Pissed...

Hi I'm not a hacker like GMO or any other l33ts so I used decoders like avatar's, gamehaxtool, and codeconverterbeta2 to convert some CB2 ---> GS2v2 codes. Unfortunately....

All of the programs don't work! Yea I heard lots of ppl say that these decoders worked (BUT) all they did was convert GS2v2 --> GS2v3, they never try converting from GS2v3 CB2 ---> GS2v2.

The results however for all the decoders I recieved were all the same. For example:

I've converted "Mafia CB2" (M) code to GS2v2 and all decoders gave me this same result....(With BCA99B83 encryption)

CB2-(M)FA7A006E 329D6CE9 GS2v2-(M)EE8EFE86 BCE57E22

So I punched in the (m)code along with the infinite health code (2A83361E 00000000
2A9F361B 00000000 - CB2)(DE87FDB6 BCA99B83
DE87F0A2 BCA99B83 - GS2v2) into my GS2v2 like I normally do and surprises me that those codes don't work (AGAIN)....I stressed the word AGAIN because I've tried these decoder with FFX-2's codes as well and the converted codes never worked....Yea the game boots fine and no glitch whatsoever but the codes just don't work!

I'm starting to lose hopes on these decoders because they only work for GS2v2 ---> GS2v3 NOT VICE VERSA. They gotta start making new decoders that actually WORKS.

Direct conversions of master/enable codes don't always work because the different devices don't all use the same methods. It will work sometimes, but in the case of the M code you posted there's no way a direct conversion will work on a GSv2/ARv2. If Codejunkies has an (M) code use that and convert the other codes based on its encryption.

Edit: Here's the CJ's M Code
0E3C7DF2 1853E59E
EEA21312 BCE57E22

Or, just make your own raw (M) which is easy enough and convert that to AR2, not forgetting to add 0E3C7DF2 1853E59E as the first line. You don't need to be a hacker or anything else to do that, anybody can do it.

Well thank you Pyriel and nemises for helping me. I appreciate your tips but can you guys plz tell me how to make a raw (m) or is there a guide that teaches ppl how to do that?

And what do you do with this Cj's m code you just posted? (0E3C7DF2 1853E59E
EEA21312 BCE57E22)

thnx both you.

Well, to make a raw (M) is easy. I'll tell you the basics, very basic.

Download PS2DIS, search on google for that. Open it and drag your games SLES/SCES/SLUS/SCUS file into PS2DIS. Scroll down the page a bit until you come to the first line that has the word 'jal' in it, it will be directly under a line that has 'syscall' in it. Say the jal line has the address 001001A0, that is the first part of the (M), just change the first 0 to an F so F01001A0. Now you need the value, probably the best AR2 value to use is the address of the second jal +3 so, the second jal would be at 001001A8 + 3 gives you 001001AB. Complete raw (M) therefore is F01001A0 001001AB, then use a converter to convert that to AR2 which would give you EE8EFD1E BCB99C2E, so complete AR2 (M) is:

0E3C7DF2 1853E59E
EE8EFD1E BCB99C2E

Like I say, very simple explanation but it works. Personally I use the value 0000000E on AR2 because the 2ND jal value does not always activate 60HZ and Y-Fix codes which are the only codes I ever use.

Nice explanation! It is easy like you said. Thnx for your time.

*BTW I just figured out my Mafia Unlimited health code!*

like pyriel said CJ canuse use CB2 codes, why
Codebreaker using Entry Point Master codes, which AR2/GS2 can not use, entry point? (FA7A006E) <-entry point

as for the FFX-2 master code here is a quick way to convert it from CB2 to GS2v2
as nemesis said put the codes in RAW format
FA7A006E 329D6CE9 becomes F0100008 003CE39F

replace the address (xxxxxxxx 003CE39F)
with the value so you will have the value down twice
003CE39F 003CE39F

now just subtract 3 from the address now
(003CE39F-3 = 003CE39C)
003CE39C 003CE39F is your code so far

Change the command to "F" giving you
F03CE39C 003CE39F

convert it to gs2v2 giving you EEA21312 BCE57E22

Final M Code
0E3C7DF2 1853E59E
EEA21312 BCE57E22

testing...
Results: WORKS!

Looks at Pyriel's posts... Whoa M Codes match...
