The phrase refers to obtaining cheat files specifically designed for use with software that mimics the hardware of the Sega Genesis (also known as the Mega Drive) video game console. These files, typically possessing a “.cht” extension, contain codes that modify the game’s programming, allowing players to gain advantages such as invincibility, unlimited resources, or access to hidden levels. As an illustration, a person might seek to acquire a file containing codes to make Sonic the Hedgehog invincible.
The availability of these files provides enhanced accessibility and enjoyment for users. They can offer a means to overcome challenging sections of games, experiment with different gameplay scenarios, or simply experience the games in novel ways. Historically, the creation and distribution of these types of files have been driven by a community of enthusiasts dedicated to reverse engineering and modifying classic video games.
