I found an infinite energy code for Spiderman vs The Kingpin (Sega CD), but when I add it to the cheat box (which is unfortunately the same old Game Genie Gens cheat box), it doesn't do anything. I've heard that for sega emulators one has to change the first two characters of a code sometimes, but to what? Here's the code I found: 0009C929 40 The emu says the format for patch codes is XXXXXX:YYYYY, so the code should be 0009C9:2940 then? I did that and it didn't work. Anyone know what I should do?

I tried that too and several other combinations. It doesn't work. I think RAM codes are disabled, because when you do a search, the button to "add code" is disabled. I had to manually enter it and the code didn't work either.

Just to make sure: you typed the code in the box in the form ventuz said, clicked "Add code" button, selected it in the list to activate it then clicked OK and it didn't work?

You could be: 1: Trying enter "ROM" address into "RAM" cheat code.. or other way around, "RAM" address into "ROM" cheat code. It obviously don't work that way, it need to be same, I've no idea where did you find code from. 2. Game you're using may have multiple version "v1.0", "v1.1", "v1.2".. etc.. some of them have different address offset. For example, cheat code made for 1.1 sometime won't work for v1.0 and v1.2. 3. Doing something wrong on entering code in emu.

marzojr: Yes. I found the code myself (and several other codes), I added them in several ways and made sure they were highlighted before pressing OK. I've done it before, I'm not a newbie at it :) ventuz: 1) Like I said, I found the code myself. I'm a semi-experienced code hacker. However, Genesis emulators, for some reason, have always had crappy add-cheat dialogs and search engines. This Gens version modified by the Tasvideos team was taken in a good direction by adding a great cheat search engine. But the add-cheat dialog is still horrible. 2) Yes, I am aware. But I made this code (and several other ones) myself, so it should work on the version I personally made it for, right? 3) I doubt it. Like I said above, when you do a search, the button to "add code" is disabled. So I guess they didn't mean for the codes to be used yet before the emulator was discontinued 2 years ago. At least not Sega CD codes. Anyway, thanks for the help guys, but apparently codes are disabled for Sega CD games and there's nothing one can do unless the emulator gets a new update down the road. I checked the Gens Rerecording google project page and I'm not the only reporting the same problem.
