Codebreaker all cheats save file available to download *UPDATED 2025-04-24*

[retrofan01]

Instructions - Version 2.6 (use only for OpenMenu/GDEmu - this will NOT fit on a standard 200 block VMU):

Extract FCDCHEATS.BIN from the ZIP file then copy it to the following folder inside GDMENU Card Manager, overwriting the old one:

OPENMENU\GDMENUCardManager.v2.0.1-win-x64\tools\openMenu\menu_data\cheats\

Of course, you must then open GDMENU Card Manager with your SD card loaded, then click "Save Changes" in order to rebuild openMenu with the new cheat database.


Instructions - Version 1.5 (use for all other situations - this is the only version of the file that will fit on a standard 200 block VMU):

If you have a VM2 or similar device, copy CODEBREA.VMU (found inside the VM2 folder) to the appropriate location on your VM2's SD card.

If you don't have a VM2 or similar device, you can either:

- use ateam's VMU Disc Builder to create a CDI image containing the supplied .VMI and .VMS files (found inside the VMU Disc Builder folder)

- use a Dreamcast SD card adaptor to copy the FCDCHEATS file (found inside the DreamShell folder) over to your VMU. To do this:

Copy the FCDCHEATS file to an SD card then insert the SD card into your Dreamcast SD card adaptor. Power on your Dreamcast, load DreamShell (I used 4.0.0 Beta 4 which is an older version) then run File Manager.

File Manager must then be used to copy FCDCHEATS from the SD card (/sd) over to your VMU (/vmu/a1, /vmu/a2, /vmu/a3 or /vmu/a4 depending on which controller port your VMU is connected to). Importing the file onto a VMU file using VMU Explorer will not work.


The FCDCHEATS file uses 194 out of 200 blocks so it will require its own VMU.

The fcdcheats.txt file containing all the codes is also included. This can be loaded into Xplorer DC Code Compiler and edited further with additional or replacement codes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

After several years of manually inputting Codebreaker codes using the DC controller whenever I wanted to try a new game, I discovered Xplorer DC Code Compiler recently and decided to put together a complete CodeBreaker cheats file containing:

- all unique codes from GameHacking.org
- codes already built into CodeBreaker
- widescreen codes
- other codes from the Dreamcast-Talk forum


I used the following criteria to determine which codes to add:

- one game one region (1G1R) - this is mostly USA with some Japan-only games but there are a few games which I included PAL cheats for due to one of the following reasons:
- I've personally played through those games in their entirety using those codes and found they worked better than their NTSC equivalents (e.g. Record of Lodoss War, Silver)
- cheat code creators have posted codes for a PAL version of a game which have no NTSC equivalent

- all codes are decrypted (CodeBreaker/XplorerDC). Any encrypted (Action Replay/GameShark) codes have been converted to decrypted format using DCcrypt

Awesome thank you for this. Apologies for my ignorance here but what is the best way to get this save file onto a memory card? I should know how to do this but I guess I do not

[ateam]

Thank you so much for putting this together!

[MetroidTalon]

Is there a what so I do with this or how to use guide?

[retrofan01]

Awesome thank you for this. Apologies for my ignorance here but what is the best way to get this save file onto a memory card? I should know how to do this but I guess I do not

Copy FCDCHEATS onto an SD card, then use a Dreamcast SD card adaptor and File Manager in DreamShell to copy the file onto a VMU.

Thank you so much for putting this together!

Thank you for all your efforts in the DC translation space - Sakura Wars Columns 2 was one of the games I very much enjoyed in 2023. I have no programming or hardware skills so this is my small way of giving back to the community

For the life of me CB refuses to save. I recall even trying other saves of it and would be ignored

Tried with formatted VMU all same CB is only against me

Great to see Rent A Hero and Nanatsu Seven Mansions! When my VM2 finally lands I'm definitely doing this and hope

[FloDoc]

Hahahaha! Man, I just finished making a txt file with all the codes I could find, but it was way too big for the VMU! I will check this one out for sure! Thanks for the effort here! I was trying to figure out if there would be a way to just have the codes added directly to the PELICAN.BIN so the VMU can just be avoided altogether. I think it's possible from what I've read, but I have no idea how to do it lol!

Nice work here!

Guides often explore typical problems and use cases a developer might experience using your product (or refer to more detailed examples elsewhere)

[OGDCFAN99]

This is awesome but is there a way to modify the Codebreaker ISO with these cheats and make a new bootable CDI with everything in it? I believe its been done with the Dream Explorer image at one point.

[deluxux]

The latest openmenu has codebreaker built in.. Can we use this file with it
