Action Replay Max for PS3?

Will codejunkies ever make an Action Replay Max for PS3? Did you hear any release date?

Do you know any other cheat system that gives you special cheats like god mode for games like GTA IV or COD ?

Thanks very much for the attention!

Like u i would also like an AR disc for the ps3 but the only problem is that sony can easily disable its use with a simple patch so i dont know if Datel will bother.

Its a shame if u ask me.

I dunno, i'm just asking if they'll ever make an Action Replay for PS3 and, if not, is there another way to get special cheats that you can't gent with a simp,e combination of keys, like god mode or infinte health!tyhgqwert

I don't think that there are other ways to get cheats like god mode and infinte health!

I always believed the codes and cheats were willfully given by the game creators after some time to satisfy the players, so if all the game developers are OK with Datel and Action Replay there's no reason it won't be made.TheTenth10

There is no current preview or project about A/R for PS3

They never were. Those companies were all 3rd party and not officially licensed. They hacked the consoles. From what I've read the last time, the Codebreaker guys deemed PS3 "unhackable".

Though I do like cheat disks to mess around with the games, I'm glad they can't make them anymore. Especially when consoles these days are so intergrated with the net, they can't have people flying around with cheats in games having Sony trying to track them all down to ban them. Not to mention the constant altering of the firmware. It just can't work anymore.

Action Replay and similar software use memory hacking to create it's functionality. Essentially finding and dumping all the memory values, searching them, finding the right location in the memory, and modifying the value(s) at that location. Action Replay codes basically pointed to a memory address, and a value that they wanted to place there, sometimes adding joker commands (binding the code to a button press). Theoretically if they could get software to run on the PS3 and access it's memory it should be possible, however Sony can patch the PS3 to block the program, and most games are capable of receiving updates too, which they usually force you to do as the game boots up. So keeping the AR updated with new firmware works in theory to combat the PS3 system, but not each individual game, as game devs could easily force an update that changes the memory locations that it stores its data in whilst in play. It would be a lot of work for each game dev to do, so they would likely just change a memory offset value, which increments all memory locations by a set number. Which would mean that AR codes for PS3 games would become invalid as soon as the game devs released a patch update etc. Unless the AR had a built in offset list which could be updated automatically or manually etc. It would essentially be a constant war between Datel, Sony and game devs, which wouldnt be very smart for Datel financially, as theyd be constantly have to be hacking the same games to find new offsets to get old codes to work, none stop, which although I am sure would be appreciated, it would be extremely cost efficient. Imagine have to be finding the same codes for the same game constantly. How annoying. So whilst it is technically possible, business-wise one would think it be very un-wise of Datel to make such a product. Ashame though, AR adds so many more hours of gameplay to games. Heck If I come across PS1 game codes that I have not seen before (say for Final Fantasy IX) I sometimes end up starting a whole new game on it, even if I have not touched it for years, just to have a mess around.soopermuse

They're not going to allow people to cheat it would complete defeat the purpose of having trophies.

The games this gen are already so easy these days why would anyone want to cheat anyways?

The next gen systems are do or die for Datel and the other cheat companies. Theyve managed to make a lot of money off of the cheat discs for the PS2 and GameCube, but soon Sony and Nintendo will stop making games for those systems. After a little while, a major part of their income will be cut off, and theyre either going to have to figure out a way to circumvent the security measures of the companies, or try making a living off of memory devices.

What I cant understand is why they cant just make a downloadable application connected to a cheat database. That way, it would be easilly updatable, have all the codes you need, and it would get rid of the auto load problem. Kind of like the action replay for the DS, where you start the game through the application. And Sony wouldnt have any say in what you download onto your system. Of course, theyre going to have to keep away from online games.

I agree. Enevtually, people will stop buying them for the ps2 so Datel will most likely make one for the ps3.

And can't Sony just update the psp action replay too? (for those of you who don't know psp has one too)

There really is no issue here, it isn't hard to create server monitoring programs that detect cheat programs being used by online gamers. These have been in use for several years in the PC online game market.

The issue is one of Sony, Microsoft, etc having already made up their minds on the issue and being unwilling to listen to argument on the subject. This is hardly anything new, the same happened, and is still happening with the "Regional encoding" issue. It is nonsense but the mind-set has been fixed and for reasons that the major players in the industry are strangely unwilling to disclose, it cannot be changed except perhapse bt the highly unlikely event of intervention by some government or international regulatory body.

Wow, what a hugely informed and helpful comment.

