Debug Menus

Several debug menus remain in this game, ranging from item editors and party member editors. Unfortunately, most of the menus do not work properly anymore. Apply the code below for the USA version to enable these menus.

Item Editor

This menu allows you to obtain any item in the game. While in this menu, press L/R to decrease / increase the current item selected.

Party Editor

This menu allows to set any party member at any given time to your party.

Community Editor

It is unclear what this option does exactly. This menu is very big. Once you press X button on any option, it will open another sub window of five options to choose from, off-screen. It is unclear what those options are.

Bustup Viewer

The very last option in this menu allows you to view various icons which are used for different expressions in game, such as an exclamation mark, or singing icon.

Unused Graphics

A temporary portrait image. This is similar in design to the one found in Persona 4.

An early portrait of the female protagonist. It lacks proper shading, and there is a chunk of white between the torso and arm.

An overlay effect used for testing. The version on the right is a restoration of what the image should look like. The original image found in the game files is broken due to an unintentional LF→CRLF/CR→CRLF conversion. This is the earliest known instance of this file throughout various Atlus games.

A blue butterfly was fluttering
outside the window...
Could it have been your
imagination...?

No kidding? So...? How's she look?
She's sitting right over there...

This was to be used during the first day assembly in the female protagonist route, after a student sees her walking to school with Yukari.

The second line in tutrial_test_msg3 says "test" over and over in Japanese. These three messages also appear in umd0.cpk\data\field2d\bg\b07_02.abin, and may appear in other locations as well.
