Dora Saves The Snow Princess (Wii)

Based on the Dora direct-to-video movie of the same name, Dora Saves the Snow Princess is a simple platformer designed for children on the Wii, a common platform for games of these sorts.

Debug Tools#

Various debug tools can be brought up in the game by changing values in cdgame.txt.

Debug Level Select#

A "Debug Level Select" button on the menu can be brought up by changing LEVEL_SELECT in cdgame.txt to "ON". Selecting it allows you to load into any level of the game. Note that only a black screen appears when DEMO_LEVEL_SELECT is enabled.

Debug Menu#

Similarly to the debug level select, the debug menu can be enabled by changing various values in cdgame.txt. Then once a level is loaded, pressing Minus on the Wii Remote will bring up the debug menu in the top right of the screen and make the game pause. Some options don't seem to work and just switch back to their default values once switched.

Debug Files#

cdgame.txt#

Contains some launch options and some lines related to the Sony PSP. Likely a leftover from the engine.
