huh, okay I always wondered what the button did. I always assumed it was to 'activate' codes that were input, maybe for a different game that I hadnt played yet

- kbrackbill 4y agoI think you could also configure some codes to work that way- like "set the value at this memory address to 0 when you press the button".
- 0des 4y agoFor some reason I thought I had remembered reading about pressing the button for extra lives, or for clipping, but not having the game it was for, when I was reading about it at the time. Incidentally, Game genie and Gameshark were the first time I realized I was committing piracy (or any crime), when I was asked to leave a store for writing down a code that was in one of those 10,000 Game Codes books. It's been a long sordid tale of hidden algebra notecards and microscopic formula sheets ever since. This life of crime chose me.
