Debug Thing

i'm doing some poking around in the code for retroachievements using RALibRetro, Ghidra, and GBA Explorer, and wanted to see if i can't figure out that tricky debug variable. i haven't found it just yet, but i did find text in the code that reads:

"the pet shop. for debugging and testing, use select to increase money."

this appears at 00238990. i used gba explorer to find this using the text decoding tool they provide.

the disassembly hasn't quite pointed me to the right location for debug text, but i imagine it may be possible to find it using this text pointer (and some knowledge of assembly code).

hope this is helpful to others! Forestcreature (talk) 06:51, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

text oddities

something maybe worth documenting as a known bug, a la pokemon rbgy articles: in the EU version (i haven't tested the US version!), there are a few places where the text is being read from the wrong language.

there are other smaller bugs (visiting the shop sometimes subtracts from the cat's hunger by one, for example). but these ones are the most apparent and show up - or can show up, given you purchase the ball from the shop - in every playthrough.

feel free to rename these files etc as well. i figure the timestamp names aren't the most helpful :P Forestcreature (talk) 08:19, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
