Using the Master Systems Pro Action Replay on The Lucky Dime Caper Starring Donald Duck
The first thing I did was find a cheat code I liked for the game and I normally use this great website below to find my 8 digit cheat codes.

However before that some interesting features of this cheat cartridge:
1) You can use an in-game trainer to find cheat codes for your Master System video games.
However, this is when it gets complicated so here's are the steps to getting this cheat cartridge to work.
1: Keep the left switch in the middle position and turn the Master System on as normal, when you get to the video games title screen put the left-hand silver switch in the down position and press the pause button on the console not the power off or the reset button
2: A black screen will pop up with pro action replay main menu details will appear then click the down button then press the 2 button on the words Exit to Parameter Screen and you will be taken to the 8 digit code screen.
3: Once the 8 digit code of letters and numbers has been entered by pressing the 1 & 2 buttons then pressing the right button to get to the next code box. Once the 8 digit code has been entered press the down button till you get to the end and it will take you back to the Pro Action Replay Main Menu.
(Sometimes the middle silver switch has to be placed in the middle position at this point which you only seem to have to do with the Master System Console 2 otherwise when you press the 2 button on the restart option it takes you back to the pro action replay main menu)
4: At this point press the 2 button on the word return to game and you are given 2 options fast or slow restart. I prefer the slow restart option but either should work fine. Then when you are at the video games title screen move the silver left screen to the very top and the cheat will be activated. If the cheat code does not work the game will normally freeze.
Hopefully, after viewing this clip it will convince you to buy the Pro Action Replay on the Master System.
Also, here's a link showing that instead of a game list for this cheat device you enter cheats manually:
