Did unc really pay to cheat?
>>
Yes. Cheating was cool and didn't have nigger esports cheating associations back then.

I hate that achievements/trophies ruined cheats for everyone.
>>
>>744633289
Not cheat
Add fun to games you finished. Screwing up Mario's jumping ability and running speeds weren't actually useful, but hella fun
>>
>>744633289
You can't even cheat on current consoles
>>
>>744633289
Nice falseflag, faggot.
The age group you're posing as grew up with paid cosmetics and p2w gacha.
>>
>>744633289
no, using guidebooks was cheating
this is just enhancing the fun
>>
>>744633289
cheating wasn't just to win, it also did cool shit like letting mario fly from a standstill without having to run
>>
Games used to come with cheats too. Wonder what the last game that did that was
>>
Game Genie seemed pretty cool. I mean someone sat around trying and compiling codes for like every nes game. Bet that shit took forever. Also pretty crazy no mainstream game genie for snes or genesis
>>
>>744633597
You can thank (((code signing))) for that

Yes and cheating is based.

Didn't this thing fuck up the cartridge pins?

>he didn't read the text on the device
It says "video game ENHANCER" right there buddy.
>>
>>744634775
Why would it? You don't need to lower an NES cart for it to work by the way
>>
>>744633289
Back then, cheating involved technical expertise. It meant that you had enough knowledge to snoop into the game's memory. That alone justifies it.
>>
>>744633289
The games themselves back then cheated, artificial difficulty look it up, it was a cruel time.

Some games were so hard that it's not like you'd ever beat them normally anyway so you might as well have fun messing with them.

Though yeah, a lot of games already had secrets that allow you to at least have some advantage and it's pretty much the same. They intentionally made the games hard so that you would cheat at them.
>>
>>744633289
I had a game genie for my genesis AND a gameshark for my playstation
>>
>>744633289
In the PS1 generation, some of those things could be used to enable playing pirated game discs.
So cheating, but not the kind of cheating it was originally intended for.
>>
>>744633289
>Did unc really pay to cheat?

The Game Genie and later Game Shark were pretty cool though. If you knew what you were doing, you could hack the games to do all sorts of stupid shit. Yeah, you could use it to cheat, but I always saw it as a way to extend the life of a game.
>>
>>744633597
You can. It's called Microtransactions nowadays though.
>>
>>744633289
Not all the cheats helped you win the games
Sure, there were some like Infinite Lives or Infinite Continues
But a lot of them were straight up retarded (fun) like making the AI go crazy, changing physics, etc

zoomers don't even have to pay to cheat, its built into their games now as long as you use the right input device https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtLETaKsLwY
>>
>>744633289
No, but zoomoids do
>>
>>744633289
I bought an action replay disc for PS2 but I never used it for cheats, only to install freemcboot.
>>
>>744633520
Only a problem for console fags.
>>
>>744642243
Yes shooters should either.
A. Give everyone aimbot for the lols
B. Put all controllers into controller only lobbies.
>>
yep, how else was I going to get darkrai?
