This game already runs at 60 fps ONLY in single race and tournament modes. If you play in time trial, zone or free play modes it runs at 30 fps... but not anymore, this cheat fixes that

This game already runs at 60 FPS in gameplay but runs at 30FPS on menus; I post this just in case someone wants 60FPS all the time .

*Cheat Status: Both GTA cheats are almost perfect, except:
- In GTA LCS, an annoying noise can be heard sometimes (like a constant car horn from nowhere), this seems to be related to the cheat when enabled but if you pause the game (by pressing start button) when you go back to the game the sound wil be gone.
- Both games have random slowdowns to 30 FPS in heavy areas (especially GTA LCS).

I think the GTA games need a higher PSP clock speed than default to be playable at solid 60 FPS. In PPSSPP, set it to some value higher than 333 MHZ (444, 555 or 666 MHZ?) and before starting the game, and remember to not load a savestate saved from the game booted with a lower CPU speed.

We still need to port 60FPS codes to GTALCS [EUR-v2] and GTALCS [EUR-v3].

It should be easy to port the cheat for LCS or VCS to other region/version:
Boot the game and let your player/vehicle alone, open ppsspp disassembly, click Funcs, search for "vblank" (ctrl + f) in the address list from the right and set a breakpoint on the result (double click it and it turns red). If the game is running normally with the breakpoint enabled, then disable that breakpoint and continue the search for another "vblank".
At some point you will find a vblank that pauses the game with a breakpoint on it, look around for an opcode with a "b" (like "b 0x08AB341C"), right click it, click on assemble opcode and enter "nop", now go play the game. If it runs at 60fps, right click the address you found with the "b" and click on copy address. If we decrease this copied address by 08800000, we have the CW cheat for the ini file. You can use the same values I posted above with the address you found for the CW cheat.
    GTA LCS Example with correct "b" opcode (EUR)

I used the same method with GTA Chinatown Wars and it worked, unfortunately the game goes double speed, and no luck with a speed modifier

@Gehrich Thank you for your testing with Patapon. After playing for a while with the cheat enabled I thought the same about it, it's just not worth it.

The easier games to unlock are those that change in-game FPS, like game menus at 60/30 fps (NOT videos) and real gameplay at 20/30 fps. Let me know some games with this behavior and I'll give them a shot.
