I Would Like To See A Zelda Cheat Console 2.50 Please
Zelda Classic has a built in Cheat Menu, but only on quests in which cheats are enabled. The person who makes the quest decides whether or not a player can use cheats and what passwords the player must use to unlock certain levels of cheats.

I think what is meant by cheat console is the tilde key opening a console at the top of the screen where the user can input commands.
While in the quest, hit the escape key to open up the pause menu. You will see three or four pull-downs, the furthest left will be 'File' and--if cheats are enabled--the furthest right will be 'Cheats'.
Select this pull-down and choose 'Enter Code'. The code is set by the quest creator and you will need to contact that quest creator privately for it. It is possible that they only allowed cheats for debugging purposes and they may not share with you because of the potential for the cheats to break your save file. It is also possible that, based on the age of the quest, the creator will no longer be available to answer your request.
If the 'Cheats' pull-down is not there when you press escape, the quest creator has disabled cheats and there is nothing you can do to change that.
What the user is likely referring to is either Zconsole or Zcheat, a program designed to crack the passwords of encoded quests. If so, then know that it isn't really endorsed by us, and kind of discouraged.
I've never heard of Zcheat but Zconsole was a debugging program, was it not? I don't remember it being used to break passwords. Then again back then passwords could probably be just grabbed from headers. In anycase I think the only way to get 2.5 passwords is with a brute force attack and there are plenty of programs that do that.
A program that exploits ZC and allows you to cheat without the consent of the quest maker is very possible. In fact, we just had a discussion about a video of someone doing this. While it is possible the majority of the ZC community are quest makers who want people to play their quests legitimately. If you want a zc cheat console you may have to request it elsewhere. Some members here and at PZC might not respond positively to something like that.
The last version of Zcheat I recall was for one of the 1.9 versions.
Yes, though the cheats are quest specific (Defined by the author of the quest, who can disable all cheats if they wish). Zcheat was indeed a real thing and did indeed allow you to modify password protected quests, but it is not condoned by anyone here or on PureZC. It is also only functional for the versions of Zelda Classic that it was designed for and can't be retroactively forward compatible with new versions of the Zelda Classic program.
