Err... I don't think you have to have chips on your Game Genie to make it work with chipped games. The chips are already on the original cart. Perhaps I am confused.

Yeah, I'm confused. I think.

I do love some FX-chipped games, though. Dirt Trax FX is one cool game, as is Star Fox 2. I FINALLY got to play Star Fox 2 as it was meant to be played... on an SNES. Very short but way awesome to see the SNES pumping out simple polygons. I love the way the walker moves. Very cool graphics for a 16-bit system.

I'm not sure what you mean, but it doesn't matter what extra chips are on the cart. The GG is just intercepting the signals between the cart and the console, and altering them. Extra chips on the cart shouldn't affect GG compatability?

Perhaps Mr. Mania is thinking of a copier, which may indeed have problems with games with extra chips?

I'm not thinking of a copier, I'm just asking about the Game Genie, Like if you have Mega Man X2 or X3 in the Game Genie..what effect are taking out because the GG dosn't have the 2 chip in there, I can't really explain it well

Don't certain models of the SNES Game Genie lack the extra pins needed by SFX games?

All SNES Game Genies were missing the extra pins, which were often used by the special chip games. The most popular example is Starfox, but there's a number of others including Super Mario RPG. I'm not sure if MMX2 or MMX3 work.

They have the extra pins, so I'm sure they don't.
