The rise of emulation (RetroArch, Dolphin, PPSSPP, MAME) has been a massive driver of traffic to . Emulators have built-in cheat engines, but they need code values. GH provides the raw data.

The site is particularly notable for its documentation of historical cheating hardware. For instance, GameHacking.org has hosted in-depth interviews with the original developers of the Game Genie, the famous device that Nintendo famously tried to block in court. By archiving these stories and the specific codes used by such devices, the platform ensures that the "right to modify" remains part of gaming’s historical record.

Older devices like the Game Genie could not write directly to RAM. Instead, they intercepted memory requests sent from the console's CPU to the game cartridge's ROM. When the console tried to read a specific byte of game code, the cheat hardware intercepted the call and served an altered byte instead. This allowed hackers to change structural game rules, jump physics, or item drop rates permanently. Preserving Video Game History The rise of emulation (RetroArch, Dolphin, PPSSPP, MAME)

(often abbreviated as GH.org) is a website dedicated to cataloging, sharing, and discussing cheats, codes, and modification tools for video games across virtually every platform.
