Extra Arcade Mode in Street Fighter Zero2/Alpha2 Games
In the "default" Arcade Mode for the Zero2/Alpha2 games, you can select hidden characters or palette swaps to play as them, but you cannot play against those characters under CPU control (with Shin Gouki/Akuma being the exception, if certain requirements are met). However, there is a way to make them available as CPU opponents in another Arcade Mode (e.g. play against Cammy in Zero2'/Alpha2Gold, play against SFII Zangief in Alpha2, etc.) Keep in mind that these characters will not be available as mini/final bosses. The code input is a bit tricky, so be sure to follow the instruction carefully. Before you input one of the codes below for the corresponding game, make sure to press SELECT and START together wherever you're at in the game. That should get you either to the "QSOUND" screen or the "PRESS START BUTTON" screen. First hold down X, TRIANGLE and R2 (just TRIANGLE and R2 for the US version), and while you're holding them down, press START. That will get you to the main menu of the game. Keep holding the buttons down, and then do the following:
