Meitantei Conan: Daiei Teikoku no Isan

Meitantei Conan: Daiei Teikoku no Isan is an action/adventure game in which Edogawa Conan and his friends are invited to visit a secluded southern island, where they search for the secret legacy of Eijiro Tone.

To do: Add pre-release information, screenshots, and promotional website that has been restored. Add dead text as a separate page in Notes. Progressive Mode cheat code remains to be discovered. Another debug menu to enable. This one is part of another game mode (perhaps a mini game of some sort). A small lead: if RAM location at 0x004FC698 is equal to 1, you're in the right game mode. Search for unused maps.

Debug Menu#

An elaborate debug menu can be enabled with the below code. Press Select to enable it. This menu will only work during gameplay.

Exec Mode#

It is not clear what this mode was intended to do, as it has much different functionality compared to the rest of the Debug Menu. Using the PS2 Server Directory, the console would connect to the servers using the pre-programmed directories. In "Setup", there is a developer directory, where a few project names can be discovered. Cowboy Bebop and Meitantei Conan are referred to under the names "BEBOP" and "CONAN". The other two are unknown projects.

If you attempt to select a project and load any folder such as "MASTER" or "DMAP", a "----WAIT----" screen will appear and the menu will go back to the PS2 Server Directory. Once in this state, the console cannot return to the main game.

Developer Credits#

When the game attempts to play the credits, the game is not able to locate "staff.ipu" because the file does not exist. The developers made a typo and called it as "stuff.ipu" instead. This causes the game to skip the end credits.

Debug Menu Text#

Present in the executable is text for another debug menu. This is part of another game mode, likely a mini game of some sort. It isn't clear how to activate it.
