6. Codes
All of these codes came from Game Winners (www.gamewinners.com).
I’ve tried to give credit to everyone who submitted a code. I
will not gaurentee that these codes will work, so if you have any
questions, ask Game Winners and not me.
Entering Cheat Mode:
Hold R1 + Circle before the "bird" logo loading screen appears.
A new black screen with the phrase "Now Loading" and bouncing CDs
in the background will confirm that cheat mode is active. If the
normal "bird" screen appears, then the code was not entered in
time. Each time a code is successfully entered, a small Namco
character will appear in the lower left corner.
999,999,000 credits:
Enter cheat mode and press Down, Circle, Triangle(3), Circle,
Triangle, Circle, Triangle, Circle+Triangle, then press and hold
Circle+Triangle again at the bouncing CD screen. Begin the game
and enter the fighter selection screen. The amount of credits
available will be set to the maximum.
Change plane's color:
Enter cheat mode and press Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left,
Right, then hold R1 at the bouncing CD screen. For two player
mode, replace the controller actions with Left, Right, Left,
Right, Down, Up, Down, Up, Circle(2), Triangle(2), then press and
hold Triangle again.
Change wingman plane's color:
Enter cheat mode and press R1 + Start (10).
Hidden mini-game:

approximately six seconds will begin while the main game loads
again. The Ace Combat icon can be controlled with Left or L2, and
Circle or R2. Press R1 to switch between three control options.
Destroy as many of the ships and missiles as possible before the
small bird walks from the left to right side of the screen.
Extra fighters:
Complete the game under the easy difficulty level. Allow the
credits to complete after the Boss is defeated. The phrase "Extra
10" will appear on the top right corner of the title screen after
it reappears. Use the plane select option to access the extra
fighters.

Press Triangle + Start.
Remove captions (Japanese version):
Pause game play, press L1 or R1, and resume the game. The
Japanese text on the right side of the screen will disappear.
Hints:
Wingmen:
Wingmen can draw enemy fire and planes during a mission. Choose
a veteran wingman in a fast plane. Rhio in the F/A-18 is a good
combination.
