Oide Rascal

Loosely based on the anime, and even more loosely based on Sterling North's raccoon escapades. Everybody needs a rascal for a pillow!

Debug Menu#

ACDE9 contains text for a debug menu, which is loaded by function 3BFF. We can force it to load by jumping to it from function 1DAF, which is used for loading the sound test menu (last entry in the start screen menu). Use the following Game Genie code:

C3D-AFE-2A9
FFD-B0E-808
3BD-B1E-3BD

Each button matches the following labels:

Japanese

English Translation

デバックメニューしゅうりょう
アニメーションテスト
モーションテスト
バックグラウンドテスト
ＢＧＭテスト
ＳＥテスト

Debug Menu End
Animation Test
Motion Test
Background Test
BGM Test
SE Test

Each menu entry loads one of the following screens:


Animation Test	Motion Test	Background Test	BGM / Sound Test

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.

There's additional text after the debug menu in the ROM (Animation Test is listed again), but they don't show up in the previous screens:

Japanese	English Translation
`アニメーションテストミニゲーム１ミニゲーム２オープニングエンディング`	`Animation Test Minigame 1 Minigame 2 Opening Ending`
