How to cheat PSP games on retropie?

[George Spiggott]

I know a few PSP games will run on a Pi3. Littlebigplanet and Castlevania run fairly well, probably a few more if you overclock.

@George-Spiggott Yes the game works. But how do I cheat on psp games on retropie?

@Yefet Doesn't PPSSPP have a Cheats menu from where you can enable them ? Do that and then you can download cheats for the game you're running from the game menu.

@mitu Thank you. How do I enter the lr-ppsspp menu to enable cheats?

[mitu]

@Yefet lr-ppsspp should have something similar to https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Cheats/. I was referring to standalone PPSSPP.

[Yefet]

@mitu I installed ppsspp standalone. I copied cheats.db to roms/psp/psp/cheats and in ppsspp i clicked on import from cheats.db and it didn't import and the cheat menu is empty. How do I use the cheats?

[Yefet]

@mitu Help please?

[mitu]

I think you need to copy the cheats.db in /opt/retropie/configs/psp/PSP/Cheats and import it from there.

[Yefet]

@mitu I copied it to the folder you said still doesn't import. When I press on import from cheat.db and press a it exit and doesn't import. Please help?

That works for me - make sure you have the correct path and file name:

pi@retropie $ ls /opt/retropie/configs/psp/PSP/Cheats
cheat.db  ULUS10277.ini
