If anyone is wondering , i found a method to use codebreaker elf with an actual disc/back up disc. Just get ESR elf and rename to CB_launch elf and place in boot folder so instead of booting to opl it will boot to esr and you can select launch game and it will boot the disc in your tray.
Wow, that has never occurred to me because I don't use ESR anymore but that is really ingenious! If I could shake your hand, I would! Then I got to wash it off right away, no offense. :)
I always used a different path , after using code breaker it would then take me to ulauncherelf then I would select MISC then choose ps2Disc an that would work for me . Few games froze an some worked without a problem
@@swiftepidemic1114 first run code breaker to pick any cheats you want for yoru game once you have set it up and start game, wait for it to load up launcherelf then select misc folder then go to boot and click on OpenPS2Loader elf and it should be applied cheats once you start game from usb
Worked flawlessly for me had to do some looking around for the files because it wouldn't download but changing THE OPL.Elf file was easy just change the name and delete OPL and it works. Thanks versatile
So i downloaded BOOT folder and put CB and CB_Lunch on my flashdrive, and i went on luncherELF and runed CB but it only shows black screen. Some1 pls help.
+Project Phoenix Media No my game still works fine, but when i run CB screen is black and nothing is happening. I tryed to run it from my flash drive and my memory card and only black screen on both
I solved the problem!, You need to copy both ELF files to your Memory card(inside BOOT folder), Create a shortcut in free mcboot menu to codebreaker10.ELF, THE PROBLEM IS THE FLASHDRIVE, DON´T CONNECT your flashdrive, first run codebreaker from mcboot menu and codebreaker screen will appear, now connect your flashdrive and that is all. DON'T CONNECT YOUR FLASHDRIVE BEFORE RUNNING CODEBREAKER BECAUSE YOU WILL GET THE BLACK SCREEN. Hope you can make it.
Hola estimado como estas espero que bien mira estuve viendo tu video sobre ese programa del Codebreaker, yo lo tengo desde mi USB y lo lanzó dentro del ps2 pero al lanzarlo se me queda en pantalla negra 🥺😟y no logro habrir el programa, no saves cual puede ser el error estimado,espero que me ayudes porfa
Hey dude so I’m having issues. I’m doing everything right except I’m using a newer version of OPL to do this and I even renamed it but whenever I try to start the cheats it throws me to uLaunch. Pls help!
I believe i have found a solution to this; if your ps2 has a hdd take the renamed opl version on ur flash drive, copy then paste it into the boot folder on ur hdd. if that file already exists just replace it. make sure the .elf extension is in lower case. also make sure the renamed opl file matches the case for the original it should look exactly like this in uelf "CB_launch.elf". The ps2 is case sensitive when it comes to directories and files. Its a fickle bitch in that aspect.
I don't know why codebreaker and ps2 is so finicky. I have a new video coming up on a workaround to the black screen, but in summary start codebreaker, remove usb, select cheats, start game, plug usb back in. If fast enough it goes into OPL, otherwise, use ulaunchelf and load OPL manually. Small sacrifice for tons of good times.
hello, i need youe help, i have the original phat ps2, i followed your tutorial and i put the contents of the boot folder. and i the code breaker screen loads once i selected the cheats nothing happens game did not start try again what am i doing wrong? very frustated

Yeah this is a common issue with compatibility with flashdrives and the codebreaker program, basically all you have to do is go to uluanchelf find your codebreaker.elf file launch it then wait like 15 seconds on the black screen, once you have been on the black screen for awhile pull your flashdrive out and wait like 5 seconds and codebreaker should load up just fine, if you need help let me know.
Yeah that helped. Thanks alot. The only trouble is I have to plug my USB back in the moment I press Start Game or else it wont work. Any way to make this easier or fix this?
Hmm I'm not sure why your plugging in the usb again to start game? You shouldn't have to plug the the usb in anymore after you unplug it, codebreaker will run now without it. Are you having trouble booting to your game, like are you trying to use codebreaker with a ps2 disc, or with an OPL game?
RUclips Dude Oh sorry for the confusion. I'm trying to boot games with OPL, So I need to plug the USB back in. But if I plug in the USB while CB is running then CB will freeze. But if I dont plug it in then it assumes I'm trying to boot games off a disc. So the moment I press X on the Start Game prompt I have to plug in my USB or else it wont work.
