Rhythm Tengoku (Game Boy Advance)/Debug Menu

This is a sub-page of Rhythm Tengoku (Game Boy Advance).

This cactus is UNDER CONSTRUCTION
This article is a work in progress.
...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.
Hmmm...
To do:
Look further into the following entries:
  • Opening (A and B type)
  • Flash Memory Test
  • R-IQ (Result), R-IQ (Result 2) and R-IQ (Result 4)
Acactussayswhat?
Please elaborate.
Having more detail is always a good thing.
Specifically: Talk about this entry in the main article:
  • R-IQ Arrival
RIQ Data Check could better detailed as a separate section in this very page, being a debug feature and all.

In February 2017, a fully intact debug menu was found within Rhythm Tengoku. All rhythm games, menus, and toys are present – along with a few remnants from earlier points of development, such as early versions of Rap Women and Remix 1, and more.

To access the debug menu, open a ROM of the game in a hex editor, and edit the byte sequences at the following offsets:

Rev. 0 Rev. 1 Kiosk Demo
Offset Original Edited Offset Original Edited Offset Original Edited
9DD478 60 D2 24 DB 9DD448 30 D2 F4 DA 9DD0B8 A0 CE D0 D6
9DD480 58 D4 A8 DB 9DD450 28 D4 78 DB 9DD0C0 98 D0 54 D7

The game should now open the debug menu in place of the title screen.

Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically:
  • My results is inconsistent with what is supposed to happen. エンディング(クリアご) is supposed to boot into the game's ending, but my version just crashes. Maybe the game's dump is bad?)
