Game Genie Archive: Post your favorite game jenie codes for any console of system.

[Seaquest]

Just post the code,the game it works with,and the console. Also tell what the code does. Soon we will have an archive!ROFL

Just try it :)

Aww, come on man, just tell us what it does, or a precedent might be set for everyone to say that.:puppydogeyes:

Enemies, when touched, give you the last powerup you received. Grab a mushroom, every enemy you touch will be a mushroom powerup. Flower? Same deal. 1UP? Yup.

Fun little code.

[InsaneDavid]

What the hell is a "game jenie?"

[Gapporin]

What the hell is a "game jenie?"

The Game Jeanie lives on his back!
The Game Jeanie loves chimney stacks!
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Game Jeanie, let yourself go!

[Blitzwing256]

Stupidity aside:

contra :apzlgk completely randomizes what appears on any level, makes some bizzare gameplay.

Super mario bros.
stageo : every enemy functions like a hammer brother

The Game Genie codes that allow me to play imports on my SNES and Genesis.

[NayusDante]

Only one that I still remember offhand...

Final Fantasy
OOTPOV- Get 32767 EXP after each battle


There's some good ones that I've used but can't remember for the life of me. When I played through Mega Man X3, I was young and had to cheat in games, but I only had the PC version and it was difficult to memory-hack. Instead, I emulated the SNES version and used about a dozen GG codes. I used enough codes to significantly alter the gameplay, giving X super jumping and entirely replacing the X-Buster with Zero's saber. It played like X4. :P

[Eyedunno]

SNES Clay Fighter
6280-DD6F Enable Blob's bomb move (B, DB, D, DF, F, punch) - The move is lame, and damages Blob as well as the enemy, but if you can win with it, you can get some lulz.

SFC Benkei Gaiden: Suna no Shou (AR code, not GG)
7E108A50 Maxes out the level of the first party member. I like this code because there's a bug in the game so that if you choose a male main character, the game will crash when he hits lv. 77 (max level for him is 80). So this code makes power levelling okay (even if not strictly necessary).

[Urzu402]

SNES - Mega Man X3

6DAE-AF64
EFAE-AFA4
DDA3-AF04

2 of those codes let you call in Zero anytime, one is to let you call in zero even if you die with him during gameplay. if you ever want to play Mega Man x3 nearly completely as Zero on a standard SNES/Game Genie combo these are the codes you want.

[NayusDante]

I don't believe you CAN play X3 with GG on a real SNES. It uses the extra cart pins on the sides of the main PCB, which don't connect to anything but plastic slots on the GG.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Did Galoob ever release a SNES Game Genie with extra pin connectors?

[Urzu402]

Believe me, yes you can, Mega Man X2, and Mega Man X3 both work with a real Game Genie on a real SNES. I do it all the time.

[JLukas]

Did Galoob ever release a SNES Game Genie with extra pin connectors?

No. A Game Genie 2 was almost finished and ready for production but was too late in the SNES lifespan to be released. There's an article on it with pictures over at thegshi (a cheat code site)

[NayusDante]

Believe me, yes you can, Mega Man X2, and Mega Man X3 both work with a real Game Genie on a real SNES. I do it all the time.

I want to see your Game Genie.

[Urzu402]

I shot this video using the codes I posted on a real SNES/Game Genie combo, you can tell from the black bar on the left side and the poor quality, it was shot with a cheap capture card, and not on an emulator.

[NayusDante]

No, I mean open up your GG with a screwdriver and take a picture of the board.

[Urzu402]

I would but I'm too afraid I will break it, but it just seems to be your ordinary Game Genie nothing special about it, it's the model that adds the dashes after you type the line of code out. I have two SNES Game Genies, and on the outside they both look identical and both only have open spaces where the extra pins would be. also I thought it was common knowledge that Mega Man X2 and Mega Man X3 worked with them even with their chips. the only reason I added the part about it being able to be done on a Game Genie is because there is a PAR code to allow you to play as Zero without having to call him which is incompatible with the Game Genie

[NayusDante]

also I thought it was common knowledge that Mega Man X2 and Mega Man X3 worked with them even with their chips.

I just tried this, and now my SNES won't power on anymore. Great, and the Retro Duo is over at my friend's house...

[Urzu402]

I think the chips in X3 and X2 are only for the wireframe animations so they aren't even used often, so the game may crash if it has to generate a wireframe. But I don't see how it could stop a SNES from powering on.

[Enigmus]

I suggest you sue Urzu for indirect destruction of property.

[NayusDante]

Nevermind, reseated the power adapter and it's fine. Still getting a black screen on the GG, I'll clean it tomorrow. I don't remember it ever working for X2 before.

[Urzu402]

Maybe it's the model of the Game Genie that is the problem do you have the one that adds the dash after you type the code in, or the one where the dash is already there?

[NayusDante]

I've never seen one that didn't have the dash, but it's in the XXXX-XXXX format.

[Urzu402]

Earlier versions of the Game Genies always have the Dash there, the newer versions have the dashes added to the line of code after you enter it. If I know my Game Genie history Nintendo didn't like the Game Genie and had put checksums in their games, I dont know if this is just for NES or not but, it seems likely they did something similar to SNES games too. this info came from Wiki I would assume it applies to third party titles too.


Around the time of the lawsuit with Galoob, Nintendo used other methods in attempts to thwart the Game Genie, using ROM checksums in later titles intended to detect cheat modifications. These measures were partially successful but some could be bypassed with additional codes. Later versions of the Game Genie had the ability to hide Genie modifications from checksum routines

[Urzu402]

I found this video I shot a while ago
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=384CSRMe3rw
sorry for the poor quality it was shot with a cell phone, but you can clearly see im using the codes I mentioned and a Mega Man X3/Game Genie combo on a classic SNES

[NayusDante]

Well, after a good cleaning, I got X2 to boot with Game Genie. However, it bypasses the code entry screen. Mine enters the dash automatically when it comes up on other games. Everything in the game seems to work, but there's definitely some slowdown with the wireframe graphics.

[BetaWolf47]

I thought this was common knowledge too. Later SNES Game Genies do work with games that use extra pins. The pins do not make contact with the board though. I'm not sure how or why it works. It just has plastic slots where the extra pins go. Pretty sure I've played Star Fox with codes before.

[Urzu402]

I really don't know why it would do that. I just tried X2 with my Game Genie and it worked even on an SNES Mini I didn't enter codes because I don't know any for X2 but the code screen did come up.

[MarioMania]

Where in the game in X2 & X3 that uses wireframe??

[BetaWolf47]

Oh yeah, on topic, one of my most memorable is this Gameshark code for Pokemon Gold and Silver on GBC:
01FBEDD0
Catch Celebi in the wild! I don't know why I have this code memorized exactly. It's probably not even my favorite.

[Urzu402]

try doing this taken from Gamefaqs

Cx4 test

Hold B on controller 2, then turn on the power of the Super Nintendo to view the stats of the game's Cx4 chip.

That will generate wire frames to test the Cx4 chip.
