The Code Breaker is a device that allow custom cheat codes to be enabled in various console games that was developed by Pelican Accessories.

System availability

There are versions of the Code Breaker for the Sony PlayStation2, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS.

Compatibility

According to the Code Breaker product details, the PlayStation2 version of the device is fully backwards compatible with the original GameShark and Pro Action Replay codes. It also has the ability to use its own proprietary codes that allow cheat features not possible with those older systems.

Function

If you're familiar with the Game Genie or Action Replay cartridges used in the 8-bit or 16-bit video game systems, then you already understand the concept of the Code Breaker. As a game runs on a video game system, specific locations in the consoles RAM memory are used to hold important information, such as the number of lives remaining, shields, ammunition, current game level, etc. The Code Breaker is able to override the values in those memory locations, allowing the game to be played with unlimited lives, always full shields, unlimited ammunition, etc. You can also find more information on our Code Breaker forum.

This capability is a distinct advantage, especially in games that don't have built-in cheat codes. A large number of games can now be mastered by using internal codes from the device, or by entering custom codes found in magazines, 1-900 tip lines, or web sites such as this.