Oh ok I see the problem. So honestly in my opinion ditch the method he is showing you in this video, the problem with it is that it takes way to long for codebreaker to launch with the USB plugged in, just take the codebreaker file don't put it in a boot folder just put it anywhere on your flash drive and rename it whatever you want CB10 or whatever you want, then launch it wait the 15 seconds at the black screen like I said before then 5 seconds eject flashdrive and should boot up fine, go ahead and select what cheats you want to use then press start, it should take you back to ulaunchelf screen again, from there insert the USB with your games in it and then go to the location of the OPL.elf you have and then everything should work out for you. Any further questions let me know.
after running codebreaker and hitting start game i get a black screen and nothing happens i have the .elf from your download in hdd0/boot. i even tried coping my opl elf that works to that location and renaming it to the cb_launch.elf when running the cb_lanch.elf from the file browser opl dose run. any ideas?
i will take a look at cheat device. from a quick read it looks like you need to set it up on a memory card or external drive. i have tried to keep all the hacking on the internal drive on my ps2 fat. i seem to also have issue with trying to download and use save files. when using the save on hard drive it makes a file a .bin but the saves i download to replace them are never in .bin format. my goal is to unlock the characters in fighting games for 2 player mode on games like marvel vs capcom tekken and a new one i just started playing called rumble rose. i would have never made it this far with out you videos thanks for helping me unlock my ps2! guncon rocks! my race wheel rocks! but what good would it be if i could not play the games. im now working on my 3rd ps2 hard drive and got an eyetoy camera on its way! thankyou for all your help!
Hello, newbie to ps2 modding. I installed modchip on my ps2 cause broken laser so i cannot use to make my freemcboot to the MC. For me on this time, the modchip was cheaper than the FreeMCboot memory card and the NA Sata. But i really confuse what file i have to put in my external hardrive. So many various tutorial on the internet make me confuse. I want to use OPL and codebreaker. Which file i have to put on the HDD? Do i need PS2 file system? (Some tutorial use this with included OPL + codebreaker + ulaunchelf) I copied the game with usbutil and set the config with OPL.
If you have a fat ps2 with network adapter and hard drive, then use raw hdd copy to flash over a hard drive image of FHDB and then you can run home-brew from there.
Bro when i click the elf it comes soo slowly lick when u play with disc if the disc is not working well the games tends to come slowly like its stuck .... Any help ?
Thanks for video, can't wait to try this out, just one question though, I use FreeHDboot from the Hard drive In the PS2, and I am concerned putting random elfs In there boot folder could break it, as similar happened to me before. So just asking if FreeHDboot will be fine with this. I am use 160GB Segate hard drive on normal IDE, SCPH 30000, Danish PS2, FreeHDBoot 1.93, 24bit. Thanks! :)
The cb_launch.elf file is OPL right? You just renamed it as cb_launch.elf. okay I got that. But my mmc had already an OPL. Will I need to delete the my pre installed OPL on my mmc for replacement for OPL renamed as cb_launch.elf on your boot file?
Rename it, better yet see the new 2020 video as I explain some new information and how to bypass the black screen with usb games. Another solution is use Cheat Device, great alternative.
Do you know how to have the cheats saved always? Because I add cheats from other games and then after multiple uses, I get the text garbled and I have to reset my codebreaker codes for it to work again.
does not work for me black screen i take ou the usb stick than it shows very slow but nothing els happens ,maybe do i vid on cheatdevice how to install
When I open the CB.ELF, I only see a black screen. I will copy the file to my memory card to see if that works. By the way, what SCPH model is your ps2 slim?
Whenever I launch the Codebreaker10 Elf it gives me a black screen. It doesn't matter if I launch it from uLaunchElf or the Browser, and it doesn't matter which storage device I launch it from (USB or Memory Card). My FMCB Memory Card came with a Codebreake9.2, which does the same thing. Black screen. I was hoping this one would work.
I did some research, and apparently it has to do with that I have a Slim PS2, and that the Codebreaker app takes a lot of memory. I found a tutorial online telling that I have to remove my USB once the black screen shows up, then plug it back in after selecting cheats then launch the game. I'll try your method next.
