Vice City Stories


The time has finally arrived. After thousands of GTA gamers waited in silence after yesterdays 'It's coming' post, cheat device">Edison Carter has gone all out and released the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories Cheat Device for PSP (thanks for the tip Clordio!). The GTA Vice City Stories cheat device helps you along the way in cheating your game, and according to Edison, this version also includes all of the Cheat Maker except for construction mode, with a few of the in-built cheats enabled. This cheat device comes as a PRX install for all DevHook users. All you have to do is run the installer (thanks to ADePSP) and you're off. Please note that it is also possible to flash this to Dark_Alex SE firmwares, although this is not recommended and you will have to figure out how to do so yourself.

So what does the GTA VCS Cheat Device version 2.0 feature? Lets take a look:
  • Step Through Walls
  • Power Jump
  • Screenshot
  • Video Recorder
  • Step Up/Down
  • Inf Health & Armor
  • Set Time
  • Vehicle Spawns*
Please note that with vehicle Spawns, a lot of the vehicle numbers will crash. When you get into objects like "cellphone", you know it'll crash if you try to spawn that. But a list of what works and what crashes on this new cheat device should be available soon. Here are a few things that Edison Carter said that you should be aware of before you grab the download:

IMPORTANT NOTE: After installing, wait at least 30 seconds before turning off USB or pulling out your memory stick. The PC caches your changes and doesn't write them out until a while later. If your memory card gets corrupt, use chkdsk /f X:. I advise against saving your game after using cheats. Please note that when you spawn vehicles, you are using a game cheat that will lower your criminal rating!

If you don't like using this cheat device and would rather enter cheat codes manually or don't use Devhook then check out the full button input cheats list here. Have fun cheatin'!


UPDATE: The hard working Edison Carter has released a new version of the VCS Cheat Device, updating it to version 2.0a today. This update adds the ability to teleport to 25 locations, with far more to come in future. As soon as Edison gets all the missions sorted out you can expect the teleportation range to grow, as the east island is a little scarce at the moment. Find the updated download below! (BTW, thanks Hit for the heads up!)

edit

in the cheat device once you load up VCS on the psp. Then you can go anywhere. Turn on the view co-ordinates to make your own list. I just though peeps would like a werking heli to fly in.

by - 2006-11-04 12:44:18
df

This happend to me also, make sure you only put the "ms0:dh/kd/vcsCheatdevice.prx pr whatever in the GAMEcfg file not the regular one in the kd folder of the flash
by - 2006-11-04 12:51:48
.........Yo

I hope allot of you actually bought VSC, and aren't just freeloading. The psp's homebrew scene is definitely awesome probably one of the best, but using it to leech will not only kill the scene but the psp itself. Then that DS fanboy would have something to talk about... lets not do that... lets not give him, and all the other fanboys that chance. *starts a slow clap* anyone? lol No but seriously at some point do buy the game. Help keep the psp alive, and kicking.
by - 2006-11-04 12:57:34
Opps VCS not VSC

Hahaha I caught that I caught that. Had to before someone came along pause, looks at it, and goes WTF is VSC?
