User Saved Games
If your PlayStation 2 comes equipped with a GameShark type device, you can download user-submitted saved game data off the Internet. This will allow access to all levels and aircraft during your next game. Unfortunately, the game will start with the previous high score on that saved game and not from zero. This is not the way to go for gamers interested in keeping an accurate count of their scores.
Trainers
A game trainer will add significant power-ups, but the file must be burned onto the original game disc. It will only work with a PlayStation 2 modified with an aftermarket chip. After downloading and unzipping the trainer file from the website, include the file in a new burn copy of the game. The trainer will allow you to override the memory addresses of the game and give you unlimited shields, ammo, energy, and time.
Cheat Code
There is only one cheat code for "Rebel Raiders." Select "New Game" at the main menu and a slot for a new profile. Enter "TUNGHA" in all caps as the profile name. The new profile, "CHEAT," will be saved to your memory stick. The new game will start with 32 unlocked challenges as well as all four types of aircraft.
Hints and Tips
Cut your engines just before executing a 90-degree turnaround. This will increase the speed of the maneuver. Lock-on to multiple targets with the right thumb-stick. This will keep the target on your enemies without affecting your flight maneuvers. Perform barrel rolls to evade incoming missiles. The plane will do a barrel roll if you flick the left thumb-stick in either direction immediately before the missile would make contact.
