Cheats, GTA, and ingenuity

Rockstar released some cheats for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas around when it was released. Since then, various other cheats have appeared including a very amusing jetpack spawn that I abuse regularly.

I've often wondered how the cheats were found, and this page of GTA: SA cheats explains at the end. One clever person has hooked a PS2 controller to his PC and got it to send button combinations to the game. Hence, so many cool cheats have been found for the game that Rockstart never released. Ingenious.
