awsomo3000 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Welp, i put in a bunch of codes in my game genie for super metroid. Whjen the game started it showed the nintendo logo then it showed a message that was somthing like: Copying video Games is a serious crime, for more informatiom please see you nintendo users guide. So i reset the game and switch off the game genie to see if i could at least play with out the codes, but my saved game was deleted!!!! this ever happen to any of you guys when using a game genie and why do you think it happens?

Dones Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I have seen it happen on a different cart, but with an SNES version of the action replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my save survived. Anyways, what's going on is the game attempts to detect the presence of a copier. If it sees oddities that it thinks indicate a cart copier, you get the big nasty save-deleting anti-piracy warning. There's a "master code" you have to enter that disables the copier check.

figgler Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 You get a similar "warning" if you try to use a Genie with Donkey Kong Country 2 or 3. I've never had it erase my game though. Shitty. Does anyone know why my Gmae Genie doesn't work at all? Does it have a shelf-life or what ? The screen comes up, but any codes I enter don't ever work for any games. Only thing I can think of is a) it's a dud, or b) my SNES 2 doesn't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a switch on the front that enables and disables the Genie. If it's on, a green light glows, and codes work. If it's off, no light, no codes.

figgler Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I wish it were that simple JB. Green light on - no code action.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I had my super Metroid save erased because I was too lazy to unhook the copier/SFC combo and hook up the SNES... It was fun playing from the start again though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
