Make sure you are not using a Hack\Different Version\or another Region. Game Genie Codes only work on the Good (U) Rom Versions and Pro Action Replay Codes work on all Regions provided it states what region the codes are for.
2. What is a Game Genie Code?
A Game Genie Cheat Code is used by the Game Genie Cheat Device for the NES Console. The codes are encrypted and have to be loaded into the game for the code to take effect as they Modify the ROM not the memory.
So when you see a [Game Genie] Symbol in the Cheat Dialog Note Section you know that means its a Game Genie Code that needs to be enabled either before the game is loaded or the game reset (F1) after it is enabled.
3. What is a Pro Action Replay Code?
A Pro Action Replay Cheat Code is used by the Pro Action Replay Cheat Device for the NES Console. The codes are in Hex which allow the codes to take effect immediately as they modify the Memory not the ROM, so they don't need to be injected into the game before the game is loaded or reset like the Game Genie Codes do.
So when you see a [Pro-Action-Replay] Symbol in the Cheat Dialog Note Section you know that means its a Pro Action Replay Code can just be enabled and used right away, not like the Game Genie that has to be enabled either before the game is loaded or the game reset (F1) after it is enabled.
