NOTE: It's best not to use both codes at the same time.


98HT-F978
Easily access the secret configuration cheat. As soon as
you see the SEGA logo (when you first start the game),
press: UP, DOWN (before the SEGA logo fades away). 
You'll hear a musical "fanfare" it you did it right.
Then, press and hold the START button while you use the
C button and directional pad to select your saved game.
If you choose to start a new game, you'll get to rename
every character in the game.  Just remember to hold down
the START button until you see the configuration menu.
Once there, you can select: Special Turbo, Control
Opponent, Auto Battle, and Game Completed.  See note
below on where to get more details on what these do.



98HT-F99W
Easily access secret battle cheats.  As soon as you see
the SEGA logo (when you first start the game), press:
UP, UP (before the SEGA logo fades away).  You'll hear
some sinister music if you did it right.  Then, press
and hold the START button while you use the C button and
directional pad to select your saved game. If you choose
to start a new game, you will get to rename every
character in the game.  Just remember to hold down the
START button until the game starts.  Here are some of
the things this cheat can do:  Anytime you're in a town
or on the map (not in battle), press and hold B to walk
through or over anything.  During a battle, when you're
close enough to attack an enemy, choose the attack
option.  When the enemy is highlighted, hold down START
and press C.  A small box will appear in the upper right
hand corner.  You can change the number in this box by
pressing LEFT or RIGHT.  Here's a very quick description
of what the different numbers do: 

00 = Attack any character (128 = Boss).
01 = Cast any spell on any character.
02 = Use any item on any character.
03 = Not sure (seems to give you exp without attacking).
04 = Makes character explode (damages anyone nearby).
05 = Gives a funny message.
06 = Prism Laser.

Select the number you want and press C. You may have to
pick other numbers as well (these are explained in the
guide listed below).  See note below on where to get
more details.  

And don't forget that holding down B anywhere outside of
battle will allow you to walk through mountains, lakes,
buildings, etc.  Very fun to play around with.



NOTE:
I read a FAQ about these controller cheats, and it said
you had to press up to 14 buttons before the SEGA logo
faded away to activate them.  I tried about 20 times to
do it, and I failed every single time.  That's when I
decided to make Game Genie codes to make it easier.  Now
all you have to do is press UP DOWN, or UP UP to
activate them.  MUCH easier.
