Emulator cheat codes

29
These are not console commands. They are memory codes for emulators such as RetroArch (Quick Menu → Cheats) or for cheat devices like Game Genie and Action Replay. Each set works only on the regional version named, and none of them have been tested by us. Make a save before trying one — a bad memory code can crash or corrupt a game.
