Copy the code without 0x, so it would be 6A4EFE60. CREATE THE PNACH FILENow, navigate to the emulator installation folder ( usually in C:Program FilesPCSX2, but it can be different) and open the folder called Cheats.NOTE: By default, a folder called Cheats will also be created in My Documents.
Don’t get confused with this folder, because this procedure only worked using the folder inside the emulator installation folder.In the cheats folder, let’s create a New Text Document and rename it with the CRC code from the previous step. In this example, my file would be 6A4EFE60.txt. However, you have to change its extension from txt to pnach, which is the extension for files that store the game’s information, such as name, comment, cheats, etc. To do so, open the Control Panel, then Appearance and Personalization, and click on Folder Options. In the new window, click on the View tab and uncheck the “ Hide extensions for known file types” option, like the picture below: Uncheck this optionAfter applying the modification, go back to the Cheats folder, you should see the.txt extension in the file.

Then, in the Output tab, always choose Unencrypted Standard to get the RAW code. Next, click on the Convert button. Look at an example:Convert the codesOn the left side, the Action Replay codes. Patch=1,EE, YYYYYYYY,extended, ZZZZZZZZ.If you write patch=0, it means that the code will remain disabledChange the lines according to your codes, following the color example. In this case, the file would be like this: The PNACH fileNow save it and close.
ENABLE THE CODESBack to the emulator, in the System menu, click Enable Cheats. When you run the game, check the logs. It should be written something like this at the last lines: “ Loaded X Cheats from ‘6A4EFE60.pnach'” (The name of your PNACH file).
