Jet Ion Grand Prix
Also known as: Hresvelgr (JP original), Hresvelgr: International (JP rerelease) Developer: Gust Publishers: Gust (JP), Ubi Soft (EU) Platform: PlayStation 2 Released in JP: June 22, 2000 (original), December 21, 2000 (International) Released in EU: March 22, 2002 This game has unused text. This game has debugging material. This game has a hidden level select.

Debug Menu

A debug menu is present in all versions of this game. Oddly enough, the only version that displays the main debug menu correctly is the European version. The font files are missing in the Japanese versions of the game and as a result, you will be presented with corrupted text on screen. Even in the European versions, the later debug menus and options are missing font files. You can apply the following codes for your version of the game to enable the debug menu at boot.

Replace "?" with one of the following:

0 = Main Debug Screen
1 = Main Debug Screen (with debug info enabled in game)
2 = Level Demo Mode (corrupted text)
3 = Same as 0 ?
5 = Ending Movie Selector ? (corrupted text)
6 = Two Player Debug Menu
7 = Trophy Viewing Menu (corrupted text)

Main Debug Screen

The main debug screen. You can select the course type, track, racer, item equipped, and lap count here. It is unclear what the options USERPARAM, MACHINECOUNT, FLAG, REPLAY CAM DATA and, REPLAYFILE do. The TAC evnt option appears to put you in a few exclusive demo event settings. The demo event settings are: FAMITSU, FAMITSU-PS, FAMITSU-BROS, GAMEWAVE and FAMITSU.COM. Perhaps these modes were shown off at certain game events.

Main Debug Screen (With Debug Info)

You will be presented with three menu options here. Choose the first one as the other two crash the game. Selecting the first option here will take you to the main debug screen. When entering any mode from this option it will enable a set of debug information on screen. Sadly, the information is all corrupted.

Pressing Select will bring up the (corrupted) debug display. You can edit options here but it's unclear what the text is. With the below code on, you can activate another background debug display for the EU version, although it's also corrupted.
