how to make your own game genie codes

[Helder]

The reason they (BigBossMan and daminmancejin) don't use the proper tools and methods is real simple, they don't have a pc at home to use the software/tools we all have used and currently use.
daminmancejin currently logs into the site thru his ps3 and is limited to what hardware he has namely a GG and a genesis console.
BigBossMan has no means of getting online unless at his job and has the same hardware as daminmancejin a GG a genesis but he also has a PAR which he does hack genuine codes with.
True the GG random character method is just plain luck and a waste to many if not all of us, but seeing as they don't have the necessary tools (pc/software/roms/etc) they are sharing their methods of how they made their codes,we shouldn't judge too harshly as we don't know their financial situations or whatever is holding them from obtaining the hardware.

That's ok, although in fairness at no place in this thread was the lack of PC or online connectivity stated for being the reason for using these methods. The only reference I can see in this thread for using this method was the statement "i like to use the real sega genesis" which sorts of indicates a choice has been made - I see no shame in not owning a PC (for whatever reason).

It wasn't my aim to annoy, I was just stating facts. Any codes knowingly created with such a method should not be spread as it dillutes any codes that have been properly made.

[daminmancejin]

If it works for you fine, but you really shouldn't be attempting to teach others these methods - or frankly in my opinion even posting the results as it will just lead to loads and loads of buggy codes. I shudder to think of how much time you've wasted on these methods, if you'd spent a fraction of the time learning the proper methods I have little doubt you'd had produced a lot more codes in a lot less time.

It might well of been one of the only ways in the past to make codes on the native hardware without a direct PC connection, but with emulators and debuggers aplenty these methods deserve to be consigned to the dustbin of history - sorry!

If someone is not capable of reading/understanding code then they should learn the basics with making simple PAR codes, and after that pick up a little debugger+assembler knowledge and progress to simple GG codes and then onwards. By all means test/use the codes produced on the native hardware but that's all.

fine i won't help anymore sorry

fine i won't help anymore sorry

I understand Pugsy's point, but daminmancejin, instead of not posting anymore codes, maybe you could compromise by starting to include any known glitches/side effects in the code notes, or adding something like "may cause unknown side effects". That way, anyone using the codes will know they may be buggy.

fine i won't help anymore sorry

I don't see why stop posting as you have "discovered" many useful codes, but I think its time for you to step up and get a cheap pc to do some real hacking and since you have the real hardware you can test the codes for better confirmation than the emulator can.

I absolutely agree with helder on this. You'll find much more satisfaction and have a lot more fun doing it the right way, and a cheap pc for a couple hundred bucks will do the trick just fine. The curve for learning to properly debug is well worth the experience.

Trust me man I went from snes/nes to GBA and NDS to Genesis and Saturn all with just learning a little assembly, many thing apply to other systems and experimenting is so much fun and rewarding. Even if you can't afford say $300 which is how much a very good system on Tiger Direct costs then go to craigslist for a cheapo $100 system.

[BigBossman]

Yes, that's not hacking codes though that's just using this:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem


If someone asks you for an infinite lives or invincibility cheat and you produce a cheat that gives the character a red jacket (but crashes the game after level 4) after several hours of typing random codes in then you are not hacking but relying on pure dumb luck. If somebody asks me for an infinite lives cheat then I can find a PAR code and the corresponding GG cheat that will not have any random bugs in well under 5 minutes because I know assembly (68000 in the case of the Genesis) so I can actually read+understand the game code.

I thought that was an interesting link. Since posting that, I have gained a much better understanding of Game Genie codes. However, I've been messing around with the PAR2. The only downside with the PAR2 is that finding random codes is next to impossible. However, I think the codes are easier to understand.

People punching stuff into a Game Genie, may not be "hacking" & may not be able to find anything specific, but I've seen some cool stuff come from that. You are right. It is dumb luck. If the GG came with a generator or trainer like the PAR2, people wouldn't have to rely on using randomness.

the 5th slot is a continue of the modifier code
AA5A-BAD6

I've been looking for these for weeks.
I finally found it here.
Thanks for posting this one man.
These are great!!
Cheers!!!!!!!!!
Keep them coming!

[thenewguy]

thx daminmancejin for guide

[daminmancejin]

your very welcome

[daminmancejin]

i notice 7th and 8th slot are like a continue of the code when you change them like this there like counting number

AA7T-AAAA
AA7T-AAAC
AA7T-AAAE
AA7T-AAAG
AA7T-AAAJ
AA7T-AAAL
AA7T-AAAN
AA7T-AAAR
AA7T-AAAT
AA7T-AAAW
AA7T-AAAY
AA7T-AAA0
AA7T-AAA2
AA7T-AAA4
AA7T-AAA6
AA7T-AAA8
when you go all the way up to 8 change the 7th slot to B
so the code keeps going like this
AA7T-AABA
AA7T-AABC
AA7T-AABE
AA7T-AABG
AA7T-AABJ
AA7T-AABL
AA7T-AABN
AA7T-AABR
AA7T-AABT
AA7T-AABW
AA7T-AABY
AA7T-AAB0
AA7T-AAB2
AA7T-AAB4
AA7T-AAB6
AA7T-AAB8
when you done with 8 again go to C like this
AA7T-AACA
AA7T-AACC
AA7T-AACE
AA7T-AACG
AA7T-AACJ
AA7T-AACL
AA7T-AACN
AA7T-AACR
AA7T-AACT
AA7T-AACW
AA7T-AACY
AA7T-AAC0
AA7T-AAC2
AA7T-AAC4
AA7T-AAC6
AA7T-AAC8
get it now....

Sorry, I wrote a reply thinking you were doing nes codes. I guess I should pay better attention

[daminmancejin]

no didn't you look at the topic ^_^
