[Tutorial] Installing CWCheat for ChickHen + CFW Enabler 3.60

[iamafreak]

Requirement

A psp 2000 (with TA-088v3 mobo) or psp 3000 running ChickHen + CFW Enabler 3.60 (This may work with other versions of CFW Enabler as well)

Update 22-Sep-2009 - For those who are still having problems enabling cwcheat, open pops.txt and game.txt in 'wordpad' (not in notepad) and add the text.

Important - Once u have followed these steps your cwcheat plugin will be activated...
Don't go to CFWE and enable it in there...This wont work.


STEPS

1.Download the latest cwcheat from here - CWCHEATS, PSP, Cheat, Tips - 689 GAMES and 9253 CHEATS on DB (http://cwcheat.consoleworld.org/)

http://i28.tinypic.com/33xvptv.jpg

2. Right Click and extract the files using WinRAR

3. Once extracted , you will have these files and folders:
http://i31.tinypic.com/sfax5t.jpg

4. Copy the seplugins folder which is inside the INSTALL folder to the root of ur memorystick.

5. If you already have a seplugins folder in the root of ur memory stick, then copy cwcheat folder, game.txt file and pops.txt file which is inside seplugins folder to ur psp ms0:/seplugins/
If you already have game.txt file and pops.txt in ms0:/seplugins/ , then copy only the cwcheat folder to ms0:/seplugins/

make sure that u have these files inside ms0:/seplugins/
(game150.txt is not required)

http://i29.tinypic.com/2sajn20.jpg

6. Open pops.txt in wordpad and add this line to it
ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat/cwcheatpops.prx 1
save and close pops.txt. this will enable cwcheat for ur psx games
http://i32.tinypic.com/2qkldsp.jpg

7. similarly open game.txt in wordpad and add this line to it:
ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat/cwcheat.prx 1
save and close. this will enable cwcheat for ur psp games
http://i31.tinypic.com/9s8pso.jpg

Thats it. To enable cheats during a game, click on the select button for 3-5 seconds. This will pop up the cheat menu. In here you can enable/disable cheats, select cheats etc.

Enjoy cheating :mrgreen:

This worked for PSX but not for PSP games. Thanks though, I really only need it for turbo on Persona 2 so I don't have to spends hours hitting the [] button for gambling.

[iamafreak]

which psp game is it not working for? maybe i can help.

[ShineAqua]

Crimson Gem Saga is the only one I've tried, but CFWE isn't recognizing anything but the pops prx.

[Mirri]

Tried doing this, and it doesn't look like it works on either Dissidia (UMD version) nor MHFU (iso version). I tried going into CFWE and turn in the plugins that way, and it shows a plugin for [GAME] but it reads it as "off". I try turning it "on", go back, then back in, it still counts it as "off", and does not work. I go back into the memstick and look at the game.txt and it just shows "1" without the .prx file path.

I've not tested it on a PSX game.

[ShineAqua]

I'm not even getting the plugin for [GAME] under the CFWE recovery menu, just [POPS], not that I care that much about it, but it'd help with the shmups.

The cheat.db is not up to date..
download the latest cheat.db from here:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/who93h

copy this file to \seplugins\cwcheat\
replace the existing file with this one...

Special thanks to Joe88 for the latest db.

I only did this to see if it was recognized by CFWE as "On" which adding the "1" behind the directory SHOULD tell the firmware. I will try updating the db and see if that's the issue, but the db that comes with the latest update should have at least Crimson Gem Saga cheats in it, as that game's fairly old. I'll let you know how it goes.

EDIT: Just re-installed everything and updated the DB, and as I suspected - no dice. The menu should come up weither cwcheats has cheats for the current game or not. As you've written the instructions, it does not work for PSP games, UMD nor ISO/CSO on the PSP-3000, with ChickHEN and CFWE 3.60 with 5.03 MHU. Sorry.

I'm confirming this one. CWcheats does not work with ChickHEN R2+ 5.03MHU CFW

Followed the instructions and updated the .db file still nothing.

it works... i am using it. U must be doing something wrong..
Connect ur psp to pc via usb, open pops.txt and Game.txt
Tell me whats written in these two files...

I can't seem to make it work.

i have the TA-008V3 with ChickHENR2+5.03MHU...It works without a hitch.
Can you connect your psp to ur pc.
Open ms0:/seplugins/
open the pops.txt and game.txt file
paste the content of these files in ur reply here..

