Frustration with Decoration Items and need help with cheats

Post by Kurogane »

Hi all, first of all, I'm glad to be onboard. This forum was a huge source for me during my recent Suikoden IV playthrough, and I'd keep just quietly browsing if I wouldn't encounter yet another technical issue. An issue, that seems so frustrating to deal with, that I had no choice but to register and ask you guys for help.

So I'm currently having all 108 SoDs recruited and before rushing into final fight, I've decided to try to complete the game as much as possible and for that reason I was meant to collect all the Ornament room items for Pecola and create a "perfect save" of sorts, just in case I'd want to do an NG+. Oh, yeah, I spent hours of fishing for these items which seem going to waste now.

The object in question is Simple Sofa. I know the exact way to acquire it, but perhaps I made a mistake of squeezing everything out of Basil in the beginning of the game. I have got it before the exile. Fast-forward 80% of the game, I somehow don't have it in my inventory and I don't have it on Pecola's object choosing screen. And playing Basil to 15 wins in a row gives me the message, that I got it as a reward, but it's never in the inventory. I tried to soft reset and try 15 wins, and I also tried to just reset the console (I'm using emulator, by the way), so technically restarted the game.

I see no other way, really, to get this item, so I resorted to try and cheat, but I failed once more. The version of the game I'm using is NTSC-U, SLUS-20979. I've first tried to get the cheat codes from gamehacking.org, I understood that I need to enter the specific item code into the slot code for it to work, and tried to convert with OmniConverter. I also tried the codes from codetwink.com website, which appear to be the same thing. Converting these codes into RAW and then into PNACH doesn't seem to work. I enter game, load my save file, enable cheat codes and the emulator gets stuck. On Android emulator, I just get it hanging, and PCSX2 just crashes.

I've also tried this code from another post I found here for Golden Hammer, but changed the last 4 digits to Simple Sofa ID, it does the same thing.

Code: Select all

gametitle=Suikoden IV (NTSC-U)

It is very sad, that I might bottle my playthrough just due to some technical bug, I've already spent countless hours into treasure hunting, fishing, even got a couple of Snowe's clothes. Please, if anybody can help with making cheats work or forcefully taking sofa away from Basil, that will be really appreciated
