Status Debug Menu

These options are mostly for various engine statistics. You can also adjust the volume here as well. Another option is to allow the game to play for you and do certain tasks automatically, however it is not clear how that works.

Debug Logging

Within the game is a stubbed printf function which would have logged various background information to a debug unit. This logs information such as files loaded and memory usage. It would also report errors if any occurred. To re-enable this mode, apply the below code.

If you are playing the game on a regular PlayStation 2, you will need to use a TOOL, RDB, or a debug version of OPL to view the logs. If you are playing on an emulator, you can see this information by enabling the option "Show Console". Below is an example of what type of information gets logged.
