Your page (RAW Code Types) says with CodeBreaker "Note that execution stops, if (base & 0x3FFFFFFC) == 0." and I can confirm that. The Invisible Car cheat uses pcar, which goes to 0 when you're not in a car and it didn't crash the game. I don't want to make the cheats 50% longer if I don't have to.

nice codes, i think it's better off doing asm thats i think skiller can find invisible code and some others

[Gantons Most Wanted]

nice job Edison this should be good

[gamerzworld]

How to you convert car spawns? For example, this code.

 

#cheat VCN Helicopter at the VCN building.

pspawn = 0x08E81290;

setint(pspawn, 260);

setfloat(pspawn + 4, -470.38, 1123.10, 64.73, 0);

pspawn += 0x30;

 

Thanks!

[AndyGanteks]

Anybody knows the PAL and NTSC id for Ar MAX.I could try to convert some of the working codes to this cheat device

[Gantons Most Wanted]

#cheat All Red Baloons Burst. w/ Rewards

address = 0x09f6a200;

for(i=0;i<99;i++) {

setint(address+4*i, 1);

}

setshort(0x08bb3d3c, 99);

off();

 

i found this cheat by waterbottle in the PSP Development and it said there was a syntax error when i tryed to convert it with Edisons conversion tool

You can't use loops in the converter, I unrolled the loop however the conversion tool gives most of the code 0% chance of working

wow, this is amazing.

 

would this be possible with regular map objects? I guessing not. I love the car spawns and landmines though

 

now all we need is some hidden interior codes (if it would be possible)

Edited March 10, 2007 by agent17

[Skiller]

most of the codes that Deal with Random locations will not work .. right when converting ..

i did a random test with the PMG cars and it did not Convert it right ..

u have to remember if a places is comparing 500 lines of 00000000 then your goin to find alot more sections for that code.. but if your actualy moding something like old values that were there befor .. then it will find it almost 100% since there will not be as much finds for that exact patten u replaced with your code .. Hens why the Object codes can probly be ported and maybe some other Codes that have Be chunks that have not changed .

 

but things like Money or HP and so on are not as easly ported .. (this is the normaly memory ones not the pointers ..

[AndyGanteks]

is the NTSC id for ar max 0406 and for pal 1100??

i need to know game id to convert codes to Ar max!!

[edisoncarter]

Where did you get 0406? I think Skiller said 0A06 but I could be wrong. Get an ARMax cheat off their site and unconvert it.

 

 

i did a random test with the PMG cars and it did not Convert it right ..

Were you trying to convert an LCS cheat? I don't think there are any PMG cars for VCS yet.

 

I may try to make a converter for LCS PSP to VCS PS2 but it's not there now. It's only VCS PSP to VCS PS2.

no i ment that code that was for Modding a Popos car .. it did not work .. it was one of my tests i think it got the Color section right .. but it crashed the game when i looked at it lol

 

[agent17]

How do I make a car spawn? and get the co-ords? also what about the car color/rotation? etc.

[agent17]

Sorry for the bump but what to you expect? I didn't want this thread to get lost and I couldn't exactly make a new one just for a question.

Edited March 16, 2007 by agent17

[gamerzworld]

What happened to the converter page?

[AndyGanteks]

I just also saw it is gone.Maybe edison is active again with VCS and preparing a surprise or he made a better converter.Dont know i just guessed!!
