Ben 10: Protector of Earth (PlayStation 2, Wii, PlayStation Portable)

Ben 10: Protector of Earth is the second video game based on the American animated television series Ben 10. (The first was a little obscure game on an equally obscure console, the Mattel HyperScan.)

To do: Look through level and model files.

Debug Options#

The game has a text file which lists debug options for the game.

DEBUG_CHEATS            OFF                    // Are debug cheats on/off
DEBUG_TEXT              OFF                     // Display debug text/gfx
DEBUG_FLY               OFF                 // Fly-through mode on/off  (skips the level you are on and gives a time of 0 and an A ranking)
LEVEL_SELECT            OFF                 // Level select on/off  (allows access to level selection screen with all levels unlocked)
DEMO_LEVEL_SELECT       OFF                 // Only show * levels in level select (only levels with specific triggers are shown in the level select, but no levels have the trigger to show up)
SOUND                   ON                  // Sound on/off
DEBUG_SOUND     OFF         // Debug Sound info

Watch on YouTubeYou can turn debug options on by changing OFF to ON in the text file, importing the text file into the game.dir file, and building a new disc image from those files.

Unfinished Levels#

By using the level select debug option, you can load unfinished versions of levels that lack enemies, items, have basic textures, and missing boundaries (police lines, cars, etc).

The levels are:

• L6 CraterLake (Crater Lake)
• Historic Battlefield (Historical Battlefield)
• Basic Graybox (Bayou)
• New Orleans (New Orleans)
• DC Full Level (Washington D.C.)

Voids#

By using the level select debug option, you can load versions of levels with the word local added at the end. Loading them leads you to an empty void.
