To do: Regional differences

Eternal Poison is a tactical RPG game released late in the PlayStation 2 life cycle. The North American version of the game was released as a two-disc set which included a CD soundtrack of the game and was curiously the only release of a Flight-Plan tactical RPG (the genre they were best known for) in English.

You can either apply the below codes to enable Progressive Display mode and Frame Mode Debug, or edit the numbers via a hex editor and edit the numbers in brackets to change the mode. Note that when enabling Progressive Display mode, the game will play movie files too fast and the audio to them will be out of sync. Frame Mode Debug will cause the game to crash.

USA codes:

Frame Mode Debug (R2 + R3)
20555724 00000004

Progressive Display 480p
00100534 00000004
201ED18C 240C0004

Similar to Cowboy Bebop: Tsuioku no Serenade, There is hidden code that reveals a debug menu.
