Ghostbusters Video Game - Cheat Codes

Ghostbusters: The Video Game is fun, but cheats could make it even more fun...or easier in some spots. Thankfully, there are cheats for all versions of the game, except the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions.

TRAINERS (CHEAT PROGRAMS)
All files and info have been moved to this page.

The game does NOT have in-game cheats. The "cheats" listed in Settings.ini do not work. If you activate them by changing the 0 to a 1, the game will change it back. Red62 also experienced this, so I know that it wasn't a fluke on my system. So if you want to cheat on the PC, you'll have to use a Trainer. I've tested the +8 trainer with the Reloaded crack, and it works!

IN-GAME UNLOCKABLE CHEATS
There are cheats in the game, but you have to unlock them. Unfortunately, the good ones don't become unlocked until you've completed the game (or come close to it), so they're pretty much useless by that point. They are listed below in the order you're likely to unlock them through progression of the game.

• Increased Scanning Speed - Collect 50% of all scans.
• Faster Health Regeneration - Collect 50% of all art pages.
• No Equipment Overheat - Collect 100% of all scans.
• Equipment Strength Upgrade - Collect 100% of all art pages.
• Invulnerability - Achieve 100% completion (can replay levels to achieve this goal).
• Gozerian Rookie Outfit (Immune To Sliming) - Beat the last level on Gozerian (Hard) difficulty (can replay the last level on the increased difficulty to achieve this goal).

CHEAT DEVICE CODES
A cheat device is a device (much like a computer game trainer) that writes to areas in the memory of a system in order to allow for various user-desired actions. Sadly, the three major players in the cheat device scene (Codebreaker, Game Shark, Action Replay) have all quit supporting the PlayStation 2. So now it's up to the cheat device fans to pick up the slack and create the codes. Below are all of the known codes created for this game. In order to use these codes, you will need the CodeBreaker cheat device (I recommend v8 or higher). As the device is no longer in production, you'll probably have to pay some over-inflated prices on Amazon Marketplace (alt listing) and eBay, or do your own searching on the web or in the real world. The codes below are in unencrypted hexidecimal (hex) format (aka "Raw"), so technically they can be used by any PS2 cheat device that accepts unencrypted codes. However, the enable code will undoubtedly only work on the CodeBreaker, so enable codes for other devices would need to be created in order for you to use these codes with them. That's another reason why I recommend tracking down a Codebreaker. I have tested all of these codes using my Codebreaker v8 and confirm that they all work.

Please note that the effects of the first three codes will not stay on your game save when you save the game. The effects of all of the "unlock cheat" codes WILL save to your game save, thus allowing you to have the cheats permanently unlocked. The "unlock cheat" codes do not affect the collectibles, so you can still find pages and scan ghosts. Also, the "unlock cheat" codes will not turn the cheats on; you'll need to go into the Options: Unlocks menu to turn them on and off. The code for Gozerian Rookie Outfit doesn't show the name of it in the menu (it's the top item with "???" listed as a name) until you turn it on, exit to the previous menu (and save), then go back to the Unlocks menu. All of the "unlock cheat" codes have an alternate code that you can use (use only one for each code), though I tested both regular and alternates, and they all work the same.

A cheat device is a device (much like a computer game trainer) that writes to areas in the memory of a system in order to allow for various user-desired actions. In order to use these codes, you will need the cheat device that they are for. You can buy the Action Replay DS from the official Action Replay website, Amazon, eBay, or do your own searching on the web or in the real world. I have not tested these codes out as I would need to find a rom and DS emulator with AR code support in order to do so.
