This is a sub-page of Cowboy Bebop: Tsuioku no Serenade.

A menu known as Program Mode was present within multiple games developed for the Playstation 2 by Chime.

Program Mode Menu Enable#

An elaborate debug menu called "Program Mode" can be enabled with the below code. Press the L2 and R2 buttons at the same time to enable it. This menu will only work in the title screen, and you cannot exit this menu without crashing the game.

Help Text#

In Program Mode, there are multiple different modes and options to choose. In Program Mode 13, there is an option called "Help" which is used for messages below each option in Program Mode. The Language Toggle for English/Chinese is working, but only displays in English. The menu prompts appear to be simplified or incomplete with many typos.

Miscellaneous#

The Exec Mode is also accessible through Program Mode 13. Other than the PS2 Server Directory, the option in Program Mode 13 seems broken. For example, Selecting Exec Mode 40 on the Title Screen will return you to the title screen, but also will crash the game upon selecting an option.
