The very first thing you have to do to use cheats on your Wii is to properly prep the system to run custom software. First, Install Wii homebrew if you haven’t already. Install the homebrew application GeckoOS, which can launch a game with cheat codes enabled. (This function used to be performed with the Occarina application, but its functionality has been folded into GeckoOS.)

Put text code file(*.txt) in sd:/txtcodes. Run cheat manager, browse text code file and select it. Press activate code item or press deactivate code item. Press to generate GCT File which you activate code. Press Exit Cheat Manager. Start game with Gecko OS. Screen Shots.

Prepare Your Wii to Run Cheats

Choose a method for creating the GCT cheat files that GeckoOS needs. There are three choices:

1. Accio Hacks is a Wii homebrew application that allows you to download and manage cheats directly from your Wii. It has some limitations (it is still in beta) and sometimes fails to connect to the Gecko cheats database, but when it works it is the simplest approach.
2. Online GCT Creator can be accessed from the Gecko Codes website. It is more flexible than Accio Hacks but requires you to manually copy your cheat file to your SD card.
3. Gecko Cheat Code Manager is a PC application that lets you work with text files downloaded from the Gecko Codes website. It is the most flexible and powerful of the Wii cheat code managers but it is also the least convenient to use.

Locate Your Cheat File

You can locate cheats for your game either at the Gecko Codes website.

When looking for cheats you will often find multiple listings for the same game. This is because games released for different regions can have different cheats. Lists of game cheats will always include a game id, the fourth letter of which indicates the region code. “E” is for the U.S., “J” is for Japan, “P” is for Europe. “A” indicates a code will work for all regions, however, GeckoOS will not recognize game ids with the “A” code in them; you need to rename the file with the appropriate region letter. In some cases cheats will work for other regions; when stuck in Metroid: Other M you can only find a Japanese cheat file, but when it's changed the “J” to “E” it worked.

• To get cheats from the Gecko Codes website, navigate to your game title by choosing the first letter of the game and then selecting it from the list. Either click GCT to open the Online GCT Creator or click txt to download a text file that can be used offline.
• To get cheats using Accio Hacks you’ll need your Wii to be connected to the internet. At the main menu, highlight “Accio Hacks/Manage Codes” and press the A button. Navigate to the first letter of your game. You’ll see a “Channel Select” menu, where you can choose the format of the game you want (choices include Wii, WiiWare, VC Arcade, Wii Channels, GameCube, etc.). Highlight the channel you want and press A. Now choose the first letter of the game you are looking for and press A. Highlight “Accio Hacks” and press A. After the file is downloaded you will be returned to the game list. Press the B button to back out. You will now see your game’s cheat file listed. Highlight it and press A.

Create a GCT File: Select, Edit and Save Your Cheats

After finding the cheat file for your game, you need to select the particular cheats you want to be enabled (invincibility, increased speed, all weapons, etc.) and save them into a “GCT” file that can be read by Gecko OS. This can be done through Accio Cheats, the Online GCT Creator or the Gecko Cheat Code Manager. While the interfaces for each are different, the basics are the same.

You will have a list of cheats. Each cheat code is made up of sets of alphanumeric characters, for example, “205AF7C4 4182000C.” In some cases, some numbers will be strings of Xs which must be replaced with the appropriate alphanumeric string. Xs are used when there is more than one option; a comment in, above or below the cheat will tell you what values can replace the Xs.

The Online GCT Creator and the Gecko Cheat Code Manager both allow you to add more cheat codes.

The formula is SD:codesXLGAMEID.txt, with X indicating the channel letter (which can be seen in the Accio main menu after each selection) and L indicating the first letter of the game title.

Gecko Os Codes

Load the Cheat and Run the Game

Put the game disk in your Wii. Start Gecko OS. Choose Launch Game. At a certain point, GeckoOS will tell you it is looking for cheat codes for the disk’s game id. If it doesn’t find any, then you’ve done something wrong. In that case, check your SD’s /codes/ folder in WiiXplorer or with your PC and make sure you have a GCT file there with the appropriate game id (Gecko will briefly display the game’s id code before loading the game.

If GeckoOS does find the appropriate GCT file then it will load it automatically and you will be able to cheat to your heart’s content. If you want to stop cheating, exit the game, then either run it directly through the main Wii menu, turn off SD cheats in the GeckoOS config options, delete the cheat file from the SD:/codes/ folder, or simply re-edit the GCT file in the way you created it, but unselect all cheats and then overwrite the existing file.
