I believe there was an interview somewhere that it would work by the player typing some random word, and that word would summon a monster.

Can't confirm for sure, though.

I seem to recall this is how the Gameboy Advance ones worked, so it doesn't surprise me.

I mean there's really not any other way they could do it.

They even kept the wobbly textures from the original PS1 version. They actually went out of their way to do that on modern hardware.
Unless it's secretly running on an emulator.
