Yes, this is yet another NitePR mod. I know what you are thinking the majority of those mods just change some colours and some text and nothing useful the device but I'm hoping mine will be different.

The reason for this mod is because I wanted a way to test PSPAR codes on CFW, for me it was easier just to implement the PSPAR code types into an existing cheat device rather then try and patch the PSPAR EBOOT to run on CFW so that is what I have done.

Unlike the official PSPAR cheat device a more simple code file format is utilized for loading codes, the format is much like the CWCheat cheat database format but instead of code lines being preceeded with "_L " they are preceeded with "_M ".

I also got bored and decided to implement the CWCheat code types so hopefully most CWCheat codes should work with this cheat device.

... oh yeah, this is just called PSPAR for the momment because I can't really think of a decent name for it.

Installation Instructions

1. Copy the seplugins folder to your Memory Stick and add "ms0:/seplugins/PSPAR/pspar.prx 1" to game.txt (if you don't copy the game.txt file over).

In-Game Controls

1. Show cheat menu: Press home twice followed by VOLUP+VOLDOWN).
2. Enable Cheat Engine: Press Note.
3. Screenshot: Press SELECT+VOLDOWN.

General Differences

• This cheat device does not work on OFW! (durr). However it does work on CFW which the official PSPAR does not.
• Support for folders and in-game comments is not available to keep things simple.
• Instead of using a complex binary file for the code a CWCheat-style file is used for simple code entry.

Code Engine Differences

• The offset is added to the address for conditional code types. The ARDS didn't support this and I'm not sure if the official PSPAR does.
• Some button press codes from the official PSPAR database may not work because the code engine seems to write the button press value to a difference address for each game.
• Fake addresses were added to allow button press code to easily be ported over to this cheat device.
• The code engine also has preliminary support for CWCheat codes.

General Differences

• Codes are loaded from a single CWCheat-style file instead of using a single text file for each game. This will save a lot of MS space, depending on how the MS is formatted and the amount of code files on the MS it can save over 20MB!
• Real addresses are used by default for the decoder and browser as PSPAR uses real values for the address.

Code Engine Differences

• NitePR code type support was removed, lol a NitePR mod which doesn't support NitePR codes!
• SOCOM related stuff was removed.
• Off-code support was removed, with the complex code types of CWCheat and PSPAR keeping the off-code function was not a viable option.

General Differences

• A new line type _C2 has been added. Code names with this line prefix will be enabled regardless of the if the cheat engine is enabled or not.

Code Engine Differences

• Code types 0xC and 0xB are currently not implemented. These code types may be implemented in a future revision.

Fake address are used to return system information which either can't be accessed from memory or does not have a static address. Presently these addresses can only be accessed using the exact address listed (ie. no 8/16-bit retrieval of the upper return bits).

• PSPAR.com: Updated PSP Action Replay codes.
• GBAtemp PSP Cheat Database: Updated CWCheat codes.
• GBAtemp Cheat Forum: Codes not yet in the PSP cheat database.
• Kodinator (by Normmat): Analyzes a PSPAR format code.

• Q: Can we use both CWCheat and PSPAR code types in a single code?
  
  A: Yes the cheat engine supports using both PSPAR and CWCheat code types within a single code however it is recommended to avoid this to offer best compatibility with the original CWCheat and PSPAR cheat engines. It should also be noted that when one of the cheat engines is set to inactive using a conditional code the other cheat engine still applies the codes.

Thanks go out to the following people, without them this would not have been possible:

• The original NitePR Coders: SANiK, imk and telazorn are probably the most to thank for this as a large amount of the original code and ideas were theres from NitePR.
• RedHate: Improving upon the NitePR code base.
• NoEffex: The corrupt PSID function as well as possibly some other code.
• Normmatt: His great code type analyzer tool.
• EnHacklopedia Contributors: The very extensive and well written code type information (available at Kodewerx).
• Datel: Defining a very simple to implement code type specification which offers a very complex level of functionality.
• weltall: The CWCheat cheat device and all the great code types which were implemented into it... even if the non-standard pointer codes were a bitch to implement.
