Fireblade was a 2002 helicopter game. Versions of it were published for PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox.

There aren't any cheats reported for this game online, but I took a look at the game code and found level select codes for all three versions. I also found five additional cheat codes that are exclusive to the Xbox version – including one "MEGA CHEAT" that enables infinite ammo & turbo, invulnerability, and all levels!

Check out the Substack article for details on the codes and the reverse engineering involved in locating them.

Roadsters was released for Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and PlayStation. The cheat sites lists codes for the Nintendo 64 version, but not for the other two versions. What gives?

I checked the game data and found two additional cheat systems. On PlayStation, you can grant yourself lots of cash and unlock various cars. On Dreamcast there are codes for bonus vehicles, a free camera mode, and even a hidden game of Pong!

Details are in the post on Substack.

January 26th's article is about my new patch for Sonic R (1997, Sega Saturn), which:

• Gives you unlimited time to explore the game's five courses.

• Changes how each character controls in order to make exploration easier.

• Removes the racing elements from the game, allowing you to unlock the bonus elements at your leisure.

It's the Relaxed version of Sonic R. Check out:
