How to use cheats in GTA Vice City Stories

To use cheats in GTA Vice City Stories on PSP and PS2, you simply need to input a string of buttons whenever you’re playing the game. You do not need to pause the game to enter a cheat code.

Before you apply any cheat in Vice City Stories, however, we recommend you save the game first. Various cheat codes can’t be disabled once enabled, so you will need to save right before you use any, just to be safe.

Once you have successfully entered a cheat code, a message will pop up on the top of the screen reading ‘Cheat activated’.

With all of that in mind, it’s time to activate some cheats in Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories and have some fun.
