House M.D. (Nintendo DS)

House M.D. is a video game adaptation of the TV series of the same name, released for the DS and Windows. Weirdly, despite being based on an American show, the DS version wasn't released in North America.

At least none of the unused content on this page has lupus (it's never lupus).

Unused Graphics#

In the folder for the case 1 full-screen graphics (layouts > SCENES > CASE01), two images named spider01.png and spider02.png can be found. They are unused in the case and are the only instance of non-full-screen graphics appearing in any of the case scenes' folders.

Test Script#

In folder TEXT is a file named cs1_skeleton_text. Based on the name, this file is related to case 1 and was likely used as test dialogue.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<CharDialog>
    <text
        text00=""
        text01="Test 1"

    </text>
</CharDialog>

Case Debugging Text#

The game is programmed to have each minigame be listed as a "scenario", and every case consists of multiple scenarios playing after each other. Each case has its own xml script to create the full case, but every individual case script starts with the following developer segment.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
