==Cheat codes==
 
Several systems supported by this emulator have cheat code support, including Mega-CD. [[Gens Hacking Version]] is capable of creating Mega-CD PAR codes but cannot use them. Using them has no effect in-game. Codes created on Gens Hacking Version can be used in this emulator. [[Gens/GS]] is a PC emulator that also supports Mega-CD cheat codes, but only for the main 68000 address space.
