Gyakuten Saiban 3

Gyakuten Saiban 3 (commonly translated as Turnabout Trial 3), is the third and final entry in the original Gyakuten Saiban trilogy. Continuing where the previous title left off, it also reveals more of the backstory to the series as well as finishing with a fitting conclusion.

Debug Menu#

Changing the RAM value at address 0x030037B8 to 0x0000000F brings you to a debug menu. It features the build info string "BUILD 2003 1124 0925". An equivalent string doesn't seem to be present in the demo. GyakutenSaiban3_DebugMain.png

Interestingly, two debug scenarios are also available here:

CT_Test#

Appears to work the same as BG_Test, but with fewer images to view.

All_Clear#

Unlocks every case.
