'''Cheating devices''' are devices that are often used for cheating in video games, and various commercial cheating devices are advertised for this purpose.

Though some cheating devices are sold commercially, cheating devices for [[Nintendo]] consoles are neither licensed or endorsed by Nintendo, even though they are generally legal. Cheating devices may come with codes for certain games pre-installed, but the player may be able to enter their own codes found online or through hacking.

==Cheating devices with ''Legendary Starfy'' codes recognized by the manufacturer==
This is a list of cheating devices that have cheat codes for games in the [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''Legendary Starfy'']] series recognized by the manufacturer, such as [[wikipedia:Datel|Datel]]. Such codes may be pre-installed in the device.
