4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good products but has a few drawbacks, March 14, 2007
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Pelican Codebreaker Version 9.3 for Playstation 2 (Video Game)
This is the best cheat device I've ever used for PS2. I've been using it since V3 several years ago. It works very well and has excellent code support. It does have a few issues you should be aware of though.
1) If you have a newer slim PS2 model number 75001 or higher, the USB functions will NOT work for you. If you have any USB device plugged in the CB will freeze up. This is because Sony changed the USB chipset in these newer model PS2s and Pelican has so far failed to update their USB drivers to solve the problem. They also make no mention of this on their packaging, which is the main reason, I'm knocking a star off on the review.
2) There is a limitation on the save file size because it has to load the whole list into the PS2s RAM. If you load too large of a code list the CB will freeze up. Trying to flash Suikoden V via Day1 sees this issue a lot since it has almost 17000 codes in the file. To solve this, delete any and all games from the CB list that you don't have or don't intend to get. The code list is copied to your memory card the first time you use the CB and deleting them from there keeps it from loading all those codes each time, thus freeing up more system RAM.
Outside of these issues, and Pelican's nearly non-existent support department, the CB is a very solid product.

But does it work with Next-Gen systems..., September 6, 2007

I.E. - Is it backwards compadable, when it comes to the PS3?
Well, i'm here to lay claim, and confirm it folks.
The answer to this, is yes!
It works on the Playstation 3!
That's right. Unlike the GameShark, the CodeBreaker cheat device is able to be used in the new Sony PS3 system. What does that mean? Simple. The CB device allows you to still use cheats on your Playstation 2 games, while currently owning and using a Playstation 3 to play and use them.
Yes. You heard right. It really works.
Do everything it tells you to do, and it'll work.
On the PS3.
Get this!
-It's way better than GS.
-First day codes are guarinteed.
-You'll almost never have to upgrade to a higher version, to enjoy newer games. Ever.
-It's got a better game roster.
-It works with the PS3!
It working on the PS3 is good enough to buy me in, considering my old GS refuses to do so.
But oh well...i've moved on to bigger and better things.
Get this.
If you have a 60GB PS3, it will work!
(Not too sure about 20/80 GB versions though.)

A very useful disc, December 2, 2007
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Pelican Codebreaker Version 9.3 for Playstation 2 (Video Game)
I normally do not use cheat devices for my games/consoles (only got this to uncover a certain censored game recently), but I didn't realize what potential this particular product had. There is a massive library of pre-coded games in the database (you can manually add/download more to your memory card). The only problem I had with this product is that inputting codes without a keyboard is a very tedious affair. Quite possibly the best cheat device I have come across yet, highly recommended.
