Debug Flags#

Located at SNES address $00AF2D-00AF32 is a set of three 16-bit debug flags. All are set to #$0000 to turn the debug features off.

00AF2D - Debug Menu#

Use Pro Action Replay code 00AF2D01 or Game Genie code DFC4-A707 to access the debug menu on bootup. Note that there's no visible cursor, so you'll need to keep track of your D-Pad Up/Down presses when making a selection. Or, monitor memory address $7E052A in a debugger, which holds the index. Press the A button or Start to confirm the selection. Watch out, there's an invisible sixth option (index #$05) that will crash the game if selected.

00AF2F - 1P vs. 2P Game#

Before Game#

  • In pitcher/batter view, on controller 1 press L shoulder button to put a ball in play. It will usually hit hard enough to reach the outfield wall, or over it for a home run.
  • In field view, on controller 1 press L shoulder button to advance to the next batter.
  • On controller 2, hold X button during the screen transition when a ball is hit to make it always go to right field.
