Well, another rev0 limitation, it does not load FCDCHEATS on CB start

Any hope to have these all baked into the CDI?

For those burning to disc who also want the full cheat file, you may be aware of the modified version of CodeBreaker from this thread.

I went ahead and built a new version of this disc image to include the full cheat file. I haven't yet tested it beyond ensuring that it boots. If anyone would like to give it a try, I shared it here: viewtopic.php?p=189816#p189816

This version is not designed for GDEMU.

Are you using openMenu? If so, CodeBreaker is already built-in and contains all of the same "complete" cheats as the CDI I built. That CDI is designed for those burning games, as it's a modified version of CodeBreaker than can booth both retail GD-ROMs and burned games.

If you're using legacy gdMenu, there's a special version of CodeBreaker that's been around for ages now. It doesn't have all of the baked-in cheats (it has some though), but still functions. You can download it below in case you haven't found it.

Note that you can also download the extra cheats right to your VMU using this disc image I created: viewtopic.php?p=183020#p183020

The Wingman SD lets you copy the virtual VMU file to your PC for backup, and inadvertantly for editing as well. Has anyone tried using the VMU tool to copy the file onto a virtual VMU and then using the official Brook VMU tool to copy it back? I hope I remember to try it out tomorrow. I'm really curious to see what having all of these cheats is like.

I'm lost on this. Is there a way to merge the .bin from xpdccc and the FCDCHEATS.BIN that is built-in to the OpenMenu?

It seems strange that the OpenMenu cheats include so many, yet removes games like NFL Blitz 2001 or HOTD2 (which are literally the two games I am trying to cheat on).

When I open either of the .BIN files (utilizing something like Notepad++), it is nearly unreadable. I don't know how I would even copy and paste into the files, or if that's even possible.

This cheat file is designed to complement the cheats that are already built into Codebreaker but if OpenMenu uses my cheats file exclusively (my DC has a MODE so I have no way of checking this), then my guess is that existing cheats for games like NFL Blitz 2001 and HOTD2 will be missing.

I could probably combine my cheats file with the ones built into Codebreaker but that would then leave a lot of duplicates in Codebreaker and would also probably not fit on a VMU either.
