Cheat question #840

Why do I have to give a cheat a name before I can enable it??!!

ghost commented 4 years ago

because all cheats deserve a name

Well true , I used to name the cheat with the same cheat itself (ram or gamegenie code..etc) I think it's kinda annoying , the same way the cheat vanishes after modifying the rom. Technically a cheat doesn't need a name.

How will you know what the cheat does if it does not have a name?

You can still name a cheat code, while also not. This feature is helpful for both who uses cheats to play and those who uses it to hack and mod the game and set breakpoints to disassemble. Fceux have that feature.Me personally most of the time I use cheats to achieve modding purposes, so basically most of the time I know the code by just looking at it (Since most codes I search for them myself).
