Mr. Driller A: Fushigi na Pacteria

Mr. Driller A has Susumu venture into the Dori Dorado Ruins to get items for and raise the game's virtual pet, one of the newly discovered Pacteria lifeforms.

Debug Menu#

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Something with either the hack or the menu itself is not quite perfect. See if it is possible to access the menu in normal gameplay.

Changing two bytes at 0x67938 from 55 82 to 59 A8 will replace the title screen with a debug menu that is identical to the one from the previous game.

Despite not being updated for A's new content like the Pacteria mode or the new characters, it is still mostly functional. However, choosing options related to Time Attack R stages will crash the game, and the "to Tsukada" option will only do a results screen instead of going to the game's main menu.
