DropMix/Debug Mode

This is a sub-page of DropMix.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

To do: Add further explanation Add other modes' debug menus (Party & Puzzle modes have more buttons) Buy DropMix controller to see what some of the unknown controller-related debug buttons do. Find out how to bypass Google Play Games verification with debug mode on. Write tutorials on how to patch both the Mono & IL2CPP builds. (I have the steps for the Mono builds but I have to see how to convert them for the later IL2CPP build)

Requirements & Notes

• Debug APK, original data & obb files. (Archive.org link) [Note: This is the 1.9.0 IL2CPP build]
• DropMix Controller (for some of the keybinds and debug buttons)
• USB/Bluetooth Keyboard for your phone (if none, this is a fine alternative: wifikeyboard [The Google Play Store may say it's too old for your device, but it works fine])

Android emulators (like BlueStacks & Windows Subsystem) are not really preferable for this due to certain graphic layers not showing properly.

Controls

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Find out what the Unknown commands do. (code has obfuscated namespaces so it may be tough, they're mentioned in certain areas in Assembly-CSharp.dll) Which keybinds work outside of the debug build.

Main Debug Menu Buttons

Top Rows

Button	Effect	Notes
Row 1
Hide Debug	Hides debug menu
Show Bluetooth Comms	Shows Bluetooh Communication Logs (When pressed two buttons appear in place of it "Hide Bluetooth Comms" & "pause/unpause")	Suggests the bluetooth board communicates by sending CTI values from cards. 24k Magic (E377/58231) and September (02D4/724) on board 81 10 A3 00 00 00 01 01 0000 0000 0000 E377 02D4 Both cards on same slot, XOR of CTIs in data 81 10 A3 00 00 00 00 02 0000 0000 0000 0000 E1A3
Show/Hide History	Unknown
EQ Button	Presses the DropMix button
Red Score Up/Down	Increases or decreases the score for the players on the left side in Clash Mode

Draw stats	Shows FPS and "Audio plugin memory" on the top right of the screen.
Draw card load	Card loading log
Force wheel slice	Depending on what you pick the wheel will automatically spin to your choice	This only works in Clash, Party, and Puzzle
View bad CTI reads	Likely refers to values which the server rejected ; changing a card asset to an invalid CTI value displays an error message here. Switching September's 02D4/724 value in sharedassets results in Attempted to look up invalid CTI 02D4, real CTI was probably 016A or 816A
Worst snapshot	Saves a unplayable snapshot mix called "All Wilds" that features Bruno Mars - 24K Magic, Rick James - Super Freak, Skrillex - Bangarang (ft. Sirah), Disturbed - Down With The Sickness & Childish Gambino - Heartbeat
Reader mode	Swiches between kBluetoothReader & kNoReader
CardSlots history	Shows card history of each board slot
Skip card verification	When using modified game assets to swap card data, they fail intermittently when internet is enabled. This likely fires a request to check the data matches what the card data says it is.
Verify Cached Cards	Unknown	Pauses game for a few seconds, might have to do something with the game cache but unsure. May also also reset the card cache after restart. Possibly a means of forcing the game to update card data if updates were required after the initial download.

Card Display Mode

To do: Copy over Season data to the Notes page and link it for reference (since it seems to be somewhat pulling from there). Document buttons/menus.
