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 information. It would also report errors if any occurred. To re-enable this mode, apply the below code:

Re-enable Debug printf Messages
20247F08 080A5CEA
20247F0C 00000000

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.

A crudely drawn image with the text "Dummy 1" can be seen here. This is actually loaded in the background of the main menu. You can also view this image in-game if you set memory location 0x0061943F to 01.
