Trauma Center: Second Opinion Leftovers

There are leftover portraits for Angie and Derek from the Wii game Trauma Center: Second Opinion, along with a few placeholder portraits.

The text in Derek's last portrait translates to "Operating".

The text reads "320 Ordinary", followed by "Kafi Mugabe". Kafi Mugabe is one of the patients in this game.

This text says "Failure".

Episode Selector

The debug episode selector.
The symbol 章 in the Japanese version means "Chapter".

US Version	Japanese Version

The debug episode selector is used for the Surgery selection and ADV selection menu options. Selecting an episode that doesn't have a surgery for surgery selection or an episode that doesn't have a cutscene for ADV selection takes you back to the main menu.

X Operation Cutscenes

If an X Operation (Chapter 8) episode is selected for "ADV before" a cutscene with the same text as the surgery briefing takes place in an office in the "Suburbs" map. X Operation episodes normally skip straight to the surgery briefing when selected from the normal episode selection menu.

Test Operation

In the Japanese version, selecting "手術　石井さん用　(Surgery For Ishii-san's Use)" starts a test operation. The US version of the game normally prevents the test operation from being played. Because of this, the equivalent option in the US version "ope direct" defaults to Chapter 1 Episode 3's operation, but the test operation can be enabled with a cheat.

The operation consists of 2 tumor removal operations in a row with a constantly shaking screen. Failing the operation in the US version shows some mangled untranslated text. Failing the operation in the Japanese version shows the text as it was intended.

Translation of the text:Tsukimori, you're going too slow! I'll handle the rest!
