Debug/Edit Menu#

To do: Complete/correct the documentation for this. Also, see if there's another way in (writes 1 to word $FFDC26).

Start the game with both 3F0:60 (to bypass the checksum) and 408:0001 (the magic) to show a debug menu with various editing options. Press A, B or C to enter any of the options. To come back to the main debug/edit menu, press Start from any of the subscreens except for OBJ Test.

OBJ Test#

Test the game out with the new parameters given.

Map Test#

See a map that automatically scrolls, showing all of the map's details. The only control here is pressing Start to leave this screen.

Pattern Check#

See all of the sprite banks as shown in the game and as loaded in the VRAM. Press Left or Right to change the character's sprite.

Action Check#

See the characters moving in action. Similar to the above, it shows the sprite as shown in the game and as loaded in the VRAM. Press Left or Right to change the animation. The sound accompanying an action also play. Note the left character is controlled with the first player's controller, while the right character is controlled with the second player's controller.

• Y - Change the collision box type by +1.

Paramater Edit#

Typos aside, this would allow one to change some parameters. None of the controls listed here work, aside from going up and down in this menu.
