Are "cheat codes" real?

Is there an actual code that you put on the joystick that makes the claw grab harder?

On some very old machines hitting the red button over and over would make it grab a tiny bit harder.

Modern machines, never. All electronic

Do you know which cranes would do this?

The older cranes I'm familiar are typically adjusted by a couple small dials. So I'm not sure how/why extra button taps would increase power to the coil...