[lordango]

ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat/cwcheat.prx 1 --> GAME
ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat/cwcheatpops.prx 1 --> POPS

[iamafreak]

that looks good..
Do one thing...Shut down ur psp completely.
Enable ChickHen and CFW Enabler again...

Now start a game and check if cwcheat is working

[lordango]

still no luck..

do you think the region matters? i got mine from taiwan 2007 model

thanks for the guide anyway. im giving up.

ill just play monster hunter unite the hard way.

thank you for the support.

[Gusha]

iamafreak... ive got a 3k running 5.03MHU and ive got the same problems... no joy at all! Ive reset and re-installed ChickHen and CFWE3.6 and still no luck...this after updating the DB file and double checking my GAME and POPS txt Files... any ideas?

[iamafreak]

can u open \seplugins\cwcheat\

it should have these files and folders.

Not sure what else could be wrong..I have the exact same settings...

http://i32.tinypic.com/idzw3c.jpg

[Gusha]

Yeah, very close onlt file sizes differ...

MC - 0
Remaps - 0
Text - 0
Cheat - 694
Cheatpops - 2.568
cwcheat - 126
cwcheatpops - 127

I dont know if that matters...?!

[ShineAqua]

Okay, do exactly as the tutorial says, and do NOT go into the CFWE recovery menu, and it should work just fine. I just tried it, because I accidentally reset my PSP, and it works just fine, thanx.

[iamafreak]

@ShineAqua - good to hear that u got it to work :D

for those who are still having trouble installing it , open pops.txt and game.txt in wordpad and add the lines. Dont open the .txt files in notepad (it may or may not work)

I have updated the tutorial accordingly...

[sadeghjeff]

hey dude! Thanks for your great step-by-step toturial. i did it and yes it worked great on PSP 3000 MHU 5.03, even without restarting or turning it off. but i have a question. is there any official website of CWcheat so we can download latest Cheat.DB??if there is not, so where can we find the latest one?
Again Thanks Alot for your instruction

[iamafreak]

the official website is http://cwcheat.consoleworld.org/

but its no longer updated... u can use the db from this thread...its almost up to date:
http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/f119/cwcheat-dbs-update-thread-t241144/

[Kamrul]

Thanks. Works great:D

[Rexkh]

I have tried it and meet all of your problems. The trick is:

1. Edit file game.txt and pops.txt with wordpad.
2. Update database given by iamafreak.
2. Do not run CFWE 3.60 after you boot up Custom Firmware (or maybe don't go to plugin)

Enjoy!
Thanks iamafreak for your hard work

[bestyugiman]

Thx for this tutorial . but will this work on normal phat psp 5.50 gen-b2 ( and will be 5.50 gen-c tonight ) ?

[austen990]

will this work on psp1000 and psp2000 ??

[iamafreak]

yes, this will work on psp 1000 and 2000

[bestyugiman]

Ok thx for the info iamafreak

[xSnappsx]

I have a PSP-3000 5.03mhu and having trouble getting this to work for PSX games. I tried it on a psp game and it worked just fine. However when I try and start up a PSX game it just turns black and turns off the system. Thus I have to redo Chickhen and CFW 3.6 all over again.

Before attempting CWCheat my seplugins folder looked like this

Popsloader Folder
popsloader.prx
and a pops.txt with line (ms0:/seplugins/popsloader.prx 1)


Now following your intrustions my seplugins folder looks like this:
Cwcheat folder
popsloader folder
game.txt reading (ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat/cwcheat.prx 1)
popsloader.prx
pops.txt (ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat/cwcheatpopsloader.prx 1)

What have I done wrong? Or am I just having bad luck due to editing the pops.txt?

Edit: When changing the value of the pops.txt back to what I have originally had it has this problem no longer occurs, but likewise cwcheat does not appear for psx games, only psp.

What u got there on pops.txt is wrong.

Ur pops.txt should look like this:


ms0:/seplugins/popsloader.prx 1
ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat/cwcheatpops.prx 1

[xSnappsx]

Thank you so much, didn't realize I was supposed to do that. Stupid mistake on my part.

[iamafreak]

no probs man..glad to help

[necrogodomega]

I'm running CFW 5.03 GEN-B (Full)

I'm trying to get this working, it WILL show up just fine, but when I enter the "select cheats" section it just seems to never do anything.

