We live in a rotten, barren hellscape.
>Even cheat codes are mostly gone
This, honestly. What happened? Do any new games have cheat codes?
Online, achievements, and microtransactions made cheat codes go bye bye.
Resi games sort of have them where you can unlock infinite ammo
Red Dead 2 was the last one I remember.
The only types I can think of off the top of my head are PC games and Cheat Tables/Trainers, unless the game has built in cheats by the developer.
Real answer
Cheats were included in the game for devs and testing to be able to make sure the game worked, and it was easier for them to leave then in and not frick with the code than it was to take them out and potentially break the build.
This lead do level selects and dev menus along with complex inputs or "Enter Cheat" menus to enable the dev functions. Some ran with it and added in fun stuff like big head mode, but these days they don't need to add in these dev tools.
technically mods are the concept of cheat codes but greatly extended
>Paying for -just- the ability to cheat
You're no god, you're just an errand boy.
I regret not finding a real R4 card for like 5$ before the market just got flooded with those shitty clones with timebombs in them. I have a DStwo card but it's such an unreliable piece of shit.
The clones are actually plenty reliable. I've got a whole bunch of them for various different consoles and they all work fine with YSMenu.
Walking through walls in Pokemon was one of the coolest things ever as a kid.
>Used to have a code that could scale your character in Mario 64 DS and you could use it with the super mushroom to hit everything in the stage for 100s of 1ups
>It was lost with 90% of the internet vanishing in 2010
>Fricking gamewinners doesn't exist anymore
Why don't you make it again then?
As much as I would want to be a weirdo and remake that code so I can make yoshi giant again for naughty reasons.
It would be a tremendous pain in the ass to recreate the circumstances to expose the parts of memory that control those parameters and map controls to that functionality to input being received and processed.
I can just open up Blender at this point and save literal hours.
For me it's
fricking kek I still vividly remember the very first day cheaters appeared online in metroid prime hunters, flying weavel became a meme in french forums because of this
They died a violent death.
>90% of the internet vanishing
I feel like a schizo but it genuinely seems like most of the sites I remember from my childhood got memoryholed and don't have any proof of existing.
>sites I remember from my childhood got memoryholed and don't have any proof of existing
The only site I used to be on that is actually still around is Gaia Online.
You're not a schizo, and unfortunately it did happen.
You can blame that partially on the fact that those were always just small communities that were never archived that were never going to be maintained forever, but also mainly the fact that the modern internet is HYPER fixated on e-commerce and advertisements so any time you're trying to find something that's just a 100% genuine informative or community website, search engines just don't know what the frick you're looking for.
have you tried to waybackmachine it?
if you are lucky the new owners of whatever domains didn't blacklist the caching
While I appreciate you attempting to be helpful, I wouldn't be this annoyed if it were the case that it was actually archived.
Nah they just moved to other sites.
gamehacking.org
I think gamehacking.org pretty much scrapped a lot of codes from old dead sites seeing as how they have a bunch of copy codes. gbatemp.com might have some code hacking topics scattered on various forms. reddit too might also have some console code hacking threads. I learned that archive.org archived a ton of old hacking forums and was able to find a lot of hidden gem codes.
>that fricking 5000 billion character long code for phantom hourglass that just patches in normal controls into the game
based but also holy fricking shit imagine entering that manually
>imagine entering that manually
As opposed to what? Making a bot that types it in for you?
wasn't there a usb cable that let you just download codes on the DS AR? I meant that as opposed to typing it on the DS touch screen.
I don't think so. Or at least I hope not because I spent literal hours typing in some codes back in the day.
Yeah, you could use a usb cable to send code files to your DS so you wouldn't have to type them out on your ds.
Generally, you wouldn't be manually typing in codes on your ds unless you were creating codes.
NTA There in fact was, cause I specifically remember the shit software not working on my-then-laptop.
>Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2
>Could change the hero and partner Pokemon to anything before starting a new game with them
I did Kabuto/Omanyte, Bagon/Dratini, Plusle/Minun runs back in the day.
Too bad they would run in place instead of sleeping
Zoomers don't give a shit about old handheld games, they'd either emulate or watch a Let's Play
>Zoomers don't give a shit about old handheld games
I was born in 99 and I used the shit out of action replay, am I not a zoomer?
>Too bad they would run in place instead of sleeping
Oh yeah? Never had that happen to me.
i literally have a DS with action replay, dumbass.
Sounds fun indeed. Getting to start games with characters, weapons or abilities you usually can't get until way later is always one of my favorite alternate ways to play. Not even because I want to be overpowered or anything, but just to have the variety of getting to experience the whole game with something you usually can't.
>code to catch trainer's pokemon
Pokemon didn't feel the same without having this on.
>Nuzlocke but instead of capturing the first wild pokemon of a route you steal the first pokemon of a trainer in a route
I wonder how fun would that be
>Black personlocke
>not noglocke
I've never beat a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game without using one of these.
These things were made like complete dirt though. I've had to buy multiple over the years because they just break completely if you use them too many times. I remember corrupting the absolute frick out of a Pokemon Ruby save file. I don't even remember what it was I did, but the GameShark had a mind of its own at times.
That's just one reason an R4 is better, you can even use cheats on real carts with one using Nitrohax.
Is action replay zoomercore, millenialcore, or boomercore?
Millenial since game sharks and AR's were on prior consoles too. Game Genie is boomer.
AR already existed in early C64 days, so basically all are "boomer" you some moron really wants to use those shizo terms.
>>Who else became gods?
PokeGods? I shall create my own team of level 255 GODS! The kids at the playground stand no chance against me.
I used this to beat my friend in pkm black, still feel bad about it :<
In the pokemon gold and silver days I used to sell custom pokemons, rare candies and master balls to other kids on the beach for 1€

300cc mode in mario kart ds
I've never understood what the difference was between the cc modes
they all play the same
Bigger number is bigger speed
Though they aren't as prevalent, so niche games will only get the basic codes like "Infinite Health", "Infinite Money", etc., they are still out there. And to use them you just need to either be emulating or using a hacked console. Plus there's Cheat Engine and console equivalents, so if you know what you're doing there's even more options open to you.
