FAQ

How do you enter cheat codes in Driver (1999)?

On PC, get a high score in Driving Games and type the code as your name. On PS1, press the button sequence at the main menu, then switch the cheat on in the cheats screen.

Do the same codes work on PC and PlayStation?

No. The high score names are for PC. The PS1 release uses its own shoulder-button codes at the main menu, and both lists are on this page.

Why aren't the mladder.dml edits or GameShark codes listed?

Many PC tricks for Driver edit the game's mladder.dml file, and the extra PS1 codes that circulate are GameShark codes. Both change files or need an add-on device, so this page lists only codes the game accepts itself.
