The Game Genie Explained

Ever wonder how the Game Genie was able to perform its magic? It's all explained right here. Correction: At 7:40 the 68000 is referred to as a Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) architecture, but it really should still be considered Complex (CISC). Its architecture is very similar to MIPS which /is/ a RISC system, but the 68000's instructions are still more specialized and can be a variable length. The idea of substituting in 16 bits at a time is still valid though since the instructions tend to be much longer than that of the other systems'. You can take a look at the 68000's instruction set here if you are curious: http://www.nxp.com/docs/en/reference-manual/M68000PRM.pdf LINKS Twitter (updates): https://twitter.com/RetroGameMechEx Patreon (support): https://www.patreon.com/rgmechex Discord (discussion): https://discord.me/rgmechex PATRONS Thank you everyone for your help!
