For those of you who prefer to cheat your way to the completion of a game, and you are running a custom firmware, you’ll be pleased to hear that weltall has released an update to CWCheat, the PSP cheat device.

CWCheat operates in a similar way to Gameshark, allowing the user to use cheat codes for their UMD games or for PSOne games that have been converted to run on the PSP.

I’ve yet to install this software myself, mainly as I always prefer to get my moneys worth out of my games by attempting to play them through unaided. I’ll occasionally hit the internet for a walk through if I’ve got stuck on a level in something like Syphon Filter, but I rarely play games that would require a helping hand from CWCheat.
