GTA Liberty City Stories Cheats
Liberty City Stories cheats are button sequences, and PSP and PS2 each get their own table.
iOS and Android: why no codes are listed
On iOS and Android there is no touch-screen cheat input, so cheats need a controller (on Android, a virtual gamepad app also works). This page lists no codes for these versions.
Before you use cheats
Some cheats cannot be turned off, so save your game before you try cheats. Keep a separate save made without cheats.
PlayStation
On PlayStation 2, enter the button sequence during gameplay, not while paused. No menu is needed.

PSP and PS2 differences
Each version has its own table, so use the one for the console you play on. The PSP has only L and R shoulder buttons, so the PSP table uses L and R where the PS2 table uses L1 and R1. Apart from that, cheats listed in both tables use the same sequence.
One code is listed in the PSP table only: the one that turns the screen the right way up again.
With perfect traction on, press Down on PSP to make your car hop.
How do you enter cheats in GTA Liberty City Stories?
On PSP and PS2, enter the button sequence during gameplay, not while paused. No menu is needed.
Is there a money cheat in Liberty City Stories?
Yes. Both the PSP and PS2 tables list a code that gives you $250,000.
Are the PSP and PS2 cheats the same in Liberty City Stories?
Mostly. Cheats listed in both tables use the same sequence, with L and R on PSP where PS2 uses L1 and R1. The code that turns the screen the right way up again is in the PSP table only, so use the table for your own platform.
Can you use cheats in Liberty City Stories on iOS or Android?
Only with a controller: a Bluetooth gamepad, or on Android a virtual gamepad app. The iOS and Android versions have no touch-screen cheat input, and this page lists no codes for them.
