TempAR is a complete rewrite of the popular PSP cheat device NitePR/MKULTRA, with additional features and improvements created by raing3.

Features

  • Supports CWCheat and PSPAR code types, support for NitePR codes was removed though codes can be made compatible using the included converter.
  • Re-written search functionality which much faster known and unknown memory search speed and less wear on the Memory Stick (in some cases search speed is more than 100x faster).
  • Cheats load almost instantly, no need to wait for your cheats to load on boot. It only takes ~2 seconds to parse a 2MB file.
  • Works with homebrew (uses same Game ID as CWCheat) and PSX games.
  • Supports grouping of codes into 2 types of collapsible folders, single-select folders and multi-select folders. Comments can also be grouped into folders.
  • UMD dumper to create ISO images from UMDs and PSStore EBOOTs.
  • Text viewer to view guides during gameplay, place text files in ms0:/seplugins/TempAR/text/{gameid}.txt.
  • No need to press the HOME button each time you start a game unlike other NitePR mods.

Installation
