Debug Level Select

Using a hex editor, change the Off in "Initial Level Select" to On, making sure to keep the text aligned.

"L1 - Testcard" doesn't appear to do anything, but "R2 - Endgame Sequence" triggers the post-credits sequence showing various characters and enemies. After it completes, the game freezes, with "CloseGame() - shouldnt ever get here" being printed to the log.

Debug Unlock All Levels

Change the No in "Unlock Levels" to Yes.

If edited correctly, the game will progress like normal until the level select screen. Dr. Doppler will perform a unique animation, and all the levels will become unlocked.

Development-Related Text

DISK0\OST\OST_UP~1.ZIP is a package containing early versions of the game's Dutch, German, Italian and Spanish text, alongside a readme file:

language_ger.eng  - German prebeta OST update
language_ita.eng  - Italian prebeta OST update
language_spa.eng  - Spanish prebeta OST update


You have to remove the _ger/_ita/_spa from the file before copying it into the build directory... you can use any prebeta build version to test these OST files, since all the language versions essentially is the same, apart from the language.eng file being replaced with a suitable OST for the given language.

so, to test the german OST language update you would do the following:

rename language_ger.eng to language.eng

copy the language.eng to ps2image\disk0\ost\

and burn a disk with the .ccz file you already have....

viola, new OST language test disk
