Hey guys an gals. I've recently bought a GameGenie and are currently messing around with it, having some fun you know? I was wondering are there US and EU codes or is it the same? The reason I ask is because of TGL(tadaaa!!!) I'm from Denmark and therefore I have a PAL NES and a PAL version of Guardian Legend(with much better box art than the US version I may ad ) When I try using GG with the codes I can drum up online it doesn't work but if I try them on a emulator and a US version rom of TGL they work just fine. Do any of you know where to find codes for the PAL version of GameGenie and nes games in general and TGL in particularly?

I don't know. But if the EU codes are different, it would be harder to find them, because on emulation JP and US versions are common.

I believe the US and PAL versions of the game have memory in the rom configured differently, like the entire rom is shifted by a few bytes. Therefore, game genie's code will not work in the same manner. All the address are increased by two if I remember correctly. Also, I definitely agree about the box art being superior in EU. Nice to see someone from Denmark investing interest in TGL, I have some family there (but I do not speak the language).

Thanks for the response guys. Yeah we have a hole little sub culture of retro gaming going on in these parts  . It's never been better to be a (retro)gamer. And TGL is a cult favourite and it was a game I got as a present from my granma (she thought the box art looked cool, she's an old sci-fi feminist) so there is a LOT of good memories attached to the game. And it's one of those games that still holds up to this day. I take it for a spin at least once a year and it doesn't get old.

while it is true that codes are different in different regions there should be ways to find the european codes by emulating a european rom. you just need to find an emulator that can find out what the codes are.
