Using Boosters

[ozMidra]

Heyo, for people like me who only tried to play this with a controller for nostalgic reasons, I wanted to quickly post this. I spent about 30 minutes browing the web trying to find how to activate the speed booster to help with grinding sphere levels with no joy. Eventually I pressed Esc on the keyboard and got a totally different menu than any I'd got using the controller! Anyway, quick reference guide below;

F1 - Toggles between normal speed, 2x speed and 4x speed, doesn't affect menus or cutscenes, so no skipping of those long boring cutscenes sadly!

F2 - Supercharge characters, haven't used this myself but I imagine it'll just make everyone always hit for max damage or similar.

F3 - Increases or decreases enemy encounter rate.

F4 - Auto-battle, for all the Metal Gear fans who hate gameplay and just want to watch cutscenes all day long :p

F5 - Toggles the HUD off/on for taking screenshots.

In the Esc menu there's also a "Change Parameters" menu, thish is where you can unlock all items, all skills and maximim gil if you want these.

Cheers!

I've never managed to dodge the lightning 200 times. Without encounters have a chance now!

Uhm... so nothing stopped you before either cause no-encounter is an auto-ability you can make your self. Purifying salt (drops from zombies) to make it, it can also drop from ghosts in the cavern at the north of the calm plain, and it can even be found on a weapon from a boss.

Well obviously I didn't know that. I've never had the random encounters turned off before. Maybe when I first played the game because that's when I was into it the most, and didn't have as many games and played FFX constantly but that's nearly 20 years ago and I don't remember.

Doesn't matter, passed it now. Wasn't keeping count so thought I'll just dodge until I get hit, 338 in the end haha.

Thank god! I've been playing this game since the time it came out on PS2 so long ago. Every few years I play it again because it's one of my favourites. I don't want to cheat and don't mind grinding but I've never managed to dodge the lightning 200 times. Without encounters have a chance now!

Just put equipment on that has no encounters on it. Dodging the lightning has a trick to it. There is location on the map where the lighting always strikes when you move to it. Otherwise I would say it's near impossible to get those 200 dodges. Well, at least to someone like me.

Do the pc boosters help obtain the strongest weapons in final fantasy 10 and 10-2 ?

I noticed you can get 99 items and refresh for spheres does that include upgrade items for weapons ?

I believe it only affects items, not key items and not equipment - both of which are what you need for the ultimate weapons.

However, you can simply use a tool like the Farplane editor to do whatever you want with your game. If you want to skip the minigames and make your ultimate weapons, it can easily let you do that.

Hey there!

Unfortunately, the developers of this port didn't design it with the intention of using boosters without a keyboard. However, you can still use cheats by remapping the back buttons on your Steam Deck to F1, F2, F3, and F4. Here's what each function does:

F1: Toggles between normal speed, 2x speed, and 4x speed. This doesn't affect menus or cutscenes, so you won't be able to skip those long cutscenes.
F2: Supercharges characters. I haven't used this myself, but it likely makes everyone hit for maximum damage or something similar.
F3: Increases or decreases the enemy encounter rate.
F4: Activates auto-battle, perfect for those who prefer watching cutscenes over gameplay.

Also, there's a special menu that can be accessed with the 'Esc' key. I recommend binding one of the buttons to 'Esc'.

If you don't want to do remapping yourself, you can use community layouts where players share their control schemes for the game. Here’s how to change them:

Go to your game library and select Final Fantasy X.
Click on the controller icon or go to "Manage" and then "Controller Configuration."
In the controller configuration menu, select "Browse Configs" or "Community Layouts."
Browse through the available community layouts. You can read descriptions of every layout so look for ones specifically made for the Steam Deck or the ones that have back buttons remapped to f keys.
Once you find a layout you like, select it and apply it to your game.

There are no boosters related to mini-games. The other stuff(money/exp/item cheats) I haven't mentioned is located in the special menu ('esc' button).
