PSX CHEATS
BATTLE ARENA TOSHINDEN
Play as Gaia
Turn the game on and wait for the title screen to appear. While the words "1P GAME," "VS HUMAN," "VS COMPUTER" and "OPTIONS" are flying in from both sides of the screen, quickly press Down, Down/Left, Left + Square before all of the text appears. You'll hear "Fight!" and the small text on the title screen will change from blue to pink. (If you don't get it to register the first time, you must wait for the demo to begin or start a game and cancel to return to the title screen; the code won't work if you're returning to the title screen from the option menu.) At the fighter-select screen, highlight Eiji, hold Up on the D-pad and press any action button.
Play as Sho
Enter the Gaia code. Next, wait for the title screen to appear again as described above. this time, while the words are flying into the screen, press Right, Left, Right, Left + Square on Controller 2; You'll hear "Fight!" again and the text will change from pink to a greenish color. With that code in place, start a game. At the fighter-select screen, highlight Kayin, hold Down on the D-pad and press any action button. To choose the alternate-color version of Gaia or Sho, press Select before you hold the appropriate direction on the D-pad as describe while choosing each character.
Easy Desperation Moves
Visit the option menu and configure your controller so that the L and R buttons are set up to trigger "Special 1", "Special 2", "Special 3" and "Special 4"-setting A4 is a good example. Now you can trigger any character's desperation attack simply by pressing all four L and R buttons at exactly the same time whenever your energy is flashing red. Note that you only choose the "special" control settings when the game's difficulty is set at "Easy" or "Very Easy"...unless you use the "Easy Special Attacks etc." code listed below
Easy Super Moves
In addition to the desperation moves, each fighter in Toshinden also has up to three "Super" moves which are very difficult to execute, but can be used at any time during a match. Here's a list of "Super" attacks, all shown as if your character is facing the right:
Eiji: Up, Down, Up, Down, Right, Left, Right Left + Triangle + O
Kayin: Right, Down/Right, Down, Left, Down/Left, Left, Right, Left + O + X
Sofia (1): Right, Down/Right, Down, Down/Right, Right, Left, Down +Triangle + X
Sofia (2): Down/Right, Down, Down/Left, Down, Down/Right, Left, Right + Triangle + O
Rungo: Up/Right, Up, Up/Left, Left, Down/Left, Right, Left, Down + Triangle + O
Fo (1): Right, Up/Right, Up, Up/Left, Left, + Square + O
Fo (2): Right, Down/Right, Down, Down/Right, Right, Left, Down + Triangle + X
Fo (3): X, Square, Triangle, O, Left, Right, Left, Right + Triangle + O
Mondo: Right, Up/Right, Up, Up/Left, Left, Right, Down/Left, Down + Triangle + O
Duke: Down/Right, Down, Down/Left, Down, Down/Right, Down, Left, Right + Square + O
Ellis (1): Right, Up/Right, Up, Up/Left, Left + Square + O
Ellis (2): Down/Right, Down, Down/Left, Down, Down/Right, Left, Right, Down + Triangle + O
Gaia: Down/Right, Down, Down/Left, Down, Down/Right, Left, Right, Down + Triangle + O
Sho: Down, Right, Up/Right, Up, Up/Left, Left, Down + Triangle + X
The "Super" moves can be more trouble than they're worth, since they're so difficult to pull off. To make things easier, try this: First, enter both "Boss" codes to access Gaia and Sho as described above. With those codes in place, wait for the demo to begin again, then return to the title screen once more and press Down/Left + X on Controller 1 while the words are zooming in. You'll hear the words "Fantastic!" and the text will change to white. With this code in place, set the Control Type for all four "Specials" as describe in the "Easy Desperation Moves" code above. Now, at any time during the game, you can trigger one of your character's "Super" attacks simply by holding the Select button and pressing all four L and R buttons at exactly the same time.
Easy Special Attacks at Any Difficulty Setting
Once you've entered all three title-screen codes as explained above, wait for the demo to start and return to the title screen as before. While the words are zooming into the screen, press Right, Left, Right, Left + Square on Controller 2; you'll hear "Fantastic!" again and the text will change to yellow. With this code in place, you will be able to choose the "Special" Control Types-A3, A4, etc.-at any difficult setting, not just "Very Easy" and "Easy".
Camera Controls
Go to the options menu and choose any control type that has all four of the top buttons set to "NOT USE". Move down to the Camera Action setting; you'll find anew camera angle option called "Your Self." Choose it, and you'll gain access to eight new Control Type settings labeled A5 through to H5, with "Camera X" and "Camera Y" functions assigned to the L and R buttons on top of the controller. Choose one of the new Control Type settings and start the game. The top buttons function as follows:
L1: Rotate counter-clockwise
L2:Tilt backward
R1:Rotate clockwise
R2:Tilt forward
To access additional camera controls, press the Start button on Controller 1 to pause the game. While the "Pause" menu is on the screen, hold all four action buttons (X + Square + Triangle + O) and press Select once to make the pause menu disappear; press it again to remove the energy bars. (Note: You can use this trick at any time, even if you're not messing with the camera angles. To restore the "Pause" menu and energy bars, just pause the game, hold the four action buttons and press Select one more time.)
While the game is still paused with the Pause menu and energy bars removed, the controller has six new secret functions:
L1: Pan Left
L2: Pan Right
D-pad Up: Pan Up
D-pad Down: Pan Down
L2: Zoom in
R2: Zoom out
Pressing the Select button repeatedly on Controller 2 allows you to step through the character animation one "frame" at a time; holding it down will allow you to play the game in super slow-motion. Press Select on Controller 1 to toggle between the rotate/tilt camera controls and the pan/zoom controls.
