Breath of Fire 1 SNES New Game Cheat

Nearing the twentieth anniversary of the first Breath of Fire game, I found a previously-undiscovered cheat code in the game that lets you create save files that start at various parts of the game. It even gives you an appropriate level, some equipment, and 100,000 Zenny.

I apologize for the camera - I just have my iPad, and this code requires both hands.

To do the code, follow these steps carefully. Any mistake means you'll have to retry.
1. Go to New Game and select a blank file to get to Ryu's naming screen.
2. On controller 2, press and hold A, Y, L and R while you do step 3.
3. On controller 1, press the following code carefully: up 4 times, right 2 times, down 8 times, and left 1 time.
4. If you did it correctly, the background will turn red. If not, cancel out of New Game and retry.
5. Enter the name "DeeJ" (capitalization matters) without hitting backspace. If you mess up, the screen will turn blue and you'll have to try again.
6. Confirm your name; the screen will turn the normal blue.
7. Set your settings and enter the game.

You will start outside Scande / ていと as level 29.

There are 5 useful trigger names from Street Fighter you can use for various parts of the game; a sixth one, Fei, is recognized, but is a glitched file that returns you to the title screen.

The Japanese version has the same cheat, but with different trigger names; the Japanese names aren't from Street Fighter. It does not have an equivalent to Fei, though. (Its slot for Fei exists but cannot be entered, so is inaccessible.)

Trigger names (capitalization / kana type matters):
RYU / きよみ
CHUN / コジー
VEGA / なふきん
KEN / バンブー
DeeJ / ドン
