About this product

Product Information

The Game Genie Video Game Enhancer System is a popular device that enables players to enter cheat codes or access hidden features on older consoles. This version is for the Sega Genesis console. However, the Genie is much more than a means of gaining infinite lives in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Golden Axe. It’s an advanced piece of programming hardware that can rewrite the information delivered by the cartridge's ROM on the fly. This enables players to access hidden or incomplete content. The Game Genie not only lets players get more out of their video games, but it also provides a unique gaming experience. The Genie also enables players to play Sega Genesis outside of their region. This is because it disables the region locking normally present in the Sega Genesis console. Sega endorsed this product, placing their seal of approval right on the box.The Game Genie uses codes to unlock unique gaming experiences. There is an infinite number of potential codes that can be entered. These codes are stored in the system's ROM and reinterpret software code traveling between the console and the game. When a code is entered at the start screen, it is applied to the software through the Game Genie. By tweaking the numbers being sent through, these Game Genie codes change the game's core functions. The manufacturer, Galoob, was smart enough to determine relevant codes such as infinite lives, extra lives, or fewer lives. They then printed them in booklets and magazines. Other common cheats published by Galoob include infinite time limits, infinite player damage, decreased enemy damage, and increased character speed. This last cheat code can make games such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 particularly exciting. This is accomplished by enabling the game to be run at a faster rate.Modern coders have found many additional changes by using modern computers to examine the code. By examining each game in detail, they can determine how the code interacts with the Game Genie. This has enabled many more cheats and codes to be discovered. Easily found online, these codes enable the Game Genie to completely rewrite games. Streets of Rage and Streets of Rage 2 can have more and tougher enemies on screen. This is also true of Fatal Fury and Double Dragon. Players can skip directly to specific levels in Revenge of Shinobi, Jurassic Park, or Tiny Toon Adventures. Level select in Earthworm Jim 2, and pick up right where you left off in James Pond. Mortal Kombat can be made to play more similarly to the arcade original. Road Rash and Thunder Force can also be made more challenging. The Genie can offer much more than just infinite lives, although it retains this function as well.These options result in a unique playing experience that can be as easy or as difficult as the player desires. With the right codes, challenging Sega Genesis games can become a walk in the park. Additionally, other codes can add challenges to simpler games. The introduction of infinite lives enables Sega gamers to practice new techniques for speed running. Also, infinite enemy damage can provide challenge desired in other brawlers. The near infinite capability of the Genie makes it a must-have item for Genesis gamers or Sega fans looking to breathe new life into older games.

Great Game Enhancer
The original Game Genies were pass-through devices that attached between a cartridge and the console. Upon starting the console, the player is prompted enter a series of characters referred to as a "code" or several such series that reference addresses in the ROM of the cartridge. Each code contains an integer value that is read by the system in place of the data actually present on the cartridge. Because the Game Genie patches the program code of a game, the codes are sometimes referred to as patch codes.[citation needed] These codes can have a variety of effects. Most published codes give the player some form of invulnerability, infinite ammunition, level skipping, or other modifications that allow the player to be more powerful than intended by the developers.

Each code contains an integer value that is read by the system in place of the data actually present on the cartridge. Because the Game Genie patches the program code of a game, the codes are sometimes referred to as patch codes.[citation needed] These codes can have a variety of effects. Most published codes give the player some form of invulnerability, infinite ammunition, level skipping, or other modifications that allow the player to be more powerful than intended by the developers. In rare cases, codes can make the game more difficult or even unlock hidden game features that developers had scrapped and rendered unreachable in normal play. The Game Genie sold with a booklet of codes for use with various games available for the system. However, new codes continued to be developed and new games were released after these booklets were published. To address this, Galoob created a paid subscription service where subscribers would receive quarterly code updates. In addition, Galoob also ran ads in certain gaming publications, such as GamePro, that featured codes for newer games. Today, these codes and many others developed by players and hobbyists can be found on the Internet. To create new codes, it is possible to enter random codes into a Game Genie. This evolutionary approach is equivalent to using random POKE operations. Usually, entering random codes will result in no noticeable change in the game or freezing the game and possibly corrupting save data, but a useful difference may appear in the game if this process is repeated many times. One must write down the random codes for each attempt because there is no method to view the codes after starting the game. Once a useful code is discovered, making slight modifications to this code has a much higher probability of producing additional useful codes. 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.
