One of the most bizarre cheats in gaming history appears in Metal Slug Anthology for PSP. It turns all human enemies into flamingos or gives them a "flame haze" outline.

Universal Flamingo Code (Works on MS1, 2, X, 3): Metal Slug Anthology Psp Cheat Codes

For over two decades, the Metal Slug series has stood as a titan of the run-and-gun genre. Known for its hand-drawn pixel art, over-the-top explosions, and a unique blend of grim warfare and slapstick comedy, the franchise holds a special place in the hearts of arcade purists. When SNK Playmore released Metal Slug Anthology for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) in 2006, it was a dream come true. Packing seven complete arcade classics (Metal Slug 1, 2, X, 3, 4, 5, and 6) onto a single UMD, it was the ultimate portable collection.

However, there is a well-known catch. Metal Slug games are notoriously brutal. They are designed to drain quarters from arcade-goers, meaning your player character dies in a single hit. With limited continues and the small screen of the PSP, even veterans can find themselves stuck in a perpetual loop of "Mission Failed." | Effect | Code | |--------|------| | Mission

This is where cheat codes enter the fray. While Metal Slug Anthology does not have a traditional "menu" for cheats, the PSP version retains the classic button combo input systems from the arcade originals. By inputting specific sequences on the D-Pad, analog stick, and face buttons, you can unlock infinite continues, select any mission, turn enemies into flamingos, or even raise the dead.

Warning: Most cheat codes in Metal Slug Anthology require specific timing. Inputting them too early or too late will fail. Also, save your game before entering codes, as some may disable trophy/achievement-equivalent progress (though PSP has no trophies, it can affect save file integrity).

A common issue PSP players face is not a cheat, but a glitch that seems like one. Because the PSP has fewer buttons than an arcade stick, the developers mapped "Scroll Lock" (to prevent the screen from moving) to a combination of buttons (usually holding the D-pad diagonally or holding a specific shoulder button).

If your screen stops scrolling and enemies stop spawning, check your inputs. You have likely accidentally triggered the "Stop" command, which was a debug feature left in the arcade ports.
