PSP/PS Vita Release: CheatDevice Remastered (GTA LCS and VC Trainer) by Freakler

admin

Now this is a project crafted with love if I’ve ever seen one! Developer Freakler has release CheatDevice Remastered, a trainer and cheat engine for GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City Stories on the PSP/PS Vita, which is an entire remake of the original CheatDevice, initially released more than 15 years ago for the PSP.

And while Rockstar would love you to shell 60 bucks for their remaster of a 15 year old game while they sue fans of the game, it’s fanmade mods like this one that have kept the game alive for so long. Don’t fall prey for the cashgrab, and instead play your old games 😉

From Freakler:

As a child I loved playing with the CheatDevice and seeing this menu loaded via a simple savefile was like dark magic to me.. So I swore myself to understand and learn how to achieve this myself someday. Over the last years I worked on this little project whenever I had some freetime on & off. I am surely no expert in C or reverse engineering but this project helped and I learned a lot. I never intended to release this initially but why keep it for myself. I bet one or two nostalgic oldtimers might have some fun with this just like me.

This certainly brings back memories. GTA LCS has a strong history on the PSP, also being one of the first games used to exploit the console back in the days. (unrelated to this release but it holds a special place in my heart).

Download and install CheatDevice Remastered

You can download CheatDevice Remastered from the official page here.

Although CheatDevice Remastered should work on all PSP/Vita models, Freakler recommends the following configuration: Vita OLED model + Adrenaline eCFW + GTA Remastered prx + GTANativeRes prx + High Memory Layout + 333mhz Game clock + 60 FPS Cheat

Installation

  1. Copy the “cheatdevice_remastered.prx” file inside “ms0:/seplugins” folder on your PSP
  2. Edit “ms0:/seplugins/GAME.TXT” file (create it if not already there) and add the line “ms0:/seplugins/cheatdevice_remastered.prx 1”
    If you are using the native resolution patch by TheFloW make sure to load the CheatDevice first by placeing “gta_native.prx” line AFTER this one!
  3. In the VSH-menu enable 333Mhz in Game-mode for a smoother experience.
  4. Optional: If you want object/ped names etc translations for editors copy both “cheatdevice_names_lcs.ini” & “cheatdevice_names_vcs.ini” next to the prx.
