Developer Mode
How to gain access to Developer Mode to enter cheats and console commands.
To add a command line option for the game you need to create shortcut. Browse to the game's installation folder and right click on the MaxPayne.exe file. Choose 'Create Shortcut'. A shortcut icon should appear in the folder. Right click on the shortcut and choose properties. Select the shortcut tab. The command line parameters need to be entered at the end of the data in the 'Target' line. It should look like the line below:
"C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Max Payne 2\MaxPayne2.exe" -developer
Punctuation and spacing is important. Move to the very end of the line and press Spacebar once then enter the desired command line parameter (including the hyphen)

Videos/Game Crashing
Crashes and failure to load videos for the game, for the Windows 7 64-bit operating system, the best way to fix this would be to go to where the executable is. That is, in your Steam folder, and then right clicking the executable and then going to "Compatibility" tab and then set it to run on Windows XP and running as administrator. If you are running an AMD card make sure it's not version 12.8 or it will not run. If the game won't start but shows up in task manager, run the game in compatibility mode windows 95/windows me, then make sure you run the game from steam.
