Debug Logging

Within the game is a stubbed printf function. This would have logged various background information to a debug unit. This logs information such as files loaded and memory information. It would also report errors if any occurred. To re-enable this mode, apply the below code:

Re-enable printf Messages
20103FB0 08067664
20103FB4 00000000

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.

SafOpen():end "cdrom0:¥DATA¥NEWMEM.saf", flag 0000, safHd 5
