So You Wanna Fly a Car in GTA Vice City on PPSSPP, Huh? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
Cruising Vice City is cool. However, have you looked up and thought of taking your car to the skies? You’re in luck! Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on PPSSPP lets you defy physics and fly your vehicle. Cheats can help with that. Who needs gravity when chaos awaits?
Taking to the Skies: Flying Cars in Vice City
You want to fly a car. It is a simple goal. Thankfully, Vice City has a cheat code for this. No mods or glitches are needed, just pure airborne автомобили (Russian for cars).
Cheat Code for Flying Cars – Your Wings to Freedom
Do you want your wheels to feel like they can fly? Here’s the magic cheat for gameplay:
Flying Cars Cheat: RIGHT, R2, CIRCLE, R1, L2, DOWN, L1, R1
Memorize this cheat. This is your ticket to escape traffic jams and change your Vice City view. Remember, this is for the original PlayStation controls and transfers well to most emulators.
Now, if you’re on the Nintendo Switch Definitive Edition, things differ. Here’s your Switch code:
Flying Vehicles (Switch): X, A, X, UP, LEFT, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
Yes, there are many “downs.” Clearly, they wanted to stress “down” before you defy it.
Flying Boats? Why Not!
Flying cars are cool, but what if you want something nautical? Vice City includes a cheat to fly boats. Boats don’t belong only in water. Here’s how to get airborne on water:
Flying Boats Cheat: R2, CIRCLE, ↑, L1, →, R1, →, ↑, Square, Triangle
Just picture digital citizens’ faces as you steer your boat over buildings. Priceless!
The Dodo Plane: Your (Slightly Less Cheaty) Winged Option
If you prefer something more legit, try the Dodo plane. It exists in the game, and you can spawn it with a cheat code. It is your less-cheaty way to fly.
Dodo Plane Cheat: FLYINGWAYS
This code spawns a Dodo plane. The Dodo is not a fighter jet. But it does fly! With enough speed and luck, you can take off and “fly” in Vice City without needing the car cheat. Use it as your training wheels for aerial chaos.
Cheat Like a Pro: General Cheats in GTA Vice City on PPSSPP
If you’re diving into PPSSPP to relive or explore Vice City, good choice! PPSSPP excels at bringing PSP classics to modern devices and supports cheats. After all, what’s a GTA game without breaking some rules?
Cheating 101 on PPSSPP: A Step-by-Step Guide
Using cheats on PPSSPP is quite easy. Here’s the breakdown:
- Enable Cheats in PPSSPP Settings: First, inform PPSSPP you won’t play by the rules. In the settings menu, find “System” or “Cheats” and enable “Cheats.” This is your “permission to party” switch.
- Access the Cheat Menu: Want to use cheats in-game? You have options:
- From the Game Info Screen: Select the game in PPSSPP. Hold down on the game icon to bring up a menu that includes “Cheats.”
- From the Pause Menu: If you’re already in the game, pause it (hit “Escape” or “Menu”). Search the pause menu for a “Cheats” option.
- Importing or Editing Cheat Files: Here it gets a bit technical but still easier than parking in Vice City traffic.
- Importing Cheat Databases: To import a cheat database, choose the “Import” option in the cheat menu. You’ll need a cheat database file usually named “cheat.db.” After importing it, PPSSPP loads all available cheats for your game.
- Editing Cheat Files Manually: For those who want a hands-on approach (or specific cheats), edit cheat files directly. Choose “Edit Cheat File” to open a text editor. You can add or modify cheat codes here. Save changes and return to the cheat menu to activate them.
- Enable Your Cheats and Go Wild: Once you’ve imported or edited cheat files, see a list of cheats in the menu. Select which ones to use. Some cheats may need a game restart for full effect.
Important Cheat Notes: Read This, Seriously!
- CWcheat Format is King: PPSSPP favors the CWcheat format. Keep this in mind when seeking cheat databases or codes.
- Emulation Isn’t Perfect: Not every PSP cheat works perfectly on PPSSPP. Emulation is great, but it isn’t flawless. Some cheats could be buggy or completely nonfunctional.
- Cheat with Caution: A warning—some cheats may break the game. They can ruin save files or create glitches. Save often and do not overly rely on cheats if you want to progress.

