Default Re: cheat codes
Those cheats with both letters and numbers in them are most likely codes for the GameShark or Pro Action Replay- third party devices that allow you to alter aspects of the game to make things easier (or harder). If you do not have this then the codes you are looking at are useless to you.

Exclamation Re: cheat codes
What Lyndon stated is true, they are, usually, what is called an Action Replay or GameShark Pro code. These codes consist of numbers 0-9 and then letters A-F which is what is known as Hexidecimal (as opposed to decimal which is just numbers 0-1264893653 etc etc for an infinite amount). The letters represent the numbers 10-15 A=10 B=11 etc etc until F which is 15.

However, if you see a cheat that says something like "heroforever", then that is usually a kind of "password" code that you enter into a Codes Page (usually found under the Options menu) of the game the code is stated for.

I hope that fully explains it for you TAURILEE

Jay

Well I do try. I didn't think it was that fantastic. It's just a basic Hexidecimal explanation.

Not that big a deal really

Ahh. I see. But I was just thinking that the other member
was talking about numbers like this:

R1(2), L1(2), X(2)

Stuff like that.

But your explanation was, I guarantee, the right one.

I don't know about it being, guaranteed, the right answer, but your theory is a possibility as well.

There are so many ways to enter cheats or codes in a game, that I think, between you me and Lyn, we've covered them all lol
