==== NOTES ====
PS2RD Cheat Engine only supports pre-loaded codes inside a CHT file at this time. Also, PS2RD builds of OPL raises game incompatibility significantly to the point where SP193 and BatRastard won't accept game compatibility reports from PS2RD enabled builds of OPL. Also, be aware that using commerical cheat engines (i.e. Codebreaker) with a PS2RD enabled build of OPL will result in a BSOD every time at game launch. You must use a non-PS2RD build for commercial cheat engines.
