Debug Menu#

To do:
Document more of this debug menu. Not everything is covered on this page.

Like all of Gust's PlayStation 2 Atelier games before Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana, a very elaborate debug menu remains in this game as well. You can apply the following code for a cheat device that supports raw codes, such as a CodeBreaker or a GameShark to enable it.

Master Code (For an actual PS2 only)

Enable Debug Menu At Boot

With the code above active, upon booting the game for the first time, you will come across the debug menu.
