Developer: Tom Create Publisher: Square Platform: WonderSwan Color Released in JP: July 12, 2002 This game has hidden development-related text. This game has debugging material. This game has a hidden sound test.

Debugging Context

The main loop is located at 4000:1EC0.

A jump table is located at 4000:1F83 (0x741F83) and is called at 4000:1F2F and 4000:1F52. The table is grouped by pairs of event pointers: init and update, which correspond to the 2 calls.

The Debug Menu state is index 1 (1st index being 0) within the jump table.

Debug Menu

To access the debug menu, set a breakpoint at 4000:1F28, modify the byte value at DS:0201 to 0x01 and continue execution.

Event Functions

Init	Update
4000:64B0	4000:659F

To do: Determine if the Debug Menu can be accessed without the use of a debugger, ie. search ROM for writes to 0x201 with the value 0x01 and go on from there...

Also, there's some text for a debug status display at 0x797BDB.

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
