In Games

i used my game genie with star fox the other night (super nintendo)

and it didnt work... i tried the infinite life code and the "always have 4 smart bomb" code. (im such a cheater )

any one got any suggestions or answers as to why it didnt work?

yep. Star Fox (on the SNES I assume you mean) used extra chips on the cart PCB, which used extra pins on the connector edge that the Game Genie doesn't have. so the Star Fox cart wasn't being read/used on all of the required hardware. so it didn't work.

I actually looked at a friend's SNES Game Genie a few months ago and asked myself exactly what would happen with those games that used the extra pins (Star Fox, Megaman X2, and X3, Stunt Race FX)

But how do you get those games to work with the Game Genie? Shouldn't there be a way?
I mean, there are codes. You can't find out codes when you can't use the deVice. Or am I wrong?

There will have to be a way otherwise they wouldnt be there, also for some reason i cant use Xplorer 64(N64 Cheating/Hacking diVice) with Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64), i put the cheats on but when i play the game they are not working.

starfox is a really good game to, whats with that game and cheats?!
