There are no reviews yet. 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. The Game Genie attaches to the end of the NES cartridge, causing the cartridge to protrude from the console when fully inserted, making the depression impossible.
Therefore, the Game Genie was designed in such a way that it did not need to be depressed in order to start the game. This design put even more stress on the LIF socket than standard game insertion, bending pins and eventually causing units to be unplayable without the Game Genie present.
The design of the Game Genie also made it very difficult to insert into a newer top-loading NES without pressing very hard. An adapter was created to deal with the problem, which Galoob offered to Game Genie owners free of charge, [6] but few were requested, and the stock was liquidated. There also exists a version of the Game Genie for the Family Computer, distributed by Realtec and sold in areas where Famiclones were common.
When used with a SNS, only two codes can be used at a time, and they must be entered on the top and bottom lines of the Game Genie menu. The only way to tell v1 and v2 apart is by opening the cart and checking the PCB. The Game Boy edition similarly has a slot for cartridges while itself needing to be inserted into the console's game slot.
The physical design made it difficult to be used with any version of the Game Boy other than the original. The unit is also not compatible with Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance cartridges which will not physically fit into the unit. However, color enhanced games will function if played in an original Game Boy system. Some games do not work with the Genesis Game Genie; The unit is also not compatible with Sega 32X cartridges see 'legal issues' below.
The Game Gear version of the Game Genie had a more complicated design than those for other systems. When inserted into the cartridge slot, another slot would pop-up to insert the Game Gear cartridge.
It also had a compartment which contained a book of codes. The codes were printed on sticky labels to put on the back of the Game Gear cartridge. When entering codes, the player could easily see what to type in rather than looking through the book.
On the screen in which a code is entered for the Game Gear Game Genie, a player typing the word 'DEAD' will cause the screen to move up and down, possibly as an Easter egg.
Nintendo then sued Galoob in the case Galoob v. Nintendo , claiming that the Game Genie created derivative works in violation of copyright law. Sales of the Game Genie initially stopped in the U. Around the time of the lawsuit from Galoob, Nintendo tried to use other methods to thwart the Game Genie, using ROM checksums in later titles intended to detect the 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. Sega, on the other hand, was a full endorser of the Game Genie, with their official seal of approval. One of Sega's requirements for this, however, was that the Game Genie wouldn't work with games that have a save feature, such as the Phantasy Star or Shining Force series.
A substantially more powerful device was developed by Codemasters for the Super NES, with many improvements including the ability for users to find their own cheat codes, to selectively activate cheats during gameplay using the game controller, to switch games into a slow-motion mode, as well as automatically save and restore the high-scores from games into battery-backed memory on the Game Genie device itself.
A fully working prototype of the device was completed, but was not brought to market due to changes in market conditions.
One prototype is known to remain in existence, in the possession of Richard Aplin, one of its original creators. The latest version supports save states, interlace mode, Game Genie , Linux joystick support, compressed ROM images, and other nice.
