Nesterj Game Genie Cheat File

This is the default directory, so your nnNesterJ.ini file SHOULDN'T need any adjusting. For example, my copy of nnNesterJ is on my desktop. My.ini file looks like this: If, for example, you have named your Game Genie folder 'game genie' instead of 'genie', you would just change that line in the.ini file to reflect the changes.

If you're like me, there are some games I could just never win as a kid. This guide will finally allow you to win! (albeit with a much lesser sense of satisfaction)

Download Cheats

As a preface cheats only work through libretro/retroarch so take note of the emulators you are using.

You first need to open the RGUI. There are two ways of accessing the RGUI:

  • In the RetroPie menu of EmulationStation select Retroarchor
  • Hotkey combinationHotkey+X to open the RGUI from within a game

If you haven't done so already, you'll need to enable the advanced settings by navigating to Settings >> User Interface >> Show Advanced Settings, then enabling the Online Updater in View >> Show Online Updater

Next, navigate to Online Updater >> Update Cheats

this will download a set of preconfigured cheat files for many games into /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/cheats

Enable Cheats

Now you can launch the game you want to finally win:

Open the RGUI with Hotkey combinationHotkey+X

Choose Quick Menu >> Cheats >> Load Cheat File

Navigate to your game title and select it

Then navigate to the cheat you want to enable and press left or right to toggle it on/off

Select Apply Cheat Changes

Then press B to go out of the cheat menu and resume your game.

Your cheats should now be enabled

Create Cheat Files

You can create .cht files in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/cheats/<system>/<rom_name>.cht
