What Is the FAQs Section on CheatMSX and What Can You Find There?

Updated

CheatMSX (cheatmsx.com) is an MSX gaming resource that collects cheats, maps, manuals, walkthroughs, password generators, and emulator cheats in one place. Its FAQ-style help content is not a single standalone "FAQ" page; instead, answers to common MSX gaming questions are spread across the site's resource sections and its community areas (Forum, Contact, About us). If you are looking for a specific answer, the fastest route is usually the matching resource category rather than a general FAQ list.

How the site is organized

The main navigation and statistics give a clear picture of what exists on CheatMSX:

Resource type Count shown on site Typical question it answers
Cheats 187 "Is there a cheat code for this MSX game?"
Emulator Cheats 364 "How do I use cheats inside an MSX emulator?"
Maps 415 "Where do I go next in this game?"
Walkthroughs 47 "How do I finish this game step by step?"
Manuals 196 "What does this item or command do?"
Online Password Generators 5 "How do I get past a password screen?"
Peeks & Pokes 7 "What memory address changes this behavior?"
IPS Patches 59 "Is there a fan translation or fix patch?"

Titles are browsable alphabetically (A–Z and 0–9) or through "Show all titles."

Where FAQ-type answers actually live

Because there is no dedicated FAQ menu item in the main navigation, treat these sections as the practical FAQ:

  • Cheats and Emulator Cheats — the most common "how do I get past this" questions.
  • Online Password Generators — answers to password-protected game stages.
  • Manuals — official documentation, useful when a question is about controls or mechanics rather than cheats.
  • Walkthroughs — longer answers that a short FAQ entry could not cover.
  • Forum — for questions not covered by any existing entry.
  • About us / Contact — for site-level questions rather than game-level ones.

Finding an answer step by step

  1. Identify what kind of question you have (cheat, password, map, manual, patch).
  2. Pick the matching section from the list above.
  3. Use the alphabetical index (A–Z, 0–9) or "Show all titles" to locate the game.
  4. Open the entry and check whether it covers your platform or emulator.
  5. If nothing matches, post in the Forum.

Expected result: you either land on a specific entry for your game, or you confirm the site has no entry and the Forum is the next step.