Flying Vehicles: More Than Cheats

Flying Vehicles (General Cheat): Triangle, Circle, Triangle, ↑, ←, ↓, ↓, ↓, ↓
Helicopter Control 101: Easy to Learn
Piloting helicopters isn’t hard. Here’s the control breakdown:

Mastering helicopter flight makes Vice City your playground.
Boating Basics: Not Just for Fun

Bonus Cheat Round: Relationships and Resilience
Vice City has other cheats worth discovering. Let’s explore some social cheats and the money myth.
Girlfriend Getter (Sort of)
Want to be popular? There’s a cheat for that.
Girlfriend Cheat (Like “Everyone’s a Fan”): FANNYMAGNET
This code makes everyone in Vice City notice you. Girlfriends or not, attention is attention!
Almost Invincible?
Want Tommy tougher? There’s a cheat for that totalling armor and health.

This cheat maxes out armor and health. It’s not full invincibility, but hard to kill!
The Money Cheat Myth (Spoiler: It Doesn’t Exist)
A common question: any cheat for instant cash? Sadly, no. Unlike some GTA games, Vice City lacks a money cheat. You must earn cash through missions and other activities.
No worries! With health cheats and vehicle cheats, you can make earning money easier. Consider it “cheat-assisted capitalism.”
PPSSPP Features: More Than Cheats
PPSSPP is not just for cheats; it enhances your PSP experience.
Packed with Tricks
Check out some awesome PPSSPP features:
- Save States: Rewind after a rough crash or mission gone bad? Save states help you save at any time.
- Dynamic Recompilation (JIT): This makes games run smoother on your device. PPSSPP optimizes performance.
- Ad Hoc Networking: Want PSP multiplayer? It supports basic wireless connections for classic multiplayer gaming.
PS2 Games on PPSSPP? Not Exactly…
A common concern: Can PPSSPP run PS2 games? Mostly no. It’s meant for PSP games. PS2 games need different hardware. Some basic PS2 games might run. But don’t expect to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas anytime soon on PPSSPP. Use a dedicated PS2 emulator instead.
FAQ: Vice City Questions Answered
Have questions about Vice City? Let’s tackle common inquiries.
Mission Skipping? Not in This City
Stuck on a mission? Wish you could skip it? Not possible here. Vice City doesn’t offer mission-skipping cheats. You must learn the mission and power through. Think of it as character building for Tommy Vercetti.
Side missions are optional. You can ditch those if they’re bothersome.
Becoming a Cop? Not Without Mods
Ever wanted to trade crime for a badge? Unfortunately, you cannot become a cop in Vice City without mods. The game has no mechanics for joining the police.
If on PC and interested in mods, some exist for police roleplay. In the standard game, Tommy remains on the other side of the law.
Stunt Jumps: For Thrill-Seekers
Loves launching cars off ramps? Vice City has stunt jumps throughout. Completing them earns cash and notoriety. So, if you aim for 100% completion, find those ramps.
Property and Car Purchases: Build Your Empire
Want to feel like a Vice City mogul? Buying property helps. As you progress, unlock properties around the city. They act as safehouses or can generate income.
You can buy cars too! Sunshine Autos becomes available after a mission unlocks car import missions.
The Fastest Cars in Vice City: Assemble!
Curious about the speediest cars? Here are the fastest rides:
- Infernus (240kmph):The undisputed king of speed.
- Cheetah (230kmph): A close second, still fast.
- Hotring Racer (220kmph): Street cruising speed.
- Pheonix & Banshee (200kmph): Tied for fourth place.
Your guide to flying cars and cheats ends here. Go forth and enjoy Vice City with chaos!
