GTA Chinatown Wars Cheats
DS and PSP cheats are button sequences, and iOS and Android cheats are whiteboard words. DS, PSP and mobile each get a table.
Before you use cheats
On PSP, entering a cheat code turns off autosave, so save your game yourself.

DS, PSP and mobile differences
DS and PSP cheats are button sequences, and each console uses its own buttons, so use the table for the console you play on. iOS and Android cheats use no buttons: you spell each word with the letters on the safehouse whiteboard, and the cheat's name appears at the bottom of the screen.
The iOS and Android table lists codes the DS and PSP tables do not: $10,000 cash, clock codes, stormy weather and drug dealer locations. The DS and PSP tables list weather codes the mobile table does not, such as sunny, cloudy and rain. The PSP table lists no code to lower your wanted level and no fog code.
How do you enter cheats in GTA Chinatown Wars?
On DS and PSP, enter the button sequence during normal gameplay, without pausing. On iOS and Android, go to the Mission Replay Board on the far right of any safehouse and rearrange the whiteboard letters to spell the word. The cheat's name appears at the bottom of the screen.
Is there a money cheat in Chinatown Wars?
Yes, on iOS and Android: that table lists a code that gives you $10,000. The DS and PSP tables list no money code.
Are the DS and PSP cheats the same in Chinatown Wars?
No. Each console uses its own buttons, so use the table for yours. The PSP table also lists fewer codes: it has no code to lower your wanted level and no fog code.
Does using cheats affect saving in Chinatown Wars?
On PSP, yes: entering a cheat code turns off autosave, so save your game yourself.
