The Do-It-yourself yadda yadda 1337 haxor Guide to bypassing the Anti-Cheat system
Q) How do I avoid the Anti-Cheat System, and still be able to cheat and save my game?
A) There are
2 flags that this game checks for when it tries to save a game. They happen in this order.
Before you select "Save"
1) The SYSTEM Data file (like the Unlock All Class Zero Outfits Cheat).
Some cheats DON'T trigger the Anti-Cheat warning. When you are in the Glyph savepoint and select "Save", the game instantly saves your
System Data (Sys.Data). Some cheats affect the Sys.Data, and thus, you need to activate the cheat before you enter the "Save" menu. Once you enter it, the Cheat data saves with your NEW Sys.Data.
After you select "Save"
2) The SAVEGAME Data file (like the Demo and Square Referral Unlock cheats)
Some cheats DO trigger the Anti-Cheat warning, and they don't affect your Sys.Data. For these cheats, if you activate them before your Sys.Data has been saved, it will activate the Anti-Cheat. For these cheats, you want to ONLY activate them once you've pressed "Save", and let the Sys.Data save itself.
Inside the memory stick Save Menu, you can now activate any cheat you want without triggering the Anti-Cheat. This is where you can save your game's
Save Data (Save.Data)
It's Different from System data!. Save your game and you save your Save.Data. When it says "Save Accepted", don't press anything and turn off all your cheats before you leave the Save Menu. You can then resume the game and verify that all cheats worked, and then try to save the game again.
Using this method, the Anti-Cheat will not trigger, and you can save your game again, without any issues. Even if an issue pops up, you can restart your system with all cheats off, and reload your new cheated save file, and save without any problem.
Again, it depends on the cheat. Try both out, depending on which cheat you're utilizing.
