Explanation of what a code type is, and what they're used for here..
'''Code Types''' are used by [[Game Enhancer]]'s to determine how to use/execute codes. They also allow users to add some degree of sophistication for the codes they make.


Types you will commonly see available for most Game Enhancers are 8-bit/16-bit/32-bit Writes, Conditional types (If - Equal To, Greater Than, Less Than, etc.) and Master Codes.

Some devices don't have any Code Types at all, and just perform a preset bit write to the address you define. Such devices are the older models of the Pro Action Replay for [[Pro_Action_Replay_(SNES)|Super Nintendo]] and [[Pro_Action_Replay_(Genesis)|Sega Genesis]].

Code Types are used by Game Enhancer's to determine how to use/execute codes. They also allow users to add some degree of sophistication for the codes they make.

Types you will commonly see available for most Game Enhancers are 8-bit/16-bit/32-bit Writes, Conditional types (If - Equal To, Greater Than, Less Than, etc.) and Master Codes.

Some devices don't have any Code Types at all, and just perform a preset bit write to the address you define. Such devices are the older models of the Pro Action Replay for Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis.
