Editing 30/60 FPS cheat codes

These are cheat codes that alter the game's internal FPS. '''Internal FPS and output frame rate shouldn't be confused with each other, see [[Frames_per_second]] page for more information.'''

=60 FPS=
These are often game-specific and very prone to bugs considering many of the games weren't made with 60 FPS in mind. Notably, the walking speed and animations might play at double speed, which can cause some gameplay problems like for example making a mission impossible to beat in Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker because the enemies are too fast.

To be used with the [http://www.emulation64.com/files/info/944/1964-ultrafast.html/ 1964 Ultrafast], which includes CPU [[Overclocking]]. That alone can cause a speedup in a select few games like ''GoldenEye'', ''Perfect Dark'', ''Mario Kart 64'' (partially: MP, some stages), ''Carmageddon'', and ''San Francisco Rush'' games (partially: MP).

Some other games have 60 FPS patches or codes too. [http://forum.pj64-emu.com/showthread.php?t=5208 60fps cheats topic on pj64-emu.com]

===GameCube/Wii===
Needs [https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2015/02/07/game-modification-60-fps-hacks/ some versions of Dolphin]. The overclocking can increase the framerate of games with [[Vsync]], variable FPS, or slowdowns in the real console.

There was an option to overclock the GPU (Vbeam speed hack) to get 60fps in Pikmin 1 and 2, but it was removed by [[Dolphin]] team in recent builds.
The VBeam hack was axed by the devs over accuracy concerns and wanting 60 FPS hacks to run on real hardware or something. You'll have to track down those versions then.

* Super Mario Sunshine: 
This Gecko code is Region-Free which means it works with any version of the game, but it comes with some side effects. It makes cutscenes run very slowly on the North American version of the game, causes falling stars to appear in the top corners and top middle of the screen, and makes the blue/red coins in Gelato Beach near impossible to get. So it's better to use version specific codes listed underneath this one.

* Pikmin 2: You can use this Gecko code to get this game running at 60 FPS with an added side effect of breaking cut-scenes. Thankfully, the code allows you to switch back to 30 FPS at any time by using the D-Pad on your controller. A right-press on the D-pad toggles 60 FPS, while a left-press on the D-pad reverts back to 30 FPS.

You can swap the left and right presses by switching 0002 and 0001 in the code.

===Wii U===
Use [https://github.com/cemu-project/cemu_graphic_packs/releases these packs] for FPS++.

===Nintendo Switch===
60 FPS cheats can be used with Ryujinx and yuzu. Generally, cheats are more likely to work with Ryujinx as it has a more accurate filesystem implementation. Compared to other consoles, 60 FPS cheats for Nintendo Switch games have less issues than older consoles as game speed is less likely to be tied to framerate, especially for third-party games. Uncapping the framerate in yuzu or Ryujinx and limiting the game speed to 200% can also be used as an alternative for 60FPS for some games instead of using cheats.

A database of cheats can be found on [https://github.com/ChanseyIsTheBest/NX-60FPS-RES-GFX-Cheats/  GitHub]. Also [https://github.com/theboy181/switch-ptchtxt-mods Some games have specific 60FPS patches made by the theboy181].<br/>
Yuzu has a dedicated page named "[https://web.archive.org/web/20240228203620/https://yuzu-emu.org/wiki/switch-mods/ Switch Mods]" for 60FPS mods.

Also you can use [https://github.com/amakvana/SwitchEmuModDownloader SwitchEmuModDownloader] or [https://github.com/MaxLastBreath/TOTK-mods/releases TOTK Optimizer].

===PlayStation===
[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BoN2X_tebIfaqTFC_XUYuazPSY_fMrDUE7NI5psw0LE/edit#gid=0 PlayStation 60FPS Cheats datasheet]

With the help of DuckStation and Beetle PSX HW 's [[Overclocking#PlayStation|CPU and GTE overclock settings]], you should be able to hit a solid 60FPS in a lot of these titles.

===PlayStation Portable===
Some games offered the option in-game to increase the framerate on later PSP models, like notably all versions of Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, and Tales of Destiny 2 (all other Tales ports were downgraded to run at 30 FPS sadly).

A lot of PSP games have codes to increase their framerate almost without any negative effect for the majority (the ones that have bugs with 60 FPS are marked with "b"), and a CWCheat list can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20161125104116/http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=15223 here]. One example:

:Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep (Japan, US/PAL, Japan Final Mix)

:_L 0x21725EC8 0x00000000

===PlayStation 3===
There are multiple FPS and other patches created by community listed on [https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Help:Game_Patches the RPCS3 Official Wiki]. If one is not present, you can try modifying vblank frequency in settings. This works for most games but it's not recommended to go above 120hz (60fps) as physics may break if you go above, but this depends on what engine the game uses.

{{WIP|section}}
While this trick can somewhat detract from the experience in games that run natively at 60 FPS, it can be very useful for games emulated on underpowered devices, such as smartphones or old desktop computers.
