Code Breaker Ver. 6.0 Review

[Liquidvlade]

Review by: - Liquidvlade Hiraduo
Product: Pelican Code Breaker Version 6.0

This version of the Code Breaker it's fairly good, of course every product has it flaws and it good things, in my review you will find few interesting things and you may decide to buy it or not. I think is better than the others, and I recommend it.

Controls have changed

Hold R3 and move = Shows up the help menu
L3 = changes the view
Select = Add new game
Triangle = Delete game, cheat, or code

The good

- When you are going to boot the game, the disc tray ejects automatically, and after the disc is inserted and X is pressed it closes automatically.

- It has a nice 3D interface, way much better than the old ones.

- B's and 8's don't look alike any more.

- The Code Breaker Ver. 6.0 supports a new type of "M" codes (enabler)

- When a code is selected it automatically turns on the "M" so you don't forget to activate it.

- In this version you can edit existing games.

- It's compatible with old CB Code Saves.

- It has lot's of codes preloaded on it.

- It boots the games in record time, really fast.

The Bad

- Takes more time to save the codes

- Takes up more space in the memory card (around 700 Kb's)

- Added games are added to the top of the Cheat List, instead of having it in order like previews version of the Code Breaker

- Still no keyboard support

- Some games are mixed, example in the Code Breaker Ver. 6.0 you cannot find codes for "Terminator - The Dawn of Fate" on the list, but if you go to "Turok: Evolution" list you will find the codes for "Terminator - The Dawn of Fate" in the same list mixed.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Stars

To identify the product in the store

Can you make a backup of it and see if it works?

[bucky]

[Up]/[Down] Scroll up and down the game/code list

[Left]/[Right] Go From; Game <> Cheats <> Codes

[Select] Add New Game/Code (Main Menu: Shows CB Version Info)

[Start > Save Changes & Go back to Main Screen

Game Selected Turns on/off all codes under that game/ Code Selected turn on/off that code... (Main Menu select's Start Game/Select Cheats)

Same as [Right]

Delete Game/Cheat/Code (Can't Delete Premade Codes)

Edits Game Name/Cheat/Code (You Can Edit Pre Made Game Names/ Cheat Names but not codes)

[L1] Page Up/ Hold for fast scroll up
[L2] Top of list

[R1] Page Down/ Hold for fast scroll down
[R2] Bottem of list

(L3) Press and move analog to change angle (Main Menu: Water Effect Cursor)

(R3) Hold to display help on the Right tap to reset angle (Main: Menu: Water Effect Rain)

I give it a 4 out of 5 because it rembers the last code you added and brings it over when you add a new one... Would have been 5/5 if it had Keyboard support

thanks bucky I fixed it

[ThAD0oD]

i thought that the codebreaker went down the shitter because of the all those other partners suing each other?

[bosx2]

please anybody tell me if its a CD or DVD, and the exact TOC size ... thanks!

[peeps]

will this version work with a magic 2?

[bucky]

The CodeBreakers on a CD. I don't know the size because me CD-ROM's F**KED UP

[Cooldy]

In My Computer the file size for the CD is 622MB. In Nero it says the CD is 717MB, and the length is 70:52:33

In my ps2 when it had a Magic2 clone in it the CodeBreaker worked fine with originals but it wouldn't boot copies.
I should be getting my PS2 back pretty soon with a Magic3.1 in it.
