Namco celebrates its 50th Anniversary by re-releasing their greatest arcade hits, again. But this time, all the games’ sounds are pitched up by +1.

Leftover Executables

Present only in the NAMCO50.VOL archive from the North American PlayStation 2 release are three leftover executables. They are just copies of the executables that can already be found in the root directory, but they all contain debug symbols that were later stripped out.

Debug Menu

Hmmm...
To do:
Codes for other versions.

NM50-debug2.pngNM50-debug.pngNM50-state.png

A debug menu identical to the one found in Midway Arcade Treasures 2 and 3 can be enabled by using one of the below codes.

GameCube Version Action Replay code
US 04174988 00000001
EU PK67-RZ3J-NAU24
T87W-TDV0-WMMHK
N31A-U27B-6BBCF


PlayStation 2 (US)
D01F4C08 00004734
201F4C18 00000001

The first option returns you back to the pause menu. The second option would've enabled some timing graphs, but no longer functions in the final game. The third option toggles the emulator's frame limiter. The fourth option enables some game status icons at the bottom of the screen.

The Japanese version replaces the licensed songs for the main menu with an original track, and has Pac-Mania and Galaga '88 unlocked from the start.
