Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart

Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart does away with the breeding system, replacing it with a monster heart system.

This was the final game released by Enix before merging with Square to create Square Enix.

Debugging Features#

To do: Finish documentation for this menu, preferably once I get more accustomed to the series.

Turn on Action Replay code 030061E4:00 when first booting the game up, then press A at the Enix logo to go directly to the debug jump screen. Once you reach the menu, turn the code off.

Debug Jump#

Allows the player to go to numerous areas in the game. It seems like only PRGN00 actually affects anything.

• A - Goes to the specified area.
• B - Goes to the Debug Menu.
• Start - Sets the selected value back to 00.

When changing PRGN00, the player will go to the following areas:

• 00 - DEBUG - Goes to the Debug Menu.
• 15 - ダンジョンマップ　/ Dungeon Map - Dungeon map screen.
• 16 - つうしんけっかがめん / Communication Result Screen - ???
• 17 - スタッフロール / Staff Roll - Staff credits roll.
• 18 - Same as above.