Can someone please help! I did everything he said in the video but when I click on start game in codebreaker, it doesn't open the CB_launch.ELF it just takes me back to the uLaunchELF menu screen. I am going this over network and using the codebreaker through USB
Random Gamer Yes I fixed the problem a couple days later. I put my codebreaker into the apps section in OPL and it worked from there. But than I switched to CheatDevice since when I'm done with selecting my cheats, I can change to boot to opl instead of going back into uLaunchELF
In my consol cant runing Error load config if use CODEBREAKER VER 9.3 if use CB.elf ver 10 cant star game to opl Stuck insert disc Can u help my How to fix My FCMB 1.96 + OPL 9.4 Thx b4
A USB hd is better than flash drive for sure, but it is still the same usb 1.1 bottleneck. Best to go smb or internal hard drive if a fat ps2. Or if your ps2 is freedvdboot compatible, burn self bootable discs as an alternative.
Sorry I do Not Speak fluent english. my fewer problems about this codbreker. I've succeeded in runing codbreker. But when I choose a start game. which is happening is a message Game can't start. please I need your Help. thank you
My CB_launch.elf (which is my hd loader) is on my mem card, and when I choose some cheats, and press start game, it just put me back to ulaunchelf...any ideas?
I need help. My first try, I saved new codes and after restarting my ps2, codebreaker kept bugging. Second I tried reinstalling it using the method in this video but it gets stuck at "Setting Up Cheats Please Wait..." for an hour or two. I don't know if its not working or if I should wait longer. Any ideas on how to fix my codebreaker prob? Tia dude
I gotten everything down, the problem is how do I use the cheat codes itself? For example, I'm playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 and it says to "activate cheat code press R2 and right D-Pad" for Demo mode, but nothing working. I even tried R3/up for Invincibility and I test it out and still getting killed. How do you use these cheats? I even did another way which was [CHEATS] PS2 Official OPL ps2rd Cheat Codes and still nothing.
I made a newer codebreaker 10 video that addresses black screen fix and showcase codes in action again for Marvel vs capcom 2. Once you select your cheats, start game from codebreaker, it will take you to OPL or use ulaunchelf to go to OPL and load the game. Or use cheat device program and that should work too.
i have free McBoot on my internal HD in my fat PS2 and when i pick the codes i want i get a red screen when i pick start screen in CodeBreaker 10 and it wont load into OPL. Can you give me any help
i know this is a long shot but anyway of making codebreaker work with a physical copy of a game? i have moved codebreaker onto my memory card and installed it on FMCB, when i try it takes me back to ulaunchelf, any suggestions?
Once i select my cheats and the game on codebreaker it takes me to opl but for some reason it doesnt detect my USB games... any reason for this or a fix?... if i dont use codebreaker opl detects them on USB without an issue
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia thank you for replying i was able to fix it on my own. I had to put my game on the root of USB and not on the DVD folder (not sure why lol)
It's just a compatibility issue with your flashdrive and codebreaker, there isn't anything you can really do except going to your OPL program another way. Instead of having your files set up like in the video just take the codebreaker elf file and launch it in the root of your usb and rename it anything like cbv10.elf or something then go ahead an select your cheats, codebreaker will then take you to the ulaunch elf menu and from there go to where you have your opl.elf and you should be home free. I prefer the video's method but for some people it just wont work because of stupid flashdrive compatibility.
Nice! But what if I want to play the games on the disk instead of OPL, what will I have to do then? Like I want to download Gamebreaker to cheat my games, which I have on CD. Could you please help me with that?
i have a problem in god of war game run smooth with opl USB thumb drive when its comes in video its stuck again n again in same place how to fix it plzzz help
This method is meant to work for games off of usb or internal hard drive on fat ps2 systems. I do not think (yet) there is a way to make it work with physical disc games.
the CB_launch.elf doesn't load from memory card at all. i put it here mc0:/BOOT/CB_launch.elf can you confirm that's that CB_launch can be loaded from memory card?
