Cheat searching, also known as code searching, is a method of inputting cheat codes by looking at a game's data storage in main memory to determine which memory addresses are responsible for certain aspects of the game, such as the player's health or number of lives, and forces a constant value into it. This is typically employed on video game console emulators such as FCE Ultra, ZSNES, and VisualBoyAdvance, as an option to input cheat codes if GameShark or Action Replay codes are unavailable. There may be customized applications for use in other games.

Famous quotes containing the words cheat and/or searching:
“Now, we deny not, but that politicians may sometimes abuse religion, and make it serve for the promoting of their own private interests and designs; which yet they could not do so well neither, were the thing itself a mere cheat and figment of their own, and had no reality at all in nature, nor anything solid at the bottom of it.”
—Ralph J. Cudworth (1617–1688)
“A government deriving its energy from the will of the society, and operating, by the reason of its measures, on the understanding and interest of the society ... is the government for which philosophy has been searching and humanity been fighting from the most remote ages ... which it is the glory of America to have invented, and her unrivalled happiness to possess.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
