This resulted in some particularly reality-bending codes, the best of which I have included here. Before long, the codes included in the official Game Genie booklet got boring, so my brother and I made up our own. After all, I thought, I bought the game, and I should be able to play it however I want ( “Game Genie: empowering the gamer since 1991”). Tired of being told by game designers that I had to play the games their way, I delighted in manipulating game mechanics. When I was bored with regular old NES games, I could essentially “reprogram” them with the device and make them more interesting.

That’s our objective.The Game Genie is without a doubt the coolest peripheral I’ve ever owned for the NES. Another developer, ocesse, is hard at work on a similar patch for Super Metroid, and Vilela told RetroRGB in March that once both patches are complete “we will likely have a solid standard which future ROM modders will be able to apply to any SNES game. We’d love it if there was an official way to pay for Nintendo-approved ROMs, but for now you’re going to have to get creative, especially since Nintendo has aggressively gone after sites that distribute ROMs of its games.Īlthough this hack just covers Super Mario World, the hope is to develop a standard that can eventually be applied across all SNES games. Instructions for how to get the patch set up can be found over on the project’s GitHub page, but note that you’re going to have to find your own Super Mario World ROM as part of the process.
