Part 3: Setting Up the Built-in RPCS3 Patch Manager

Since there is no official "cheat manager.exe" bundled with RPCS3, the built-in Patch Manager is your primary tool. Here is how to use it like a pro.

4. Browse the cheat database for your game title.
5. Select cheats (Infinite money, unlock all costumes, etc.).
6. Click "Export to RPCS3."
7. Restart RPCS3 and go to Manage -> Game Patches; your cheats will now appear as toggles.

The "Boot" Rule

Cheats in RPCS3 are boot-time patches. You cannot toggle them on and off in real-time (with very few exceptions). If you enable a cheat, you must restart the game for it to work.
