Debug Menus#

Sprite Test#

Sprite Test showing a red error message at the bottom

The game contains a debug menu to test background images as well as the sprites and animations for the various characters in the game. The values can be changed by pressing Left or Right on the D-Pad from 1 to 999, while moving through the options is done by using Up and Down. The screen is reloading and applying the settings when pressing the A-Button. Up to four sprites can be tested at the same time, although trying to load four sprites at a time often causes the game to crash. When the player tries to load an ID that is not existing, a small red error message appears at the bottom of the screen.

The menu translates to the following:

〇✕△Check Mode△✕〇
Background Number	Sets the background
Actor Number	Sets the character of the first actor
Facial Expression Number	Sets the facial expression of the first actor
Actor Number	Sets the character of the second actor
Facial Expression Number	Sets the facial expression of the second actor, only appears when the first actor is existing
Actor Number	Sets the character of the third actor
Facial Expression Number	Sets the facial expression of the third actor, only appears when the second actor is existing
Actor Number	Sets the character of the fourth actor
Facial Expression Number	Sets the facial expression of the fourth actor, only appears when the third actor is existing

Sound Test#

Sound Test

The header of the sound test translates to 〇✕△Check Mode△✕〇 once again and is build very similar to the one for the sprite test and having the same controls. There are four options to choose from, the first being the BGM which plays any background music found in the game. SE can be used to listen to any special effect sound in the game. Lastly the STREAM lists all voice files of Conan Edogawa that he uses throughout the game. At the very end there is an option called ALL STOP which stops all sound files that are currently played.
