PC & MAC
Entering codes on PC and Mac are different since instead of using the cheat gnome you put in a combination of keys to display the cheat console. You enter the codes in the console to active their effect. To open the cheat console press CTRL + SHIFT+ C, on macs the control key is instead the command key but it does the exact same thing.
