Retro Game Codes Found on Almar's Guides
I'm creating this section so that there's no confusion about some of the information found on my website in the Retro Walkthroughs section. In particular, I am talking about many of the cheat codes that I list on this website. Unlike the guides found on this website, not all of the codes were personally "acquired" or "written" by me.
In some cases the codes are from different sources online that have them listed and I found them through researching the topic, all credit for hacking those codes should go to those original sources. I'm not claiming credit for ANY of the codes on this website, including the ones that I have figured out myself. The reason I am not claiming credit for my own codes and just mixing them in with other codes is because I don't mind if they're used some place else and no credit is given to me; I also think it's a silly thing to claim credit for.
The way I look at it is like this... When you do something as simple as changing a hex address in a game and making a Gameshark or CodeBreaker code out of it - you're not really creating something new. You're just changing the original authors work in a minor way. This isn't something that you should then pass off as your own work (as in claim credit for it). I'm actually not even sure if people will care that I have codes on this website and don't give credit to any of the "original authors" like other websites do, but I am putting this section in here just incase someone does.
With that said though, if you'd like to use/visit a website that does credit most of the hackers and has arguably more codes on their website than I do - check out Gamehacking.org.
