This is a sub-page of Proto:Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

Test Menu

Press Select at the title screen.

Ruby-debug-testmenu-1.pngRuby-debug-testmenu-2.png

This menu displays some information about the ROM and a number of testing functions.

Battle

Image Text Translation
Ruby-debug-battle-setup.png GECKARBOR TREECKO
PFUND POUND
NOTDÜNGER OVERGROW

A screen where you can set up and start a battle between any two teams. Press L + Select to return to the title screen.

BATTLE selects the battle type:

  • 01: Wild battle.
  • 02, and 04: Trainer double battles.
  • 03: Trainer battle.
  • 05: Link battle.
  • 08: The Wally battle where he captures a wild Pokémon.
  • 09: Safari Zone battle.

The other options are either obvious or unknown. A/B adjust by 1, and L/R adjusts by 10, but adjusting by 10 will only change the background.

Pressing Select while the BATTLE option is highlighted will activate additional functions, depending on the current value of the option.

  • 01: Displays the Pokémon evolution sequence, showing the first Pokémon on the opponent's team evolving into the second. As this feature appears to be purely for demonstration purposes, no Pokémon will disappear from the team after the sequence finishes and neither will moves learned during the evolution be retained by the second Pokémon.
Hmmm...
To do:
02 does something (shows battle BG, Pokémon is selectable, Y position of sprite can be changed, D-Pad changes modes, hangs sometimes), R + Select returns.

Move the cursor to the far right to edit the player's team. A/B adjust by 1, L/R by 10. Press Select to edit movesets. Configurations can be saved to nine different slots. Start begins the battle, and during battle will toggle displaying the enemy's HP as numbers instead of a bar.

LUGIA LUGIA
BISAFLOR VENUSAUR
KAPPALORES LUDICOLO
FEUERSCHLAG FIREPUNCH
ターン Turn

This mode also enables several battle debug functions:

  • During battle, pressing Start at the move select screen displays some information about the selected move. Then, press Start to view the animation of it being used against the opponent or Select to see it used against yourself. Left/Right/L/R selects a move. Up/Down adjusts the "turn" value. Other values' purposes are unknown.
  • Press L + R to replace this move with the one selected. (Pressing L will change the selected move, but pressing R will then return to the previous selection and save it.)
  • Your inventory is stocked with several useful items. You can catch the Pokémon, which ends the battle, but nothing from test battles is saved. Your badges do carry over from the saved game, however, so high-level Pokémon may disobey.

After the battle, the game returns to this menu.

Sound Test

Ruby-debug-sound-test.png

Hmmm...
To do:
What/where the unknown music is used (if used at all) and any missed uses of already verified music; the TEST 1-4 seems to be made on different instruments, what instruments exactly?

Just what it says on the tin. Use Left/Right to select a song or sound effect (not L/R as the text would have you believe) and A to play it. Pressing L opens another sound effect test screen. Pressing R opens a sound driver test screen.

Ruby-debug-sounddriver-test.png

Accessed by pressing R. Gives all sorts of options to experiment with Pokémon cry sounds. Left/Right adjust by 1, L/R adjust by 10. Select toggles the first option at the right which seems to be echo. Start toggles the second option which plays the sound in reverse.

PokéRIEGEL Test

Ruby-debug-riegeltest-1.png Ruby-debug-riegeltest-2.png Ruby-debug-riegeltest-3.png

Seems to be for testing the Pokéblock making function. Left/Right to select a berry/block type, Up/Down to select a row, L/R adjust the BPM value by 10 (range 0-300). Pressing A displays some results below (six hex numbers - presumably the block's stats - and the color). Pressing Select displays two sets of hex numbers in place of the color; the first seems to be a 16-bit counter which stops when you display it, and the second cycles through random-seeming numbers from 0 to 5.

LINK Test2

Ruby-debug-link-test2.png

Displays a screen that shows various link-related parameters. Pressing L makes it disappear and fade in again. Pressing R also appears to do something, as it makes the game freeze for a few seconds. One of the 0s in the upper-left corner changes to a 1 occasionally, and a 2 is also shown.

Crash Backup Data

Erases all save data without any warning or confirmation. Careful!

e-Card Test

Connecting to an e-Reader. Basically the same as the Mystery Gift option.

  • cheri berry:
  • TM01:

The items can be received from Norman in his Gym.

Time In Game

Lets you adjust the clock, including number of days passed (up to 9999). Current (Aktuelle) and previous (Vorherige) time always seem to be the same.

Finished saving.

RTC Reset

Ruby-debug-rtcreset-confirm.png Ruby-debug-rtcreset-success.png

Resets the clock after pressing A to confirm or B to cancel.

Converter

Prompts to press A to confirm or B to cancel. Pressing A delays a few seconds (probably doing something to save data), then displays a corrupted "conversion completed" message.

Hmmm...
To do:
Figure out the offsets of an unheadered save, and from there find out what is changed by this option.

This option modifies 34 bytes in the save file; all but 4 of these are by 1 bit. The modification to a NO$GBA save file is detailed below (column 1: offset, column 2: original byte, column 3: modified byte).

Hidden Features

Hmmm...
To do:
Test on Japanese version and translate/transliterate names

The byte sequence 03 06 04 FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 09 0A 0C 0D 0E 0F FF in the ROM controls the order of entries on the Test Menu.

FF bytes are terminators, however 16 functions (0 to F) are actually implemented (to varying degrees). By replacing those bytes with, for example, 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 FF 00 00 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D FF, the Test Menu in English Sapphire 1.0 changes as such:

Ruby-Debug-TestMenu-1.png Ruby-Debug-TestMenu-2.png

These added options behave as such in English Sapphire 1.0:

0

Apparently no effect.

1

Hangs game.

2

Apparently no effect.

7

See also: Proto:Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Test Menu#Field_Hajimoru

Starts the game from a preset save.

8

If a save is not present, crashes mGBA by jumping to address D001D000.

If it is, instantly jumps into the game (R must still be held while selecting this option to enable run-everywhere-and-through-walls feature).

B

If a save is not present, hangs game.

If it is, pretends to trade the player's active Pokémon for a decamark, then crashes mGBA by jumping to address D001D000.
