Cheats with the snes9xgx emulator

2026 update: Snes9x GX was rewritten in 2026 (version 5.0.3); to install it and organise your games, follow our tutorial Emulators on Wii in 2026: Snes9x GX, Genesis Plus GX, WiiSX, Wii64 and ScummVM.

Hello,

I wanted to use the "cheats" function on the snes9xgx emulator and it doesn't seem to work.
For example, for the game Batman Returns, I searched for cheats on google, and I ended up on your site at this link:
hbwii/fichier-de-codes-cheats-pour-snes9x-gx-t6161.html
I took it and I realized it was US or JAP versions.
So I took the US rom of the game.
I copied the cheats folder to this location: sd:/snes9xgx/cheats
Then I renamed the rom's name to the name that appeared in the cheats folder.

I launch the game and I test it by setting "on" for infinite energy, as soon as an enemy touches me the game freezes and I have to go back to the emulator's home screen. When I set "on" for infinite life, the game freezes as soon as I lose a life. Basically as soon as a code kicks in, it crashes.

I also tested the game Terminator 2, the cheats don't change anything at all, it's as if they weren't there.

Would anyone have an idea please?
Is it possible to download cheat files for European games somewhere by chance?

It's possible your code is incompatible with the rom being used.

From memory, you can edit codes within the emulator but the wii version is less user-friendly than the PC version.

There are lots of sites offering codes (and not files) such as SNES 4 Ever

One last point, it's the cheat file that needs to be renamed, not the rom. That said, you can rename both. ;)
