Cheat Codes For Contra On The Game Genie

Cht files and the game genie rom are handled separately. This means you can use the game genie rom and turn on the game genie option and when you start the game, you will be allowed to enter 3 codes just like back in 1988. Using the.cht file, you can pause a game and enter a cheat menu with a bunch of premade cheats that you can turn on and off.

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
