Avis sur le produitGame Genie Video Game Enhancer (Sega Genesis, 1992)

Great Game Enhancer

The original Game Genies were pass-through devices that attached between a cartridge and the console. Upon starting the console, the player is prompted enter a series of characters referred to as a "code" or several such series that reference addresses in the ROM of the cartridge. Each code contains an integer value that is read by the system in place of the data actually present on the cartridge.

Because the Game Genie patches the program code of a game, the codes are sometimes referred to as patch codes.[citation needed] These codes can have a variety of effects. Most published codes give the player some form of invulnerability, infinite ammunition, level skipping, or other modifications that allow the player to be more powerful than intended by the developers. In rare cases, codes can make the game more difficult or even unlock hidden game features that developers had scrapped and rendered unreachable in normal play.

The Game Genie sold with a booklet of codes for use with various games available for the system. However, new codes continued to be developed and new games were released after these booklets were published. To address this, Galoob created a paid subscription service where subscribers would receive quarterly code updates. In addition, Galoob also ran ads in certain gaming publications, such as GamePro, that featured codes for newer games. Today, these codes and many others developed by players and hobbyists can be found on the Internet.

To create new codes, it is possible to enter random codes into a Game Genie. This evolutionary approach is equivalent to using random POKE operations. Usually, entering random codes will result in no noticeable change in the game or freezing the game and possibly corrupting save data, but a useful difference may appear in the game if this process is repeated many times. One must write down the random codes for each attempt because there is no method to view the codes after starting the game. Once a useful code is discovered, making slight modifications to this code has a much higher probability of producing additional useful codes. With ROM files, emulators, and decompilers for these games and systems, it has become possible to reverse engineer games to find specific ROM data to modify. This information can be directly converted into Game Genie codes.Lire l'avis complet...

retro awesomeness!!

I love the game genie. I've really gotten into retro gaming as of lately and some of these games are brutally hard. Here comes the game genie to the rescue. You can get all sorts of cheats like invincibility extra lives extra continues and some pretty weird stuff to go along. I think its a great accessory for the casual and hard core gamer alike. As of this writing there not to expensive so I highly recommend you get your hands on one.Lire l'avis complet...
