PCSX2

When installing cheat codes, refer to the instructions related to “cheats”. Otherwise, refer to “patches”.

1. Locate your patches (or cheats) directory. If your PCSX2 installation is portable, the directory resides next to PCSX2’s executable file. Otherwise, it’s located in Documents\PCSX2.
2. Put the downloaded .pnach file in that directory, ensure the file extension is not .pnach.txt.
3. Launch PCSX2, right click the game you’ve installed content for on the Game List and select Properties....
4. Navigate to Patches (or Cheats) and enable the item(s) you want to use by ticking the Enabled box.

   

5. Verify that patches (or cheats) have been activated correctly by launching the game. If everything was done correctly, a ‘X game patches are active.’ (or ‘X cheat patches are active.’) message will show on startup in the top left corner.
