[编辑] Easter Eggs

• Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Reference: In the beginning of the "Biker Heat" mission, a poster above the bed that Maria is sitting on is of the imaginary rock band "Love Fist", the band which Tommy Vercetti befriended and completed missions for in Vice City.
• Bully Reference: wall to the north side of the hospital (facing the road) at Pike Creek, Shoreside Vale, there is a graffiti in red which reads "Bully", another game from Rockstar (although it must be noted that Bully was released about 8 or 9 months after LCS).
• Grand Theft Auto III Smiley Face Reference: There is a parking lot on the top southwest corner of Staunton Island. Look for a white staircase in between the parking garage and the parking lot entrances on the southside. Go up the staircase and jump on the short cement railing. Then turn east and jump up on the roof over looking the parking lot (Liberty Tree Building) and run across the roof to the other side where you will see a courtyard. Jump down into the courtyard and run to the very end of the courtyard to the northwest. Then on a wall at the end of a courtyard has a white picture of a smiley face and says 'Hello Again'. This is the same spot where in Grand Theft Auto III, where a sign says "You aren't supposed to be here." In the PS2 version, it says "You cant get enough of this alley can you?"
• Game of Death and Kill Bill Reference: After completing the "Crazy 69" mission, you will receive the "Dragon Jumpsuit" at your safehouse. This is the same article of clothing that Bruce Lee wore in the 1973 film Game of Death, and a suit in Kill Bill. The title of the mission, "Crazy 69", is also a reference to the "Crazy 88", a team of martial artists from Kill Bill who thought 88 was a good number to call themselves (Bill says that there aren't actually 88 in the opening of Vol. 2).
• Madd Dogg's CD: At the Portland safehouse, there is a billboard advertising Madd Dogg (A rapper from San Andreas) and a rerelease of an old CD (The sign says "Digitally Remastered" on it).
• Candy Suxxx Reference: Billboards for "Let Me Bounce" can be seen around the city, starring Candy Suxxx, a prostitute-turned-porn star from Vice City.
• Graveyard Headstones: In the cemetery behind the church in Staunton Island, many of the headstones have names of characters who were killed earlier in the game. The ones you've killed in Portland show up as regular gravestones. Most of the known personalities you kill later on will have their own, more ornate tombs, with humorous taglines.
• Toni's weight reference: In the game, many characters tell Toni he is too thin, this is probably why he is overweight in Grand Theft Auto III.
• ZIP: Random Landstalkers will spawn with ZIP boxes in the trunk.
• Chinese Food: After completing the "Wong Side of the Tracks" mission, there will be a cup of Chinese food in the Portland Safehouse.
• San Andreas Reference: The mission Wong Side Of The Tracks is a reference to a San Andreas mission titled Wrong Side Of The Tracks. Also, The Mainframe billboard features Barbara and Michelle, who are girlfriends of Carl Johnson.
• Bo Selecta Reference: In the mission "Ho Selecta" it is obviously taking its name from the UK comedy show Bo Selecta whose main character Leigh Francis aka Avid Merrion is from Leeds which is where the game was developed.
• Manhunt Reference: After finishing the mission "Portland Chainsaw Masquerade", Toni is given an outfit called "Coveralls" which includes coveralls and a hockey mask which is a reference to the game "Manhunt" which features people dressed in coveralls and a variety of masks wielding chainsaws.
• Many other misions have names derived from movies,such as Don in 60 seconds,Big Rumble In Little China.

A special feature (only in the PSP version of the game) is the ability to listen to custom soundtracks.^[6] Previously, only Grand Theft Auto games on the Xbox and PC were able to implement custom soundtracks. When Liberty City Stories was released, the custom soundtracks option was featured in the "Audio" section of the menu (by pressing Start in gameplay) but did not have any use. Many people posted on various internet forums asking how to use the feature. At one time, it was thought that these custom soundtrack abilities had to be unlocked, but this would have been very unusual since previous games didn't do this.

A few days after release of the game, Rockstar placed the application called "Rockstar Custom Tracks v1.0" on the official site under the "Downloads" section. This then gave people the chance to use the custom soundtracks feature. The application appears to be based on Exact Audio Copy.

In the application, songs from a CD are ripped, compressed, and converted to files that can be read by the game. Rockstar Custom Tracks (RCT) only allows the ripping of songs that are from a store-bought CD. This was met with much criticism among the fan community. However, fans have found a way to compress and convert MP3 files that are not burned onto CDs[1]. RCT can also look up and use the names from the FreeDB server if there are no names for the song(s). There must be at least one save file in order for RCT to work. It is thought that this will be used for other games Rockstar will release on the PSP from the name. More details can be found in the PDF in the file downloaded from the official site.

In late 2005 a vulnerability was found in the way the PSP version of GTA: Liberty City Stories processes saved games. In December 2005 software was developed to execute unsigned code on PSPs with firmwares 2.00 through 2.60. In April 2006 firmware 2.70 was released and patched the exploit, however, as of 2007年1月25日 it was discovered that Sony did not completely patch the exploit, and unsigned code may be run on 3.03 firmware, a 3.03 downgrader was released 3 days after the exploit was found. Also, new copies of GTA: Liberty City Stories patched the exploit as well, preventing it from being executed on other firmware versions. Since then homebrew has advanced to the point that a copy of GTA: Liberty City Stories is no longer needed to run unsigned code except on firmware versions 2.81 to 3.03.

The GTA: Liberty City Stories Cheat Device is a mod or trainer which allows the player to manipulate gameplay in a multitude of ways, such as invincibility, or changing game constants like weather and water level. Created by Edison Carter, it can be found at his web site.^[7] It also includes a text file application in which the source code can be altered, allowing many different cheats to be put into the game, going as far as to create custom buildings and islands through means of spawning objects in a GUI called "Construction Mode." The last update to the Cheat Device was in October 2006.[2][3] The use of the Cheat Device was blocked by the firmware 2.70 update and by the re-released 'patched' copy of the game as it uses the same GTA exploit, however the Cheat Device returned when Carter released a plug in for the popular PSP firmware emulation program, Devhook. However it lacked many features of the save game version. There is also a Devhook cheat device for GTA: Vice City Stories.

• Throughout the game, Toni is often commented as being too skinny. This explains his buffy figure threee years on where he appears in GTA3.
• During the Mission, "Cash in Kazuki's Chips", Toni must assasinate Kazuki Kasen as a favour for Kazuki's wife, Toshiko Kasen. Upon arriving outside a building, Toni is ambushed by Yakuza men as Kazuki escapes to Casino North. The building then, is in the property of the Kasen Family. Seeing as both Kasen's die during the events of LCS, Asuka and Kenji takeover their business, making it clear as to how Asuki managed to offer the building the protagonist of GTA3 during their first arrival to Staunton.
