Bust-A-Bloc

Bust-A-Bloc (known as The Block Kuzushi Hyper, and released as part of the SIMPLE 2000 series in Japan) is a fairly generic Breakout clone... IN 3D!

Texture#

Use the code 20100188 0C04BE26 to display texture debug text. However, there are no controls to interact with this menu.

Dummy File#

The extensionless file DUMMY, only found in the European release, is actually a .ISO file of the game Makai Tenshou. While it has a filesystem, the beginning data just repeats itself, rendering it unusable. It is a shame, as the image was from May 16, 2003, a little over a month before the retail build.

Build Dates#

In the game's ELF executable, offset 0x1285F0 in the original Japanese release and 0x12A090 in the European localization contain build dates:

Apr  1 2002
02:18:10

Sep  1 2003
10:25:41

Version Differences#

Japan	Europe

• Aside the name change, the elements in the title screen were also repositioned.
