JonR2006 maintains he has the solution for LotR:RotK end of the game codes. He states that once you have beaten Return of the King, the codes at the end of the game don't work. Everytime there is a DOWN, UP, RIGHT, or LEFT entry to press when putting in the code, you have to do the exact opposite.

Basically, when the code tells you to press UP, press DOWN (note UP and DOWN have been fixed on the PS2 page). When the code tells you to press RIGHT, press LEFT. Do note change the instructions for CIRCLE, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, or X (keep them the same).
