PS2 Developer pelvicthrustman of psx-scene has updated Mastercode Finder 2.00 for PS2 games. Mastercode Finder analyzes ELF files (PS2 Executables) and generates RAW 90-type master codes (compatible with ps2rd/Codebreaker 9.3+). You can find these files in the main directory of your CD/DVD/ISO. Example ELF: SLUS_211.68

New in version 2.00

- Searches for functions by label if present
- Improved sceSifSendCmd detection
- Identifies scePadRead/scePad2Read/main type mastercodes
- Command line version included in ZIP (mastercode_finder_cmd.exe)
- An icon!

Message from the Developer:

I'd like some motivated individuals to report on the compatibility of these mastercodes.

Specifically I want:
[Cheat Program and version]
[Game Name]-[Game ID]-[Worked/Did not work]-[Mastercode produced (if any)]-[Mastercode type (if any)]

for example:
ps2rd 0.5.4
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness-SLUS_211.68-Worked-90760558 0C1D80FE-sceSifSendCmd

Post any errors that the program generates here (in their entirety) and I'll see what I can do to fix it.

If a Mastercode Finder fails to generate a mastercode for a game please run (from command prompt)

Code:

mastercode_finder_cmd -v "ELF file path" > report.txt

and send me the report.txt file so I can take a look at it. Please report them in this official support thread for Mastercode Finder: Click Here

Awesome!
Looking for it many times.
Indispensable when needed homemade codes to unpopular game/rare builds, demos. - other, what you can't find in armax/code breaker base

Well, I have a phat and a slim PS2.

Where do I go from here... and how do I get to there... that is the question.

What am I to do?

1st you need to soft-mod your units. Look into FreeMCBoot -- there are several ways to install it.
2nd you need to install OPL 9 and decide to use PS2 ISO's through your network (PC) or USB or Internal HDD.
3rd you install ps2rd or codebreaker9+ and start grabbing widescreen cheats to make your natural 4:3 PS2 games to display in 16:9.

Then you can use this tool above to grab the "true" mastercode for those cheats.

Plus all the help and tutorials you can find them here in this site. Just post your questions in the correct sub-forum and we'll give you the assistance you deserve.

If only the ps2dis sources were available. If this tool can determine the location of the sceSifSendCmd() function, imagine how much better PS2DIS would have been with such functionality.

Right now, everybody is still manually locating and labeling the SifBindRpc() and SifCallRpc() functions for that disassembler to analyse with.

Great job on that!
