Unlike its competitors (CheatCC, SuperCheats, or the now-defunct GSCentral), GH was founded by hardcore reverse engineers—people who used debuggers to find memory addresses themselves. They weren't stealing codes from magazines; they were cracking open the ROMs with tools like and Cheat Engine .
The site renders perfectly on mobile browsers due to its minimalist CSS.
Why this works: You are freezing the memory address 80097FA4 to the value 270F (9999 HP). The game is trying to subtract damage, but you are writing the max value back to RAM 60 times per second.