+Project Phoenix Media still doesn't launch from memory card. it's run fine from usb (mass:/BOOT/CB_launch.ELF) it' doesn't run from memory card (mc0:/BOOT/CB_launch.ELF), it goes to Ule instead. fixed : rename it to CB_launch.elf (mc0:/BOOT/CB_launch.elf) how to make it launch on both memory card slot, so it can run from slot1 or slot2 (mc?:/BOOT/CB_launch.elf)? is there any way?
Hello! I seem to have encountered an issue. Everything worked fine, and I was testing Codebreaker out on a few games. However, one game froze the system, so I reset it and reloaded Codebreaker. Now I can't choose any games, and my cursor is stuck on a jumbled mess of symbols on the game list. Any ideas for fixes?
Codebreaker codes aren't working on my ripped games... I ripped them with usbextreme. But they seem to work fine on games which I have placed on my dvd folder tho. Is there way to solve this problem? Do I need a specific codebreaker or OPL version? orr?
Wtf now my Codebreaker 10 stopped suddenly working, it just shows black screen when I try to run it. I've plugged out the USB too and it still shows black screen... what the hellllllll ey pls someone show me the truth of this sorcery, even the psx-scene site seems to be down atm
Project Phoenix Media thanks dude, let me know when you got answers. Here's some extra info if they help to figure out; My PS2 Slim model: 77004, my FreeMCBoot version: 1.8v
Nice tutorial. But I wanna ask, after I load my codebreaker, find a cheat and start it, when I press the Start Game icon the program goes to UlaunchELF. So I go to the boot folder in my MC and open OPL from there. But when the game starts, I noticed that the cheat didn't work. I wish you could help me with this because it's really frustrating when you don't know how to redirect the codebreaker to OPL.
I tried the usb technique that you taught but some games were not on the OPL that you sent. That's why I want to know how to path it in the original OPL so that I could play some games that are not on the OPL version that you gave. Thanks!
I didn't test every single game so didn't know a game selected in opl the cheats don't work. How about try cheat device? It's like codebreaker and maybe that works better. I'm interested in your results so if you do try it let me know.
can you take the codebreaker 10 image and put it on your HD along with all your other Roms and boot to the codebreaker 10 disk image like you would with any other game on your hard drive and run cheats that way?
Been looking for a way to use code breaker at all for a while, thanks so much!

after running codebreaker and hitting start game i get a black screen and nothing happens i have the .elf from your download in hdd0/boot. i even tried coping my opl elf that works to that location and renaming it to the cb_launch.elf when running the cb_lanch.elf from the file browser opl dose run. any ideas?
i will take a look at cheat device. from a quick read it looks like you need to set it up on a memory card or external drive. i have tried to keep all the hacking on the internal drive on my ps2 fat.
i seem to also have issue with trying to download and use save files. when using the save on hard drive it makes a file a .bin but the saves i download to replace them are never in .bin format.
my goal is to unlock the characters in fighting games for 2 player mode on games like marvel vs capcom tekken and a new one i just started playing called rumble rose.
i would have never made it this far with out you videos thanks for helping me unlock my ps2! guncon rocks! my race wheel rocks! but what good would it be if i could not play the games. im now working on my 3rd ps2 hard drive and got an eyetoy camera on its way! thankyou for all your help!
Hello, newbie to ps2 modding. I installed modchip on my ps2 cause broken laser so i cannot use to make my freemcboot to the MC. For me on this time, the modchip was cheaper than the FreeMCboot memory card and the NA Sata. But i really confuse what file i have to put in my external hardrive. So many various tutorial on the internet make me confuse. I want to use OPL and codebreaker. Which file i have to put on the HDD? Do i need PS2 file system? (Some tutorial use this with included OPL + codebreaker + ulaunchelf) I copied the game with usbutil and set the config with OPL.
If you have a fat ps2 with network adapter and hard drive, then use raw hdd copy to flash over a hard drive image of FHDB and then you can run home-brew from there.
what if my codebreaker is a cd burned disc? can it work games inserted on hard drive with opl load memory card?
Bro when i click the elf it comes soo slowly lick when u play with disc if the disc is not working well the games tends to come slowly like its stuck .... Any help ?
can i use latest opl instead ? because the latest software are supported to exFat
Thanks for video, can't wait to try this out, just one question though, I use FreeHDboot from the Hard drive In the PS2, and I am concerned putting random elfs In there boot folder could break it, as similar happened to me before.
