Programming Your Game Genie!

Programming Your Own Codes When programming your own codes, keep in mind the following guidelines:

  • The easiest way to program your own codes is to make slight changes in existing code.
  • If you are making small changes to existing codes, you must have 8 characters in the code.
  • You can also program codes by simply using random characters. You must have 8 characters in the code.
  • Using 2 or more codes at a time is a more difficult way to program random codes, since it's harder to tell which code is making the effect happen.
  • Some kinds of codes are easier to program. The best one are codes with numbers in them (number of lives, bullets, weapons, seconds/minutes etc.).
  • Some kinds of codes are harder to program, such as "Infinite Lives" or "Super Mega Power."
  • Many codes you create will have some effect but often it will be such a small change that you will not notice any difference. YOU MAY HAVE TO TRY MANY RANDOM CODES BEFORE YOU GET AN INTERESTING EFFECT.
  • If you find a random code that has an interesting effect, then try changing it by using the programming techniques in the next section. This way, you are more likely to "home in" on a really good effect.

    Your success in code programming will depend a lot on luck. Keep trying! Of course, some of the effects you create you may not like. Alm0ost any effect is possible-good, bad, interesting, annoying, fun, or just plain silly.

    If a code you program interrupts the game or causes an undesired effect, just turn the power off and then on again, and the program different codes to play.

    How to Program There are two basic methods used to program your own codes by changing existing codes.
    Using Method #1, you change the 6th character of the code.

    Using Method #2, you change the 1st and/or 2nd character of the code.
