Mikomai: Towa no Omoi

This page contains no introduction.
What makes this game notable or what is it about? Are you a bad enough dude to save this article?

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Figure out what the Japanese text on the right side of the rough sketch image is.

Unused Graphics#

A few placeholder graphics remain on the disc. Strangely, a graphic from Men at Work! 3: Ai to Seishun no Hunter Gakuen is also on the disc, which can also be found unused in Natsuiro: Hoshikuzu no Memory.

Originally unused in Men at Work! 3: Ai to Seishun no Hunter Gakuen, which also made a appearance in the game's files of Natsuiro: Hoshikuzu no Memory.

An unused etude logo. The used version is much more refined.

A placeholder memory card save background. This appears once more in the game's files.

A placeholder memory card load background. This appears once more in the game's files.

A developer screenshot of the title screen that's upside down with reversed text. A similar case also appeared in Men at Work! 3: Ai to Seishun no Hunter Gakuen.

A rough sketch version of one of the in-game CG images. The text on the left side reads "夏こんな感じでしようか" which would roughly translate to "Let's do something like a summer feeling". It's unclear what the text on the right is.

Debug Logging#

Within the game is a stubbed printf function which would have logged various background information to a debug unit. This logs information such as files, movies, and sound data loaded. It would also report errors if any occurred. To re-enable this mode, apply the below code for the US version of the game:

If you are playing the game on a regular PlayStation 2, you will need to use a TOOL, RDB, or a debug version of OPL to view the logs. If you are playing on an emulator, you can see this information by enabling the option "Show Console". Below is an example of what type of information gets logged.
