GameShark/ActionReplay CDX Code Database

[bucanero]

So... yesterday I was messing around with some files I had with tons of GameShark codes, and I decided to build an online Dreamcast cheat code database using PHP+MySQL. :cool:

Right now there's 3500+ GameShark/ActionReplay CDX cheat codes for 254 dreamcast games, but I'll keep adding more games and codes I've around. I also have a couple of related projects in mind that will help Dreamcast's gamers to handle cheat codes. :D

Visit the Cheat Code Database here:

I hope this page is useful for the Dreamcast community! :)

nice one bucanero

[Cid Highwind]

Thanks :D

One question though: Do PAL and NTSC share the same codes?

Excellent.

Muchas Gracias BUCANERO.
Thx very much for the news

[bucanero]

Thanks :D

No, they don´t. :(
USA, JAP & PAL games can't share cheat codes, you'll need codes for the correct version of your game.

You might ask "why?"... well, these cheat devices use a simple concept: patch precise memory addresses where the game store variables like "lives", "energy", "ammo", etc...
Each game version store those values in different memory regions, so if you for ex. use a PAL code in a JAP game, the cheats won't work.

I'll soon add more codes and post the game region for each code.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up, it was what I expected. It would really help if you'd put up the region of which the codes belong to. I assume most are NTSC?

As requested, now when you click on a game you'll get the codes and the region of the game. (It can be USA, JAP or PAL) :cool:

btw, right now most of the codes are USA and there are some JAP codes, but don´t worry I'll keep adding more games & regions. :D

[bucanero]

As promised, I've added about 120 PAL games with a nice bunch of cheat codes. ;)

Now you'll find 5000 cheat codes for 374 games :D