So just asking if FreeHDboot will be fine with this.
I am use 160GB Segate hard drive on normal IDE, SCPH 30000, Danish PS2, FreeHDBoot 1.93, 24bit. Thanks! :)
It didn't work with my ps2 fat .I tried to boot it from my USB and when I plugged "Start game" it crashed
The cb_launch.elf file is OPL right? You just renamed it as cb_launch.elf. okay I got that. But my mmc had already an OPL. Will I need to delete the my pre installed OPL on my mmc for replacement for OPL renamed as cb_launch.elf on your boot file?
Rename it, better yet see the new 2020 video as I explain some new information and how to bypass the black screen with usb games. Another solution is use Cheat Device, great alternative.
Do you know how to have the cheats saved always? Because I add cheats from other games and then after multiple uses, I get the text garbled and I have to reset my codebreaker codes for it to work again.
how do u reset the code mine is garbled aswell
does not work for me black screen i take ou the usb stick than it shows very slow but nothing els happens ,maybe do i vid on cheatdevice how to install
When I open the CB.ELF, I only see a black screen. I will copy the file to my memory card to see if that works. By the way, what SCPH model is your ps2 slim?
Erm Hey, I tried this on the latest opl version (PS2RD somthin somethin) but the whenever I enter codebreaker it crashes
Ok so don't use codebreaker or try older version of opl. I am a big fan though of cheat device now.
Whenever I launch the Codebreaker10 Elf it gives me a black screen. It doesn't matter if I launch it from uLaunchElf or the Browser, and it doesn't matter which storage device I launch it from (USB or Memory Card). My FMCB Memory Card came with a Codebreake9.2, which does the same thing. Black screen. I was hoping this one would work.
You have to wait foreveer for it to load. same thing happened to me
I did some research, and apparently it has to do with that I have a Slim PS2, and that the Codebreaker app takes a lot of memory. I found a tutorial online telling that I have to remove my USB once the black screen shows up, then plug it back in after selecting cheats then launch the game. I'll try your method next.
How do you add cheats for a game that isn't included
Can someone please help! I did everything he said in the video but when I click on start game in codebreaker, it doesn't open the CB_launch.ELF it just takes me back to the uLaunchELF menu screen. I am going this over network and using the codebreaker through USB
Random Gamer Yes I fixed the problem a couple days later. I put my codebreaker into the apps section in OPL and it worked from there. But than I switched to CheatDevice since when I'm done with selecting my cheats, I can change to boot to opl instead of going back into uLaunchELF
Does this work with the slim ps2 as well?
I ask because I have a modded slim ps2 and want to use cheats on my games.
In my consol cant runing
Error load config if use CODEBREAKER VER 9.3
if use CB.elf ver 10 cant star game to opl
Stuck insert disc
Can u help my
How to fix
My FCMB 1.96 + OPL 9.4
Thx b4
Hi,
please help me! I want to play with my original game. After press start game it goes on opl instead of run the original disk! Why?!
Because this is how it was made? This was not meant for disc games sorry.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia Hi, so if I want to play with original game do I need to buy the legit codebreak cd?
Yes if you can even find it. Or rip the game to digital and use homebrew for codebreaker or cheat device.
What about playing off internal hdd? Can I just use my own opl version already installed?
Yes I'd think so
so the CB_launch.elf is actually a OPL.elf??
I wanna buy a USB HD. Does it matter what kind I should get? games load slow off my thumb drive.
A USB hd is better than flash drive for sure, but it is still the same usb 1.1 bottleneck. Best to go smb or internal hard drive if a fat ps2. Or if your ps2 is freedvdboot compatible, burn self bootable discs as an alternative.
Sorry I do Not Speak fluent english. my fewer problems about this codbreker. I've succeeded in runing codbreker. But when I choose a start game. which is happening is a message Game can't start.
please I need your Help.
thank you
Does the PS2 GameShark Has every Single PS2 Games?
My CB_launch.elf (which is my hd loader) is on my mem card, and when I choose some cheats, and press start game, it just put me back to ulaunchelf...any ideas?
