I wonder if old Game Genie codes were made by looking at game RAM, oe just through pure experimentation. Some of the side effects can be pretty wild

depending on the system, the cheat devices worked differently. I think pro action replay (PAR) really did modify the RAM, so the code-makers could just watch some RAM values, find interesting ones, and tweak them.

on the other hand, the NES GG only intercepted reads from ROM, meaning they were literally rewriting single bytes of instructions. so that'd require a lot more sophisticated reverse engineering. you couldn't just "set lives to 9," you'd have to find the piece of code that checks how many lives you have and make it BELIEVE you have 9

god I miss the era of finding a huge collection of game genie codes on gameFAQs, printing them out, and spending hours laughing your ass off at what you could get the game to do
