Overview
While Densha de GO! 3 and Densha de GO! Shinkansen officially support the original (non-USB) PlayStation controllers, other games are only compatible with USB controllers. Via cheat codes, it is possible to use the original PlayStation controllers on real hardware, either with retail discs or via OPL.
The codes emulate a Type 2 controller. You will need to connect the controller as follows:
- Port 1: Dualshock or Dualshock 2 (D-pad, SELECT)
- Port 2: PlayStation controller (handles and buttons, SELECT is mapped to D)
{{% notice note %}} Other controllers may be used like this with an adapter (Titan One/Two + Brook/PADEMU). In this case, buttons are not remapped and the Dualshock on port 1 is not needed. More information {{% /notice %}}
Each game requires a specific cheat code:
- Densha de GO! Ryojouhen
- Densha de GO! Professional 2
- Densha de GO! Professional 2 (Taito Best)
- Densha de GO! Final
There are also cheat codes available for games in the Train Simulator series, emulating a Multi Train Controller (MTC):
For retail discs, the codes can be loaded with ps2rd or Cheat Device. If you are using OPL, it already includes ps2rd and you just need to copy the codes and enable cheats.
Technical description
These cheat codes have become possible after disassembling and inspecting each game with Ghidra and the ghidra-emotionengine plugin. The format of cheat codes is described here.
Here you can find a commented version of the cheat code for Densha de GO! Professional 2 (Taito Best). Input data is copied to 0xFE000 (two bytes for button data and one byte for D-pad data) before processing.
