The Game Genie is a runtime Game Enhancer and one Game Genie in the long line of Game Genie products distributed by Galoob. This particular version added a switch, which would toggle code effects on and off. The maximum amount of codes enterable was 5.
Unfortunately the Game Genie is missing the passthrough ports for the FX chip. This means that codes cannot be used on the official device. Cheats have been made but they will only work on emulators.
The Game Genie has problems with the SNS-101 remodel SNES. When using a SNS-101 only the top and bottom code lines can be used making for a total of two codes that can be used.
