I followed instructions to a tee, when I click on the codebreaker file in uLaunchelf, I only get a black screen. Im using one of those PS2 HDMI adapters, you think this has something to do with the black screen? EDIT: I fugured it out. I have a phat ps2, and instead of trying to launch the codebreaker .elf from mc0, I copied it to my internal hdd (hdd0) to the boot folder there and ran it from there. Works like a charm. You will have to hard restart the ps2 everytime you want to switch a game and use codebreaker again.

I'll keep it in mind when a remake tutorial is done in the future. Perhaps the details went too fast during the video. The new .elf files go into the BOOT folder, in my case under MC0:/BOOT. Launch the cheat, start, and it auto boots into OPL (the way I did it in this video) and if you have your PS2 games setup correctly with network settings, you are good to go. An alternative to Codebreaker is using Cheat Device (I have a basic video going over it) that is good alternative as well.
