I noticed some users were coming in the post about How to put GameShark codes on ePSXe for Android in search for the PC version, not for the Android version. So I decided to write this post in order to avoid confusion between them. Also, this method works for older versions of the emulator.
NOTE: This post is intended to show how to MANUALLY put the epsxe cheat codes. There is another way to do that, but it’s nice to learn how things work, isn’t it? So let’s see!
Well, I will assume you have the emulator installed and configured. Otherwise, you can download ePSXe from the Official Website.
- Download psx emulation cheater 4.6 for free. System Utilities downloads - PEC Psx Emulator Cheater by Jens Duttke and many more programs are available for instant and free download.
- If you're like me, there are some games I could just never win as a kid. This guide will finally allow you to win! (albeit with a much lesser sense of satisfaction) Download Cheats. As a preface cheats only work through libretro/retroarch so take note of the emulators you are using. You first need to open the RGUI.
Now, open the emulator, click on Run, then on the option Enable Logs and restart the program. It will show you another window, now run the game and copy somewhere the information that will be shown at the highlighted area, see the picture below:
In this case, the code is SCUS-941.63, which is for the game Final Fantasy VII (US version).
Now navigate to the main directory of the emulator and open the cheat folder, right click on it and create a text document with the same name of the game region code we saw above. For example, in this case the text file will be called SCUS_941.63, like the picture below:
Anyway, I'm gonna write on how to patch PSX games to allow PAL games can be run well on NTSC PSX consoles and vice versa. This guide also applies to running NTSC games on PAL PS3 console as well. Download the PSX Region Patch Kit here and please note that not all NTSC PSX games that can be converted into PAL games and vice versa.
NOTE: Be careful, you have to change the hyphen ( – ) to an underline ( _ ).
Now open this file and let’s put the codes. You can find many on the Internet. Now that you have them, write the codes in the format below:
#Code Description
xxxxxxxx yyyy
NOTE: There’s a space between the 8th and 4th digit. It should be like the picture below:
Psx Emulation Cheater 2.5
Ok, almost done. Now, open the emulator, run the game. Then, press ESC to return to ePSXe menu, click on Option and choose Cheat Codes. Here you should see the codes descriptions that were put in step 2. If not, go to the step 2 and try again. Now select the codes you want to enable (left side) and click on the Enable-> button, or you can just click on Enable All. It’s the same if you want to Disable, just select the code (right side) and click on <-Disable, or just hit Disable All. Check the picture:

In this example, only the Max HP code is enabled. After that, just hit OK, then click on Run, and Continue to return to the game. Now you know how to enter gameshark code in ePSXe! Have fun!
WARNING! Try to enable a few codes at once, since GameShark codes can break your save game.
