Game on Steam Deck and the emulator is installed through EmuDeck, if it's worth anything.

It does not recognize any cheat.
I have another cheat for 16:9 aspect ratio, which is saved in the 'cheats_ws' folder, I don't know if that creates a conflict or something.

I wish it was that, but no, I have everything activated. It's very strange it doesn't detect anything. I have tried to use another route for the cheats folder in case it was something that I did not have privileges or who knows but nothing even with those, it does not work.


This is the .pnach file and this is the path where it is stored.

Thank you again for the help!

In this screenshot the most relevant thing I see is that your emulator is updated to a more recent version, when I try to update it tells me that there are no more recent versions.

The problem is a CRC mismatch. In your screenshot labeled "MH2 Summary", do you see the section labeled CRC? Yours is 828E80DE, which means your MH2 executable has been modified in some way, and the checksum no longer matches an original game (Maybe because of a control patch, or something else applied to your game).

Our English translation patch doesn't change the game's executable file (the 'SLPM_662.80' file, located on the disc. The English translation does add code, but not in that space), so the CRC stays the same between an original game and English-only patched game, but other patches may change it.

To fix the problem, rename your cheat file:

Code: Select all

Old Filename: 2F0E94A1_PSP_BONUS.pnach
New Filename: 828E80DE_PSP_BONUS.pnach

I hope that works for you! Enjoy Monster Hunter 2!

Thats it Kresna! Thank you very much.
I had applied the MH2Plus patch to change the control scheme and that's where everything came from, now it recognizes it perfectly when I change the name to my CRC.

Thanks you so much again and Amy too who help me since beginning, hope we can see in Dundorma!