I can turn "on" the "enable cheats" part. But if I do this I have no idea which cheats are working.

Am I doing sth wrong?

[iamafreak]

When u enter "Select Cheats", do u get a list of cheats..For example: Infinite health, infinite ammo etc?

If u dont see the list, it means that the cheats for the game are not available in the cheat.db

[fgwafu]

can i do this also with 5.03 GEN-B (Full)??????

[necrogodomega]

Yeah, after playing around more last night I realized that was the case. There didn't seem to be any cheat listings for the games I was trying. Some others did work just fine though.

I tried to download the latest cheat .db from this link, but it wouldn't connect. Is there another place I can try to get an updated list as Disgaea 2, Persona 2 (PSX), Person (PSP), Dissida, and Symphony of the Night I really wanted some codes for?

Thanks for the replay.

[zafz]

can i do this also with 5.03 GEN-B (Full)??????

Yes.

[fgwafu]

yeh its working.. i wonder how many files are there inside the rar file but the only thing to copy is the seplugins??? confused... what's the use of other files??

You will find most of the cheats in this database:

[xKaikz]

Ugh, i'm getting sick of all the fucking hackers online.
Especially Resistance.

[fgwafu]

why is it that when im using the cheat of nfs undercover it just crushes it... my psp hang's up and then turn off.. in that case i have to run chikHEN again./.

cwcheat does tend to crash on some games.. See if u can get new cheats for the game and replace the existing ones.

is this the latest database?? not the one that you post at the first page?? it is 1.4mb whereas the one you posted at the first page is only around .7mb??

[iamafreak]

yup, the one I posted now is the latest db.

[fgwafu]

then its better for you t update the thread of joe88, because the database he uploaded is only .7mb, half of the database you uploaded that is latest as what have you said..

[necrogodomega]

Guess it's just me haha. I can't get the mediashare or the other site to open at all, Just comes back as a 404 error. Maybe we can't get those pages (for some reason).

Is there a way to make my own codes for those games?

Can you open rapidshare or megaupload atleast... I can upload it there or anywhere else..Just let me know.

[necrogodomega]

Rapidshare.com works smoothly. If you'd bump it up there, I'd be very greatful.

[iamafreak]

can u check back after a couple of hours.... I am at work now and unfortunately I dont have access to rapidshare :(
Will upload it as soon as i get home.

[necrogodomega]

It's nearly midnight here so I'll check tomorrow (Beijing Time). It's really amazing that you're helping so much, I'm very greatful. Thanks for all the work!

here is the rapidshare link:

Wee my first time using a plug in and this guide made it easy xD

downloading the latest db :D

[necrogodomega]

Awesome man, thanks a ton.

[seancass35]

have 5.03 Gen-B (Full) for custom firmware...and i can't get CWcheats to run

[iamafreak]

Do u have everything in the right places? Just double check if u have the lines in game.txt and pops.txt

[seancass35]

yup...seplugins are in the root of my memory stick..and there is a number 1 next to the cwcheatpops.prx in the pops file......but for some reason it totally erased the line in the games text file with the cwcheats.prx (had the one next to it)....i had written it in and then when it transferred......it was gone and all i have on the games text file is a 0

[iamafreak]

Open game.txt in wordpad and add the line. Adding the line using notepad is not a good idea.

Edit the text in WORDPAD not notepad and after the last plugin press enter and enter the new one as a new line save and exit

Thank you. I made an account just so I could post and say thank you. I had used notepad and I was going crazy because it didn't work. After I read your post and did it with wordpad, I'm now happily cheating.

[utsushimi]

Why can't i manual cheat? Whenever i press it, nothing happens.....

[KentaZX]

sooo i hear this cheat thing can let me use gameshark cheats on ps1 eboots (ps1 isos turned into psp eboots). is that true? if so how? o: ooor is it the same way as psp game?

EDIT: mods delete THIS post cuz found out myself.

[KentaZX]

Nice! it worked on my ps1 games! thanks! i thought i would need popsloader to do this, guessed not :)

[hopashir]

Out of the many posts, this one attract my attention. I believe it is possible for anyone to participate.

[bluraptor]

[Nik53]

ms0:/seplugins/cwcheat/cwcheatpops.prx 1 - pops

U may also try shutting down ur psp completely, restart it and see if the plugin works.

[Nik53]

I've tried that but nothing change... and no its not fake...
