This option lets you edit files and memory card data. Playing movies is also an option, but that does not work anymore.

Additional Debug Functions

Append02

The menu for this option is the same as the ShortCut01 menu. Everything here sends you to the debug menu.

Disk

Nothing appears to work or render on-screen. Likely used as a HDD test of some sort.

Setup

Unknown. Nothing renders on-screen. When pressing Start, it searches for a device named "pfs" then eventually sends you to the debug menu.

Menu

Unknown. Some sort of test menu, but nothing renders on-screen.

Test

Unknown. Likely a host0 mode.

Unused Movie

Unlike the rest of the movies on the disc, this one is composed of a series of images, rather than pre-rendered files. This shows an unused end credit sequence. This is internally named Promtion (promotion). This ending sequence is oddly based off of the internal startup time. Depending on when you choose to play this movie, you may either have to wait several seconds for it to start, or it might be almost over by the time you start playing it. The colored background is also set on a timer as well.

To view this movie, apply the code below and start a new game.

Unused Song

"Ride on Bicycle" from the third Memories Off game Omoide ni Kawaru Kimi ~Memories Off~ is repeated a total of six times within the game's files. This occupies the BGM file names: BGM23, BGM23NL, BGM25, BGM25NL, BGM26, BGM27.

The version present in this game is at a slower tempo compared to the one in Omoide ni Kawaru Kimi ~Memories Off~.

BG00A

This is present two more times in the game. Text translates to:

This is a dummy
Please wait a little longer

This can also be found unused in Remember 11: The Age of Infinity.

The character on the above images is Ayaka Hizuki from Memories Off.

CHR_99

The text reads "ファイルがありません管理者に通報！！", which translates to:

File doesn't exist. Report to the supervisor!!

This can also be found unused in Remember 11: The Age of Infinity.

The character on the image is Tsubame Minami from Memories Off 2nd.

Unused & Uncalled Functions

• Present at 0x0010bd70 and 0x0010bdb8 in memory are two uncalled, and stubbed print functions. It's not clear why you would need to dummy out a print function, than leave it uncalled.
• Present at 0x0010be48, 0x0010be50, 0x0010be58, 0x0010be60 and 0x0010be68 is evidence of removed functions.
• Present at 0x001c9320 is an uncalled _sprintf_r function.
