Junie Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 I have heard it mentioned somewhere before that there was a cheating device for Atari 2600 games, I think it was called Cheeta. Does anyone know any site links about it, or can give me some more details. I am very interested in talking my knowledge of the Super NES GameGenie and see what I can't do myself.

JCroniger Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 I'm not too sure about the cheeta, but there was a quick fire adapter made by Tenma. Also, some 3rd party joysticks have quick fire built in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 I think he's refering to the part you could put between the joystick plug and the atari that made continuous fire. In other words the game just acted like you were pushing the button over and over.Didnt always help out on the game you were playing...Try using it on Popeye!!!

rasty Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Cheeta is a program that links to a binary rom image. Once you load the rom (with an emu or a CuttlaCart) you'll be prompted with a menu to enter cheats a-la Action Replay. Then, the game will start. Too bad there are just a few codes around!! rasty.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigor Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 And so far Bob Colbert has not written a version of Cheeta that is compatible with the cuttle cart, so it will only work with 2 and 4K games that will also work on an unmodified supercharger.

rasty Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Matthew: does it mean that a 2 or 4k rom with Cheeta won't work on a CuttleCurt? (ok guess I could try it myself ) greets, Rasty.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigor Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 What I meant to say was that any rom that WILL play on an unmodified Supercharger will also play on a Cuttle Cart. Any 2K or 4K ROM that will run on a "stock" Supercharger, compiled with Cheetah, *should* run on the Cuttle Cart. But not all 2 and 4K ROMS, and not any 8K or larger ROMS...yet. I think that eventually we'll get Bob to make a newer version of Cheetah that will work with many more games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
