I need help w/ Max Payne

I need Help! I'm trying to install the following into the short cut:
''C:\Maxpayne.exe -developer''
But My computer says the info in the Target box is invalid, please tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I need to do. Thank you! Travis

I've tried :

"C:\Program Files\Max Payne\Maxpayne.exe -developer".
"C:\Maxpayne.exe -developer"


I tried the both,and a few others I've found. But it comes up everytime saying the same thing.Also, to make sure the path and file are correct. Got any other ideas, could it be cause I have one of the patches downloaded (it wouldn't work with XP otherwise) : maxpayne105patch.exe would this make a difference?

right click on the shortcut that you normally use to play the game. click on properties. go to the line that says "target" and insert -developer OUTSIDE OF THE QUOTES. copying and pasting this wont work.

and make sure that the path to the .exe file is correct.


"C:\Program Files\Max Payne 2\MaxPayne2.exe" -developer

I just tried it that way but, it still says the same thing, is there a different one for the first Max Payne?

I just finally got it to work, but now the F12 won't work, I have F12 written where it says short cut key.It also says its not a valid save game file, and the game won't load either, Any ideas? Thanks for any help you give.. Travis

still having problems loading the game. it says it's invalid

it says shortcut below the target line

dunno what you mean by shortcut, if you want the console I think you hit the Tilde(~) key. if you want more stuff to play with replace -developer with -developerkeys

Maxpayne 1 and 2 are the same pretty much the same as far as console commands and -developer stuff.

i thought it wasn't 'developer' , it was i think 'developerkeys'. that oughta work.

<commandline> -developerkeys

like that ^^

How exactly do I put i"C:\Documents and Settings\a\My Documents\Games\MaxPayne.exe" - developerkeys on the target line ?
Do I use spaces after - developerkeys or "C:\Documents and Settings\a\My Documents\Games\MaxPayne.exe"-developerkeys

What goes in the shortcut line ? Currently says; none

Try this;

''C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Max Payne\MaxPayne.exe'' –developer


Make sure that the ''-developer'' part is on the outside of the quotation marks.

The path is wher the game is installed so if you have it right on C: and not in Program Files
you'll have to work that out.
