    As the title says.

    So, is there a way for me to use cheats on this emulator ?
    There's an option called "Enable cheats" and a cheat folder, so I assume I need to put something there but I don't know what that something is.

    Or is there some neat program that help me use cheats like the PSX Emulation Cheater for the PSX Emulators ?

    I hope someone here may know more about this one.

    You could always try a Gameshark and see if that works. :)

    Ah yes, that is my last options if nothing else worked though. :p

    I'm just curious about that cheat folder and the enable cheat option.
    If there's a program or build-in support for cheats, it will be easier instead of using gameshark and swapping disc or ISO.

    The cheats was stored in the Pnach files, if you know how to make it then it will be easier to you.

    Haven't tested it myself though, just make sure to place the pnach file in the 'cheats' folder, and enable the cheats.
    System -> Enable Cheats

    That seems kind of confusing.
    Mega, do you by chance know how to make these .pnach files ?
    Or is there a place to download them ?

    The .pnach file can be made using the Notepad, certain command lines, as well the converted codes(which you can get from the cheats site).
    This thread has some .pnach files that was made by the users from the main site, also includes a useful explanation on how to make your own .pnach files.

    It's not really that confusing if you read the guide thoroughly and follow it step by step.

    Thanks Mega. :)
