Can't remember the game, but removing and inserting the cartridge, enabled some kind of glitch I could use to cheat as a kid.

- maxbaines 2y agoWas a similar hack, for sure another game though! I could never handle sports games, although I loved playing them about level 3 or shot put in olympics games I was done for.
- xanderlewis 2y agoI remember trying that kind of thing with Pokémon Emerald when I must’ve been about ten. It was supposed to allow me to clone an item. When I put the cartridge back in, the screen was blank apart from a message simply saying something like ‘The save file is corrupted. A new save file must be created.’. I was devastated. 200 hours and what felt like a life’s journey. And it was all gone.
