I would like to thank the Developers for porting the 3,500 Cheat Code version of SNES9x to v1.53
While I don't do cheats on SimCity for all those property squares, I do use more than 150 cheats for three "junior" Strategy Games:
-Liberty or Death. Each Officer has a few exploitable values, including Training Level, Armaments Level, Reputation, Body (energy), and Rank. Each side has about 130-150 officers. Just one code per officer puts me at or over the limit, and this doesn't get into Congress/House of Commons, where support from each Representative is important to not get fired. That's another 20 codes. Then, there's the general cheats, like Money, Powder and Food for each district, each district's Approval Rating towards the player (increases tax income), the health of each of the six player Naval Fleets, and so on. This can be hundreds of codes - I tend only to use about 1 per officer, 1 per Representative, and then perhaps a couple more. That's still over 170 codes. This is my biggest code hog, and the #1 reason I've sought out a SNES9x that had a larger possible code list.
-PTO: Pacific Theater of Operations. Again, each Officer has codes, but in this case, it's four codes per officer dictating their performance in battle. In addition, there can be up to 12 stat codes per ship, and each side has 125 ships. This isn't getting into things like budget, national tech levels and armament reserves, etc. Despite just using a few codes (buffing a few officers, force-editing the stats on a few ships, etc.), I did find myself running out of code space.
-Operation Europe. Each officer has six stats, then individual units have stats that call up unit type, force strength, etc. After that, you need codes for reserve supplies, available transport planes, etc. Again, I can go over 150 pretty easily.
I'm sure there are other Strategy Games that could exceed 150 codes, SimCity was already discussed, and if you really tried at it, I'm sure Final Fantasy 4, 5, and 6 (4 = Final Fantasy II SNES, 6 = Final Fantasy III SNES), and perhaps a few other RPG's.
Again, my sincerest thanks to the Dev(s) that made this possible.
For anyone looking for the SNES9x 1.53 3,500 code variant, the SNES9x team updated their website some time before this post was made, and relocated the URL. This URL will lead to the "tmp" folder on their new website.

snes9x_3500_cheats.zip is based on SNES9x 1.51
snes9x_3500_testbuild.zip is the one based on SNES9x 1.53
I have no idea what the others are.
