This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: Plenty of stuff here from Ralf, including a debug menu.

A GameCube port of the PlayStation 2 version of Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly and also just as notoriously buggy as its PlayStation 2 counterpart.

atlas.txt

A .txt file on the disc labeled "atlas.txt" contains a bit of info regarding the game.

# You should have at least 4 pages, and an even number of them.
# Every page should only be linked-to once, because the linking
# page will be used as the return page.

# Each tag number should be unique when it is used to indicate
# the color of the text to be displayed (Text, Goal, Image).

# For a text to highlight, when it is an option, make its flag the Pagelink number
# For a text to be bigger, make its flag 0
# For a text to be smaller, make its flag 99

# Level links will be activated only upon a certain code-activated flag

# Color? Greyed, highligted, darkened
# Flags (Atlas specific)

#	{	x y	tag-type ... }

# HUD Images
# types : 1/Gem 2/Dfly 3/fire 4/ice 5/lightning 6/bubble
#	{	x y	HUDImage type	 <scale> }
# Dragonfly linked to a collection flag 0 200
#	{	0.3 0.61	HUDImage 0	0 200	0.1 }

# IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT LEVEL INDICES
# I know that you can specify level text files in the level definitions
# but please don't change the corresponding levels, because it is now
# hardcoded in the system that level 0 through 7 are the game levels
# and level 8 is the hub, and if you change that, stuff is gonna go
# haywire.

The rest of the file is miscellaneous code.
