Action Replay and Final Fantasy X

Didnt know where it should go so i posted it here.

I was browseing the web looking for a UK internet site that would sell FF7 by me sending a postal order and i had found a site and sent away the money and then they told me that it was out of stock so i was allowed to get something else which I decided to get the Action Replay MAX which is pretty sweet for cheats. It arrived today so i browsed through it and had seen Final Fantasy X so i went into the menu to see what there was and found that you can have absolutely everything in the game max out all summons characters, customise what you want on your weapon, infinite money, health, 99 of ALL items, all key items, max out all of the besaid aurochs, max out sphere grid for all people,max all characters stats have all overdrives make you characters fat and skinny. So you can really see how this would ruin your game if you had just started the game for the first time and had the cheats on

That’s pretty much common knowledge.

Just out of curiousity… how does that cheat work? Do you click the controller-buttons in one particular order, or does have something to do with the cheat-thingy you ordered?
