Guilty Gear X (PlayStation 2)

Guilty Gear X
Developer: Arc System Works Publishers: Sammy Entertainment (US), Virgin Interactive (EU) Platform: PlayStation 2 Released in US: September 30, 2001 Released in EU: March 1, 2002 This game has debugging material.

The arcade sequel to the original Guilty Gear, Guilty Gear X introduces several new characters, new mechanics like the Roman Cancel, and high resolution sprite work which looks pretty slick. Despite this entry still not being quite as balanced as Arc System Works games are now known to be, later Guilty Gear games would take what this game established and build upon it.

Debug Logging

Within the game is a stubbed printf function which would have logged various background information to a debug unit. This logs various memory information. It would also report errors if any occurred. To re-enable this mode, apply the below code for the US version of the game:

If you are playing the game on a regular PlayStation 2, you will need to use a TOOL, RDB, or a debug version of OPL to view the logs. If you are playing on an emulator, you can see this information by enabling the option "Show Console". Below is an example of what type of information gets logged.
