Unused Graphics
PASSSEED.DAT, the main graphics repository, contains leftover sprites for the songs ANARCHY IN THE U.K. and LOVE AFFAIR, which are not playable in this release. The former, however, would later appear in GitaDora! GuitarFreaks 4thMIX & drummania 3rdMIX.
ANARCHY IN THE U.K.
LOVE AFFAIR
Invisible Sound Test Menu (and Hidden Strings)
This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: What does Function 6 do? |
Use the following code to replace the "Records" option in the main menu with a sound test menu.
Records = Sound Test 002385EC 00000005
Pressing Up and Down switches through the options, and Select "exits" the debug menu. While all print routines have been stubbed, rendering the text invisible, it can still be found at 0xCF5D40 in the ELF.
