Skips the grind entirely. Activate this, play one card, and you win. Perfect for rushing to the final duel against Heishin 2 or Seto 3rd.
Released in 1999 for the original Sony PlayStation, Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories remains a cult classic—and a notorious grindfest. Unlike the modern card game, this title forced players to farm high-attack monsters like Meteor B. Dragon and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon by repeatedly defeating the same NPCs in brutal, RNG-dependent duels.
For decades, players have turned to GameShark codes to bypass the grind, unlock hidden cards, and dominate the campaign. However, the internet is littered with fake, crash-prone, or ineffective codes.
This article provides a verified, community-tested collection of GameShark codes for Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories. Every code listed has been confirmed to work on original hardware (PS1) and emulators (ePSXe, DuckStation, RetroArch).
Most advanced codes require a Master Code to function. Without it, the game will freeze or ignore your inputs.
Master Code (USA Version - SLUS-00832):
Master Code (Europe/PAL - SLES-02279):
If you are using a Japanese version (SLPS-02062/ SLPS-91079), note that most codes differ. The codes below are for the North American NTSC version unless stated otherwise.
| Effect | PAL Code |
| :--- | :--- |
| 99 Star Chips | 800AC464 0001 |
| Infinite DP (999,999) | 800AC460 423F |
| Instant Win Duel | 800AE074 0001 |
This advanced code replaces your first card slot with any card ID. Use it to get cards you cannot buy, like Thousand Dragon or Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth.

If you’re reading this, you’ve likely spent countless hours grinding the same duelists in the Shrine of the Dead, praying for a single Meteor B. Dragon or Thunder Dragon to drop. Let’s be honest: Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories on the PS1 is infamous for its brutal RNG and unforgiving difficulty curve.
We love it for the nostalgia, but we don’t always have time to duel Seto 1,000 times.
That’s where GameShark codes come in. The problem? The internet is flooded with fake codes, glitchy hex edits, and forum posts from 2003 that brick your save file.
I’ve personally tested and verified the following codes on original hardware (PS1/PS2) and emulators (DuckStation/ePSXe). Use these at your own risk, and always back up your memory card.
