The Leapster2 is an educational learning system powered by Adobe Flash and a modified version of MQX, serving as a sequel to the original Leapster, alongside the Leapster Explorer. The main additions to the console are an overclocked ARCTangent A5 CPU, 16 MB of RAM, and the ability to sync with LeapFrog Connect via USB to download games to an SD card, or onboard memory on later models, and sync achievement data with the Learning Path service supported by some games.
Debug Features#
Leapster2 Home#
|
|
To do: |
Create a user profile with the name .CITSTER, and sign into it. Once at the picker, tap the top-left corner of the screen to view debug options.
- Tapping log gives you debug options for the SD/onboard memory, shown in the two screenshots below.
- Tapping log State changes a number next to the button. It can be set to 0, 1, 2, or 3. It is unknown what this does, although it might've changed logging levels at some point in development.
- Tapping dir seems to freeze the console for a solid amount of time. It is unknown what it does during this time, perhaps re-loading SD/onboard memory contents?
- Tapping x all will delete all of the profiles on the system.
The top-right arrow exits back to the sign-in screen, interestingly with the picker BGM still playing; the BGM normally doesn't start until you choose a name. It's unknown what any of the other buttons do, but judging by their labels, they likely do some kind of logging functions.
Using the arrows on the side changes a number in increments of 1000, but it's unknown what this number is for. Tapping write opens the second "log event" screen shown above, with a number incrementing from 0. Choosing to write the log while this number is set to over 5000 seems to crash the console.
On models with onboard memory, the log menu is black.
Dragon Kingdom#
The included game, Dragon Kingdom, also has a cheat menu. To access it, tap on the top-left corner of the screen on the character/curriculum selection screen.
It lets you select the level, the map, how many rainbows you have, and more.
After completing all of Dragon Kingdom, you'll be presented with a screen that asks if you'd like to restart. Selecting "no" will bring you to a selector menu between the built-in coloring app Creativity Castle and Dragon Kingdom. Selecting to go out of it brings you to the Leapster2's Leapster Connected (V1) Home Screen. Restarting the system will bring you to the BaseROM's Home Screen.
Unused Sounds#
|
|
To do: |
A voice clip of a kid saying "Missing raw audio." Might've been used if a game tries to play a raw audio clip that is unavailable, invalid, or simply doesn't exist, though this is not confirmed.
System Error Handler#
|
|
To do:
|
When the Leapster2 encounters a fatal error, this sound is played. It is a 735Hz Sine wave tone that the system blasts on maximum volume. This sound also plays when the system cannot properly initiate the boot sequence due to the batteries being too low.
Revisional Differences#
|
|
To do:
|
While all Leapster2 systems are almost internally the same, they come with differences. Some models come with SD Card slots, and some don't. Some also have differences in the BaseROM info and the Home Screens. There are also different bootup screens with these revisional differences. In V1 boards, the BaseROM info screen states Leapster Connected Baserom B5, v1.0 while others state Leapster 2x Baserom 0.6, v1.0.
