Load the Game you want to Add Cheats for and then go to Options ▶ Cheats.

 

The Cheats Dialog will now be open. Right click in the content area and select Add button either Game Genie or Pro-Action Replay from the context menu. It is the only NES emulator that allows you to add and use Game Genie and Pro Action Replay Codes plus multiple cheat codes on one adding.

Game Genie

 

When multiple codes are necessary enter them here separated with a dash character. Example: xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx. You can have 3 codes Maximum per Game Genie cheat.

Pro Action Replay Codes

 

Provided in a specialized text format: <address>-<value>. In this format, addresses are represented in four digit hexadecimal number, and values are represented in two digit hexadecimal. For example 0023-44 would write the value 0x44 to the location 0x0023. You may have up to six codes in the list.

 

Options are useful when a single code provides multiple values for a user select from.  Input the code in the format xxxx-??, then you may add extra values in the format <value>, <description> in the list on the right. Again values are represented as two digit hexadecimal.

Adding Tree Grouping

 

When adding many cheats to a game, it may be helpful to organize certain cheats into categories for faster navigation.

Infinite\Health
or:
Infinite\Health\Player 1
Infinite\Health\Player 2
 

Be mindful of the fact that while parents can be shared, a parent node itself cannot contain a cheat. For example, you can not use Infinite\Ammo with Infinite\Ammo\Player 1 etc.
