Brave: The Search for Spirit Dancer

This page contains no introduction.
What makes this game notable or what is it about? Are you a bad enough dude to save this article?

To do:

DEFAULT.PAK has lots of random things - symbols maps, a text compiler, etc. Not only this, but the game uses LUA scripts, making finds a lot easier.
There's an in-game debug menu if 0x0046A088 is AND equal to 0x2, but like the debug camera, there appears to be no controller mappings or sub routines.

Front End Debug Menu#

Enabling the below code will send you to this screen after the game boots.

Debug Text#

During main gameplay (i.e. after the bear chase sequence at the beginning of the game), holding R2 on Controller 2 will show a debug functionality. The player can press L1 to go to a HUD test (the only option left is a sound test) or L2 to show octree data. Pressing R1 progresses back through the menus.