Yes, always.
can you recommend me a ps2 slim hack to run a UsB hard drive . Also what is the largest usb hard drive the program detectS? im a newbie
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia I use a 32gb flash drive for ps2 hack. Is that good enough
On another note, everytime I run the code breaker Elf, it is running very slow
Try cheat device alternative and not usb but maybe smb or internal hdd
Uh, i did what you said but on opl it only showed one game which wasn’t the one that i picked. What is going on?
Try cheat device and check your OPL and games with opl manager. Never heard of selecting one game and it played another.
@@ProjectPhoenixMediahey, so when i click start game it just goes to a black screen. what’s going on?
I need help.
My first try, I saved new codes and after restarting my ps2, codebreaker kept bugging. Second I tried reinstalling it using the method in this video but it gets stuck at "Setting Up Cheats Please Wait..." for an hour or two. I don't know if its not working or if I should wait longer. Any ideas on how to fix my codebreaker prob? Tia dude
I did everything as U did but it's very slow do U know why it's being like that or how to solve it?
I gotten everything down, the problem is how do I use the cheat codes itself? For example, I'm playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 and it says to "activate cheat code press R2 and right D-Pad" for Demo mode, but nothing working. I even tried R3/up for Invincibility and I test it out and still getting killed. How do you use these cheats? I even did another way which was [CHEATS] PS2 Official OPL ps2rd Cheat Codes and still nothing.
I made a newer codebreaker 10 video that addresses black screen fix and showcase codes in action again for Marvel vs capcom 2. Once you select your cheats, start game from codebreaker, it will take you to OPL or use ulaunchelf to go to OPL and load the game. Or use cheat device program and that should work too.
i have free McBoot on my internal HD in my fat PS2 and when i pick the codes i want i get a red screen when i pick start screen in CodeBreaker 10 and it wont load into OPL. Can you give me any help
i got it fixed. turned out my CB_launch.elf was named wrong. I was working on it for so long i did not noticed it was CB_launcher.ELF
yeah it was. took me 2 and a half days to noticed that.
CB_launch.elf
So I need to rename opl? Do I delete the original cb launc elf after doing so?
Does this support PAL games?
EDIT: When I press start game my ps2 disc drives open. So the redirect doesn't work.
Try using cheat device and see what happens. I only use NTSC games so cannot comment
but all my stuff in APK folder? do i need to move them to boot file?
Do the cheats linger? What about if im playing from internal hard drive? Where should I paste the cheat elf file? Thanks in advance!
This part is outside of my knowledge but I'd think same folder as where the .elf is. Cheats turn off when ps2 is reboot.
i know this is a long shot but anyway of making codebreaker work with a physical copy of a game? i have moved codebreaker onto my memory card and installed it on FMCB, when i try it takes me back to ulaunchelf, any suggestions?
Yeah seemed a bit of a ball ache, so went with your first comment anyway cheers mate
Once i select my cheats and the game
on codebreaker it takes me to opl but for some reason it doesnt detect my USB games... any reason for this or a fix?... if i dont use codebreaker opl detects them on USB without an issue
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia thank you for replying i was able to fix it on my own. I had to put my game on the root of USB and not on the DVD folder (not sure why lol)
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia split i used usbtill and i had to defrag the game afterwards because i couldnt play it...
when i take out my usb hdd ! the program is working again ! when i put back the usb hdd the program freezes
It's just a compatibility issue with your flashdrive and codebreaker, there isn't anything you can really do except going to your OPL program another way. Instead of having your files set up like in the video just take the codebreaker elf file and launch it in the root of your usb and rename it anything like cbv10.elf or something then go ahead an select your cheats, codebreaker will then take you to the ulaunch elf menu and from there go to where you have your opl.elf and you should be home free. I prefer the video's method but for some people it just wont work because of stupid flashdrive compatibility.
Nice! But what if I want to play the games on the disk instead of OPL, what will I have to do then? Like I want to download Gamebreaker to cheat my games, which I have on CD. Could you please help me with that?
how do you get it to read a real disc instead of trying to launch opl
Do this cheats only work with NTSC games? for me it don't work with any PAL game
Is it possible to run the game from a disc after you select cheats?
i have a problem in god of war game run smooth with opl USB thumb drive when its comes in video its stuck again n again in same place how to fix it plzzz help
God of war 1 and 2 same problem
Okay, so if I don't add the CB_Launch.elf, will it just load a game from the disk drive? Or is this patched to only work with OPL?
