Is anyone here familiar with gamehacking.org?

I found the site today and I'm wondering how exactly it works, since I'm still too much of a scrub to understand. Is it like romhacking.net in that you can download patches to play on your computer, or consoles like a Wii?

Like with this one, it seems you select a bunch of features or cheats then download the xml file. But I don't even know what an xml type file is.

Gamehacking.org is mainly a cheat code repository, not so much "patches", for things like Gameshark or Action Replays or for emulator's built-in cheat support (which also usually includes support for Gameshark/Action replay stuff)

The file you downloaded is likely for an emulator, that you can load while playing XYZ game you're emulating so you can activate cheats.

The only thing that now works on that site is the database. The registration has been disabled, as well as logging into the the main site.

I wonder why they locked it down like that.
