Im new to the whole jailbreak Ps4 family. Did jailbreak my Ps4 pro and I love the trainers. I did notice some trainers for games, same game, different gameIDs, have different trainer options. Let's say for example. Godofwar. In the cheat options there are different gameid with different updates. Can I attach a different gameid but same patchupdate and will it work? I noticed some have 1 hit kill and instant cool down, others don't. If I can't use other trainers for the game from different gameids, is there a way to still use them even if they are different region codes?

"it depends".

Different regions might have code tweaks that see the data land at different locations between regions, and same for updates if the update targets the binary the game is running as you then might see a change between versions.

If you understand what the thing changed in the original region/update level you might be able to adapt it for a new update, assuming the update did not change the thing it targetted substantially, or another region (Between English languages then region conversion these days is usually a matter of changing color to colour, lbs to kg, bonnet to hood and such like, other languages can have a bit more to them still as the various Frenches, Portugueses and Spanishes of the world have drifted somewhat further apart and more classic games can have rather radical changes. Japanese to other regions has its own problems as well.). All that however benefits considerably from knowing how cheat finding normally works and approaches taken to achieve goals; ye boring and basic infinite potions is but the start of things -- https://web.archive.org/web/20080309104350/http://etk.scener.org/?op=tutorial , infinite jump for instance tending to be double jump flags removed, many effects being replications of flags given for portions of the game or pickups within it, one hit KO tending to be either a flag or enemy health reduced to 1 or atk power somewhere in the equations boosted to basically full. All of that also is but the kiddy pool compared to assembly level/game genie style approaches wherein you change how the game functions, though usually after finding the basic stuff to allow you to home in on the code doing the deed or to make something to fiddle with it constantly.
For updates you might find an update added something earlier in the memory so actually everything is just say 100 bytes further on than it was before, same can even happen between regions, but it is far from a sure thing.

To that end I can't rule out you simply being able to tweak the relevant ID or copy and paste across working in some notable amount of instances across a system. I could however consider it so rare a possibility I doubt I would even try it despite it taking but a few seconds. Might however bring up the region/update level with the cheats and analyse those to see if I can spot similar memory patterns in the other region, or have something easier to key in on (if luck raises once every 10 levels I might make a cheat to raise exp quickly, or I might find the def stat that is a few bytes back in this hypothetical* that is easier to manipulate (equips, potions, levels... it matters not) and move sideways**.


*sometimes every atk stat sits with every atk stat, other times it goes character by character. I usually get people to imagine it all in a spreadsheet. You can convert it by taking rows or you can convert it by taking columns.

**this is also how you tend to find the cheats to get end game swords and such like. If you can find the number corresponding to the starting village dagger then identifier 2 or maybe location next to it (again think spreadsheet) will probably be the first upgrade... no need to play 40 hours of game plus epic sidequest to find the end game sword. Similar thing for playing as bosses/hidden characters in fighting games.

OK that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for explaining.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card

    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
