Introduction.

Welcome to the Big Book of Game Genie Codes, which is the product of over two years of research and hard work.

What's in it?
 

  • An edited version of the original Game Genie manual.
  • An updated/expanded section on finding new Game Genie Codes.
  • Some tips on using Game Genie codes, with real hardware and with emulators.
  • Codes for over three hundred games ready to print out or save to your hard drive in .pat format.
  • Full text search facilities.

Although many other sites have Game Genie Codes for the Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive I believe this represents the most complete set of codes to be found anywhere, with codes for 335 games, and now it's yours to keep for instant reference offline. I have gone through all the codes one by one correcting mistakes as I found them, many of the larger codes were incorrectly numbered for instance, there may well be one or two mistakes in there but I've tried my best to remove as many of them as possible.

It's intended to fill two roles:
 

  • First it is a replacement manual for those of us who still use real Game Genies on our Sega Genesis or Mega-Drive whose original manuals have been lost or damaged. It can also be considered to be an update as it contains many more codes than the manual you received with your Game Genie and all the codes can be printed out for convenient use next to your console.
  • Secondly it's for those of you using the Game Genie function built into many of the popular Genesis/Mega-Drive emulators, all the codes can be saved onto your hard drive as .Pat files to save you countless hours of typing. Hopefully by reading through the manual you'll also gain a better idea of how Game Genie codes are used, we receive countless e-mails on this subject here at The Genesis Project and I've tried to make things as clear as possible for you.

I hope you all enjoy using this e-book.

Greetings/Acknowledgements.

This e-book started life as the "Game Genie Codes" section at our website, The Genesis Project. Many people have contributed to it over the last couple of years, far too many in fact for me to remember everyone but I'd like to thank the following people in particular:
 
  • All those people who sent in "missing" or hard to find codes.
  • Cheatmaster of the Genie's Bottle for her help and most of the coding examples on the "Finding New Codes" section plus codes for a couple of games.
  • Tony Hedstrom of the Code Hut for some additional help on the "Finding New Codes" section, the "No master codes" trick, and codes for several games.
  • Darkwolf from Sega Forever for converting some of the codes in to .pat format.
  • DezE for his continued help in running The Genesis Project and the scanning and OCR work he did with my original Game Genie manual.
  • Stéphane Dallongeville for his Excellent Gens Emulator.
  • Anyone else who has contributed to this e-book or the Genesis Project.

To those who have contributed to these Game Genie Codes I apologize if you're not named personally in this list but as I said I've received a lot of help putting theses codes together.
