Game Genie Codes for Japanese games

[rbudrick]

Hi Folks,

I've often noticed that you can almost never find these for Famicom, SFC, gameboy, etc, since the Game Genie was almost entirely a North American release.

It would be fun to mess around with my import games with special codes. Has anyone ever run across a site that has game genie codes for Japanese games?

I believe that's the largest code base for homebrew codes for older consoles. For a number of games you can use the U.S. codes on their Japanese counterparts.

The easiest way to get cheats for import games would be to buy a Pro Action Replay, it has a built-in trainer for finding codes. Emulators also have that feature. You won't find many import codes for Game Genie since finding useful codes takes a *very* long time

Are there pro action replays for older systems? Like, GB, Gamegear, etc?

You can also use an emulator search to find pro action replay codes (at least for the snes). Game genie codes are difficult to find because they depend on the rom values, so it is usually a matter of luck to find good codes. The pro action replay rules because it uses ram values.