This method is meant to work for games off of usb or internal hard drive on fat ps2 systems. I do not think (yet) there is a way to make it work with physical disc games.
the CB_launch.elf doesn't load from memory card at all.
i put it here mc0:/BOOT/CB_launch.elf
can you confirm that's that CB_launch can be loaded from memory card?
+Project Phoenix Media still doesn't launch from memory card.
it's run fine from usb (mass:/BOOT/CB_launch.ELF)
it' doesn't run from memory card (mc0:/BOOT/CB_launch.ELF), it goes to Ule instead.
fixed : rename it to CB_launch.elf (mc0:/BOOT/CB_launch.elf)
how to make it launch on both memory card slot, so it can run from slot1 or slot2 (mc?:/BOOT/CB_launch.elf)?
is there any way?
btw your opl in the link is 0.9.2.
What if you're loading from a backup disc? How would you load it?
I don't get it
How should i boot opl from codebreaker if my usb freez codebreaker itself ??
Try cheat device its better solution.
yeah it's working with cheat device
Codebreaker is a good for disc games
Thank you for reply
Question: can i use original game discs instead of ripped ones, by just putting the disc in? or is that not possible?
Project Phoenix Media and if i use uLaunchELF to boot up a .ELF of the original codebreaker, would that work?
Hello!
I seem to have encountered an issue. Everything worked fine, and I was testing Codebreaker out on a few games. However, one game froze the system, so I reset it and reloaded Codebreaker. Now I can't choose any games, and my cursor is stuck on a jumbled mess of symbols on the game list.
Any ideas for fixes?
When I try to run it it just gives me a black screen. What can I do to fix this?
Did you see the newer 2020 video about black screen fix? Give it a watch.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia Alright, I'll take a look. Sorry for not checking earlier.
Code work for me thanks! But instead of opl launch after codebreaker its hdloader that pops up any idea why?
Codebreaker codes aren't working on my ripped games... I ripped them with usbextreme. But they seem to work fine on games which I have placed on my dvd folder tho. Is there way to solve this problem? Do I need a specific codebreaker or OPL version? orr?
whatever, I'll install the same versions and stuff that are said in the video and try if that works
Wtf now my Codebreaker 10 stopped suddenly working, it just shows black screen when I try to run it. I've plugged out the USB too and it still shows black screen... what the hellllllll ey pls someone show me the truth of this sorcery, even the psx-scene site seems to be down atm
Project Phoenix Media thanks dude, let me know when you got answers. Here's some extra info if they help to figure out; My PS2 Slim model: 77004, my FreeMCBoot version: 1.8v
Nice tutorial. But I wanna ask, after I load my codebreaker, find a cheat and start it, when I press the Start Game icon the program goes to UlaunchELF. So I go to the boot folder in my MC and open OPL from there. But when the game starts, I noticed that the cheat didn't work. I wish you could help me with this because it's really frustrating when you don't know how to redirect the codebreaker to OPL.
I tried the usb technique that you taught but some games were not on the OPL that you sent. That's why I want to know how to path it in the original OPL so that I could play some games that are not on the OPL version that you gave. Thanks!
I didn't test every single game so didn't know a game selected in opl the cheats don't work. How about try cheat device? It's like codebreaker and maybe that works better. I'm interested in your results so if you do try it let me know.
When I launch the *CB_launch.ELF* it didn’t work
tried the fix already free mc boot stuck in logo loop im gonna have to reinstall fmcb
can you take the codebreaker 10 image and put it on your HD along with all your other Roms and boot to the codebreaker 10 disk image like you would with any other game on your hard drive and run cheats that way?
I haven't done that, but I would think so yes.
i dont get the colors when I run the game and there are no cheats
hey please help when i go to uluanchelf it just brings me to my normal open ps2 loader screen and chosing game
+Project Phoenix Media uLaunchELF same as u
look when i try to launch ulaunchelf it brings me to the opl where i launchgames its like i dont even have ulaunchelf
+Project Phoenix Media ok thanks