Please, pardon my sarcasm.

how has nobody considered it could be loaded on a flash drive and accessed from the xmb?

anyways, because of trophies i don't see it happening much anymore. i liked cheats sometimes for games because i don't always have 4 hours to spend solving a puzzle or trying to beat 1 really hard part over and over and over and over and over. i have other things to do, i love to play games but there are parts in some games that are ridiculous.

It may seem a silly question, but who actually looks at someone elses trophies with any degree of interest anyway?

The point of gaming isn't to earn qudos and the point of cheating is not to get trophies.

The idea is to enjoy yourself, any restrictions placed of this that are not there to prevent actual harm to others, and not just there egos is not only silly, it negates the point of the games themselves.

Oh dear, I think we have one of those unncesarily angry posters to deal with...

Oh well, stick to simple explanations and basic logic then.

I have a policy with cheats, I will not use them simply to beat the game.

Every game I buy, I complete fairly first , just for the challenge. After that I will use cheats to mess around and have further fun with the game that I would otherwise be unable to have.

Excellent! I do like finding points of mutual understanding.

I agree that cheating should be kept out of competitave online gaming but as I said earlier, that isn't difficult to achieve without disabling the cheat program it's self. The problem is with the popular idea that cheating is only used to..... well, cheat. :)

I realise the ambiguity of the term, perhaps some new terminoligy is called for, Game Enhancement system maybe?

is there another way to get special cheats that you can't gent with a simp,e combination of keys, like god mode or infinte health??tyhgqwert

Games are getting easy way easy what is the point of a having a cheat in a game you can beat in less than 6 hours.Star650

Does Sony and Microsoft realized that by disabling cheat codes, they're actually losing their potential customer? A hardcore cheater such as myself, relies heavily on cheating devices to get full enjoyment over games. I don't buy the console and the games if I know it's uncheatable. Therefore, I'm not positioning myself as a customer of Sony, Microsoft and the games developer. Therefore, they actually lost a potential customer such as myself. And I'm sure, this is happening everywhere and I'm pretty sure, that they don't want to lose a potential customer. Especially when Sony and Microsoft is at war over market domination. Hypothetically, if Sony and Microsoft encourage and license cheating devices (Since it is licensed, Sony and Microsoft could control and ensure that the cheating devices doesn't spoil and ruin the consoles) they will actually be getting more money than when they block the cheating devices. Coz, people like me will gladly pay more to buy their consoles and games with the cheating devices. Why? Because people cannot purchase one of them.. In order for cheats to work, you need the cheating device and the game itself. So, when you buy the cheating device money will flow to Datel, then you buy the console and the money will flow to Sony and/or Microsoft and when you buy the game, money will flow to the game developers. It is mutually beneficial to Datel and other cheating companies as well as to Sony, Microsoft, and the game developers. What they need is only to block cheats used online. But they should license the use of cheating devices for offline games. What do you guys think? Am I right? Or am I just an echo of a cheatless game console desperate in need of cheating?rameyuk

lol the guys that don't like cheats i think they have some serious problems if you don't like cheats then don't use them let that thing for us who like ats :P not having a cheatcatridge its not smart don't you guys get it sony datel the game compaies and others loosing money from that i like to cheat and i'm not ashame to say it its not that i use them to make a game who's better to that game and who's not like you people who don't use a cheatsystem i use cheats so that i could have fun with the game i can't spend time to finish it and try to do every **** the game needs just to take the weapons or the unlimited ammo or secret palyers and etc cause after i do that i will have play the game so many times to gather them all so that i will have sick of it and i will not want to play it anymore :) so i want the cheat machine so that i could take everything from the start and enjoy the game that's why people use cheats you people who like to spend too much time and not boring to finish a game 3 and 4 times be my guest play it with that way and to say my opinion this thing with the trophys i don't get it it's not like i'm doing with any of my friends competition who's gnna gather the most and in online game to play i still wouldn't do it i would play online for fun to pla with other guys from other countries i never liked the competition ****s if you want competition play a f@@@ing fighting game and see if you're the best i don't find the reason why there's has to be and to the action games or better say to all other games thats CRAP!!! thta's all and sorry for any wrongs typewriting :P

Never heard of that game, and why would you want cheats, play the game properly ;)

it's not that you need to paly properly or not its that you want the cheats to enjoy the game i can complete it properly end then what? i9 should play it 3 or 4 times and more so that i could unlock all the things?and then you would have been sick of it if you haven't in the half way :)the cheats is for having more fun with the game

as far as fun is concerned, I think cheats beat trophies by far, there's games that are so tough that cheats can make them likeable, but trophies is always the same : go there, kill xx things, do that in limited time, die less than xx times ... no fun in that
