minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoMy memory is pretty hazy but the cheat application emulated the process that teachers used to do a system reset. Iirc, it let you press menu, select reset, confirm, and showed the (fake) confirmation screen. Also IIRC, you had to install it from Mirage OS, which I don’t think was an OS (?) but rather an app that everyone had to play games from.
