Setup instructions

  1. Use AC+ US SLUS-21847 v1.00 / F233A433. Check the game Properties / Summary in PCSX2; other releases are unsupported.
  2. Shut down the game and back up your existing cheat file separately. Save this complete module as SLUS-21847_F233A433.pnach, without .txt, in the cheats folder shown in PCSX2 Settings / Folders. The download button suggests this canonical filename; rename it if your browser keeps the longer filename.
  3. In game Properties / Cheats, enable cheats and select CPU Survival v1 (US). Disable other Survival, Arcade CPU, camera/creator and gameplay modules. Reload cheats or restart PCSX2 if the section is missing; check the folder, filename and CRC.
  4. Boot normally with controller port 1. Hold R1 while confirming SURVIVAL on the main menu, then release the buttons. Select CPU SURVIVAL in the setup page.
  5. For a fully automatic first run, set PLAYER CPU to FIXED, PLAYER LEVEL to 32, and REWARDS to RANDOM. Choose START LEVEL 1 RUN and select your character normally. This resets encounter, stat upgrades and slots; leave combat inputs alone and watch.
  6. FIXED accepts 0 through 32. MATCH ENEMY follows the enemy AI level, including live changes. The enemy retains native Survival difficulty and stats.
  7. RANDOM chooses A-D only. NONE always chooses E. ALWAYS A/B/C/D selects that displayed offer position. CHOOSE waits for your physical reward selection, honoring your in-game bindings, then resumes CPU play. Best is deferred.
  8. Native wins, boss cut-ins, rewards, healing, upgrade caps and ability FIFO continue automatically. No damage or EXP test aid is included. START CONFIGURED RUN instead uses the first page's advanced encounter/stat/loadout settings.
  9. Start pauses: Resume continues, Retry restores the configured start, Configure returns to setup, and Exit leaves. A natural loss stops rather than silently retrying. To unload, disable the cheat and shut down/reboot the game; start fresh instead of loading an old modded save state. The first setup page also retains START PRACTICE for human control, with explicit Continue after eligible victories; ordinary Survival without R1 stays native.
  10. Verified P1 Sol/Ky and bounded lifecycle/reward coverage. The exact released-file Sol / Fixed32 / Random run reached level51 with two bosses beaten and 420HP remaining at its scripted stop. Physical P2, every character and a full level-1000 clear remain unverified; no endurance limit is claimed.

Effect

Let your fighter play Survival at Fixed 0-32 or Match Enemy difficulty, with automatic progression and configurable rewards.

Test result

Exact released PNACH cold-booted with ordinary cheat activation and no fixture INI workaround. Native level-1 Sol / Fixed32 / Random reached level51, two bosses beaten and 420HP at the scripted stop, with zero Retry, damage/EXP aids, combat inputs or state edits. All47 watch states, protected data and both source/copied cards passed. Qualified preview evidence covers Sol/Ky progression, Fixed0/13/32, Match synchronization, all seven policies and lifecycle controls; source/patch streams match the independent rebuild. P1 PCSX2 scope; P2 and final clear remain unverified.

  • Install this standalone module alone. No custom emulator, scripts or modified disc are required to play. Best rewards are deferred.
  • Normal enemy stats and difficulty are preserved. Match Enemy matches AI level, not combat stats.
  • Do not combine with external cave, right-stick, camera or gameplay mods. Shut down/reboot the emulated game to unload installed code.
