Thread: Tutorial: How to convert cheat codes and add them to Swap Magic 3.8 Coder

This tutorial is for people that need help playing games on Coder.

Tools needed:
Omniconvert

Code:

http://www.shareonall.com/omniconvert_1.0.2_R_mhlf_rar.htm

SM3.8 Coder. You should already have it if you are reading this)
Elf version:

Code:

http://www.ps2iso.net/index.php?topic=1296.0

CD/DVD Version: Buy it.

Converting:
It's very easy and doesn't really need a tutorial but here we go.

Converting from Codebreaker 7+ (Newer Codes) to RAW (Usable by Coder):
Step 1: Click the "Input" menu and select Codebreaker/Version 7+.

Step 2: Click the "Output" menu and select Unencrypted/Standard.

Step 3: Go to cmgsccc.com (you'll need to register) and under "Games" "Sony PlayStation®2" Select the game you want codes for (for the tutorial I'll use Silent Hill-Origins).

Special Note For "Enable" Codes: Enable or (M) Codes for 7+ have 4 lines of code

Code:

B4336FA9 4DFEFB79
72D71355 9EC1C62E
FD6A5670 9514C6E2
8BD5631F 9D76F1FB

And the first line is always the same for every game hacked for 7+

Code:

B4336FA9 4DFEFB79

We only need the last line when converting so this

Code:

B4336FA9 4DFEFB79
72D71355 9EC1C62E
FD6A5670 9514C6E2
8BD5631F 9D76F1FB

Would become this

Code:

8BD5631F 9D76F1FB

Step 4 Copy/paste the codes you want into the input section like so

MAKE SURE to delete the first three lines of the enable code!!
Step 5: Click the convert button in the bottom left corner.

Then you'll see your usable codes in the output field (See above picture)

For converting other code types:
Some games listed on cmgsccc.com have an Enable Code that has only 1 or 2 lines, these where hacked for versions 1-6 of the Codebreaker.
For 2 line (M) codes you need to keep BOTH lines for the game to work.
The steps are exactly the same as above except for Input select Codebreaker/Version 1+ and so on and so forth for what ever cheat device the codes are hacked for.

Supported code types are:
Unencrypted
Standard
Action Replay MAX
Action Replay V1/V2
Codebreaker
Gameshark V1/V2
Xploder/Gameshark V3
Actionreplay
Version 1
Version 2
MAX
Codebreaker
Version 1+
Version 7+
Gameshark
Interact
Version 1
Version 2
MadCatz
Version 3-4
Version 5+
Xploder
Version 1-3
Version 4
Version 5+

Note I will do code conversions if you ask politely but, you need to have tried and failed at least twice. (The code didn't work)
Since I explained it in detail and gave you an idiot proof tool I don't think I'll see many conversion requests.
For a request please reply to this thread instead of starting a new one.

Putting codes into the Swap Magic 3.8 Coder:

Note: My digital camera can't take proper pictures of my TV screen so this part won't have screen shots until I can find them from another source.

Step 1: Load up your coder (Either elf or cd/dvd)
Step 2: From the main menu select the "Cheat Menu" and hit X.
Step 3: You will be at the game list, Hit the Square button and select "ADD GAME" and hit X.
Step 4:Type in the Games name (eg. Silent Hill-Origins) and select the big check mark.

Note: User added games/codes are in all CAPITAL LETTERS because of the primitive interface of the coder.

Step 5: Select the game name and hit right on the D-Pad. You are now in the code list.
Step 6:Hit Square and select "ADD DESCRIPTION". Name the cheat.

Note: The Enable or (M) Code MUST BE FIRST otherwise none of the other codes will work.

Step 7: Select the cheat name and hit right on the D-Pad.
Step 8: Hit Square and select "ADD HEXCODE"
Step 9: Use the numbers and letters onscreen to enter the line of code you got from Omniconvert.

Note: For codes that have multiple lines of code you need to click "ADD HEXCODE" for every line.

Step 10: Repeat Steps 6-9 until you have put in every cheat you want to.
Step 11: Select all the cheats you want to use by highlighting the cheats name and hitting X.
Step 12: Hit Start and select "SAVE" from the popup.
Step 13: You'll be at the "Boot Disk" menu, select Normal or Special depending on your game and hit X.
There you go you cheater. ;D
