The real CRC is the string after 0x, e.g. from the line above the real CRC is 0A70CB4C. 0x is added in 0.9.7, 0.9.6 simply shows real CRC in its console window e.g. CRC = 0A70CB4C | |||
CRC is not particularly important but for the sake of completeness it can be provided (PCSX2 will identify your game and apply [[Game cheats|patches or cheats]] using it). | |||
