Here is a breakdown of the best resources and a practical guide on using the PCSX2 Memory Editor.

| Region | Address Range | Purpose | |--------------|-------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | EE RAM | 0x20000000 + | Main memory (32 MB) – game code, character stats, health, ammo, etc. | | Scratchpad | 0x70000000 + | Fast on-chip memory (rarely used) | | IOP RAM | 0x1FC00000 + | Sound, controller, CDVD (I/O processor) | | VU mem | 0x11000000 + | Vector unit code/data (graphics/matrix math) |

(painful but educational)

PCSX2 does not have a "Cheat Engine" built-in (though you can use external tools). The built-in memory editor is best for viewing known addresses.

| Game | What People Did via Memory Editor | |---------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | Swapped Agro’s model with a colossus (memory model ID hack). | | Kingdom Hearts II | Unlocked debug menus, changed Sora into any form anywhere. | | FFXII | Changed zodiac job boards, edited treasure RNG in real time. | | Burnout 3 | Adjusted traffic AI density, forced lap counts mid-race. | | Rule of Rose (rare) | Fixed broken enemy spawns via direct memory flags. |
