Code Breaker Ps2 V70 Link Portable

In the golden age of the PlayStation 2 (PS2), cheat devices were a commodity. From GameShark to Action Replay, few names commanded as much respect as Code Breaker. However, among the dozens of versions and firmware updates released in the early 2000s, one specific variant has reached near-mythical status in the emulation and modding communities: the Code Breaker PS2 v70 Link Portable.

Many Action Replay codes require a "Master Code" to be entered manually. V70 has an automatic Master Code resolver in its kernel, allowing you to paste raw codes from the internet without editing.
